“No, it was literally about having fun because of a song that me and Alicia made many years ago, and we celebrated it because of the legacy of it. No disrespect to anybody or anything like that.”

Previously, Keys’ husband, Swizz Beatz, took to Instagram to shut down any controversy over the intimate performance.

“Y’all talking about the wrong d**n thing!” the producer wrote. “Y’all don’t see that amazing dress covering the entire stadium? Tonight’s performance was nothing but amazing with two amazing giants! Congrats Usher and my love Alicia Keys, that song is a classic. We don’t do negative vibes on this side. We make history.”
