Justin Bieber and Usher were reportedly involved in a heated altercation at Beyoncé and Jay-Z's Oscars after-party last weekend. The exclusive event, held at the Chateau Marmont following the 98th Academy Awards on March 15, saw the two musicians engage in a tense exchange.
According to TMZ, Usher approached Bieber with “energy and anger,” leading to a confrontation that some sources suggested escalated into a physical fight. However, no authorities were involved, and neither artist's camp has confirmed the incident.
Other notable attendees included Oscar winners Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler, alongside Timothée Chalamet, Emma Stone, Jacob Elordi, Austin Butler, Megan Fox, and Emma Watson. Reports also indicated that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made a discreet appearance.
The relationship between Bieber and Usher dates back to 2008, when Usher partnered with Scooter Braun to sign Bieber to their joint label, Raymond Braun Media Group. They collaborated on tracks like 'First Dance' and the 'Somebody To Love' remix, with Usher serving as a mentor. However, Bieber reportedly declined an offer to perform during Usher's 2024 Super Bowl halftime show and unfollowed him on social media the following year, suggesting a rift.
In other news, Bieber performed in his boxer shorts at the Grammys last month, singing 'Yukon' from his recent album 'SWAG'. It was his first Grammys appearance since 2012 and drew strong reactions from fans. Meanwhile, Usher released his concert film Rendezvous and his latest album 'Coming Home' after the Super Bowl.
