Many of us unsuccessfully tried to pretend the Met Gala wasn't a thing again this year, but social media became flooded with images of what the celebrities were wearing for their often bad interpretations of the theme, as per usual. After her blockbuster 2024, pint-sized pop princess Sabrina Carpenter was obviously in attendance — with a Saint Laurent-branded cigar in tow, naturally.
Apparently Usher performed for the attendees at the gala at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, which certainly doesn't seem necessary or anything, but rich people will be rich people! There's a strict no-phones policy at the event, but of course, there were official Getty photographers there to document the proceedings. One photo emerged of Usher feeding Carpenter a cherry, which has become a saucy bit he does during his concerts, dating back to his Las Vegas residencies in 2022 and 2023.
"It started with strawberries in Vegas," he explained during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show back in February. "So, you know, I just figured we try all the fruits until we figured out which one works the best. But cherries were something that I felt was fun and just kind of active. It was a bit erotic."
Carpenter's dad, however, didn't find it sexy. On Instagram, the pop star shared a screenshot of a text from him featuring the photo and the following message: "? Weird."
Classic dad text. Thankfully, Usher wasted no time and apologized in the comments section, writing, "Apologies Mr. Carpenter 😅🍒."
It's very funny that, despite his daughter's whole pop persona revolving around being Looney Tunes levels of horny, Carpenter's dad draws the line when Usher gets involved. Or maybe it's the fruit?
