Usher called the incident a "pop [culture] moment" that is "worth talking about," following the scandal arising from his Las Vegas residency appearance.

"Rather, it was a conversation of what was going on with us having fun in front of the audience or conversation about that song."

"Every night I'm thinking about how the world now is going to react to this moment that I'll have with whoever I'm choosing to sing to," he continued.
