Usher’s Lifetime Achievement Award Acceptance Speech
Following his musical tribute, Usher took the stage to accept his Lifetime Achievement Award.
He immediately put everyone on notice by informing the audience that he didn’t write a speech because he wanted to be “present” in the moment. Usher also admitted that he likes to talk.
However, it wasn’t long before the R&B superstar started keeping it real about his journey in the music business, resulting in him being muted to viewers at home due to excessive profanity.
Social Media Reacts
Twitter buzzed with mixed reactions, as people shared their praises and criticisms of the tribute and Usher’s acceptance speech.
