Grammy-winning artist Usher took center stage at a rally in Atlanta on Sunday, endorsing Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States. He joined Harris on the campaign trail the day before.
Speaking to Georgia voters, Usher highlighted Harris’ commitment to inclusivity and her vision for a nation that benefits everyone.”I’m supporting Kamala Harris because she fights for everyone’s rights and freedom,” he said.
He emphasized that her vision encompasses all citizens, supporting small businesses, investing in health and communities, and providing opportunities for advancement.
Addressing the enthusiastic Atlanta crowd, Usher underscored the significance of the upcoming election, stating, “With just 17 days left, we have the chance to choose a new generation of leadership. I’m here to support the next president of the United States, Kamala Harris.”
When a fan shouted, “I love you, Usher!” the singer playfully replied, “I love you, but I love Kamala Harris even more,” energizing the audience further.
Throughout his speech, Usher stressed the importance of voter turnout in Georgia, urging the crowd to mobilize in the final days of the campaign. “We’ve got work to do, Atlanta, to get this campaign across the finish line. I’m counting on you. We can make a difference in this election.”
Usher was the second artist to join Harris’ campaign trail. Earlier Harris was joined by singer Lizzo in Detroit.

Despite the outpouring of support for Kamala Harris, not everyone was on board with Usher’s endorsement. People on the internet were quick to call out Usher’s alleged ties to Diddy’s controversial “Freak-Offs” parties.
One user wrote, “Usher is the man who went to Diddy’s “Puffy Flavor Camp” when he was 14 years old and then subsequently brought a child named Justin Beiber to Diddy on a silver platter.”
Another said, “Partnered up with Usher after the Diddy stuff??”
One user igniting the alleged baby oil rumours wrote, “Baby Oil user and Diddy partner Usher, managed to make Kamala’s rally more cringe than it already was.”
