Usher Reacts to Kevin Hart Wearing His Iconic Red Jacket at the 2025 BET Awards: “How the Hell He Get My Jacket?”
Usher was minding his business, probably sipping tea (or green juice, knowing him), when chaos came strolling down the BET Awards aisle in the form of Kevin Hart — wearing his coat. Yep, the actual red Ferrari faux fur from Usher’s Past Present Future Tour, complete with his name on the inside tag—crossed out and rewritten in red marker with “Kevin Hart.” The audacity. The drama. The… tailoring? In a TikTok posted Tuesday morning (June 10), the R&B legend looked genuinely flabbergasted. “How the hell he get my jacket?” Usher asked while watching the moment unfold from home. Hart, who was hosting the 2025 BET Awards the night before, channelled full Usher cosplay energy as he prepped the stage for Teyana Taylor’s electric TV debut of “Long Time.” He didn’t stop at just the coat—he tried to reenact Usher’s viral cherry-feeding routine on unsuspecting women in the audience. Spoiler: it backfired. “You’ll get it, you’ll get it bad, if you don’t get your Black ass away from us!” Tisha Campbell and Tichina Arnold clapped back in unison to the tune of Usher’s U Got It Bad — a moment that instantly entered the meme hall of fame. According to Vogue and British GQ, the coat in question was custom-designed by Rocco Iannone, Ferrari’s creative director. “It’s a showstopper,” Usher previously said of the piece. “You know red is a hot, fiery color, right? It’s fun, I just let it speak to what it makes them feel.” Well, apparently it made Kevin feel very Usher. And unlike Kevin’s comedic misfire, Usher has successfully fed cherries to a long list of women mid-performance — including Summer Walker, Tiny, Rubi Rose, and Sabrina Carpenter (whose dad reportedly sent a very concerned text afterward). Kevin may have the coat, but clearly, he doesn’t have the juice.
Ayra Starr Wins Best International Act at the 2025 BET Awards
Alright, babes, you know we always have the inside scoop, and the 2025 BET Awards last night in Los Angeles was an absolute moment! If you thought Afrobeats was having a moment, well, it just had a full-blown takeover, led by none other than our very own Ayra Starr! The nominations alone had us buzzing, with the “Rush” siren leading the Nigerian charge with a whopping three nods! And let’s not forget the fresh faces making waves, with Seyi Vibez and Shallipopi getting their well-deserved shout-outs for Best New Artist. Major, amirite? But the real gasp-worthy moment? Ayra Starr didn’t just show up – she conquered! Our favourite celestial being absolutely fended off fierce competition from global heavyweights, including her brilliant labelmate and hitmaker Rema, to snatch the highly coveted prize for Best International Act. Yes, you heard that right! This isn’t just a win, it’s history! Ayra Starr is now only the second Nigerian female artist to ever claim this prestigious award. She’s officially joined the legendary ranks of Nigerian music titans like 2Baba, D’banj, Ice Prince, Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy. Talk about a glow-up for the record books! The 25th edition of the BET Awards, hosted by the hilarious Kevin Hart (who brought all the laughs back to the Peacock Theater in LA!), was a night of pure Black excellence.
