Usher has been receiving flowers over the past few months for the work he has done.
Recently, he was honored during the NAACP Image Awards as Entertainer of the Year and received the President’s Award.
When accepting his award, Usher went on stage and gave a speech, thanking his fans and others for supporting and voting for him.
“My heart is beating really, really fast. It beats with passion. And I’m very honored to be able to receive this amazing award from the depths of my soul,” Usher said. “My passion work is what has mattered for me the moment my mother made me understand what purpose lies with the opportunity to be able to speak to the entire world.”
A social media user assumed that during his speech, Usher thanked the devil for his work as he slipped over the word “depth.”
A video is going around saying that Usher nearly thanked the devil for an award the other day at the NAACP Awards.
Usher has VEHEMENTLY denied the claims and said “GOD is my lord and savior… the devil is a LIE” in response.

“I was thanking the N double-A C P and shift to the depths of my soul… when my words got mixed,” Usher said. “The devil is always at work … don’t let him use my boy. You terrible for even tryna share this.”
