You’ve heard of bitcoin, now get ready for Ushbucks.
R&B singer Usher contacts Twitter for allegedly using fake money with his own name and face in a strip club.
However, the club explains to Page Six that it is a misunderstanding.
Nicknamed “Ushbucks” for a single move on the site of social networks, cash, in denominations of $ 100, $ 20 and $ 1, previously seen on Usher’s official social media channels – stuffed in a transparent suitcase – on April 3rd.
The story began with a woman going through beel0ove on Instagram, who posted photos of the money on her private account on Monday.
A friend of hers then shared it, tagging both the strip club – Sapphire Las Vegas – and the gossip site The Shade Room, which later posted it on their own Instagram. From there, the star’s alleged attempt to start his own form of currency quickly spread through social media, tending to Twitter until Monday afternoon.
However, Sapphire’s director of marketing, George M. Wilson, IV, said Page Six emailed comments, telling us, “Usher was a true gentleman and a great guest at the club.
“He and his crew converted thousands of real dollars to tip the girls dancing on stage” and “left generous advice for the staff!”
“Apparently, someone on his team left some Usher dollars on the floor to promote his Las Vegas residency,” Wilson continued. “That’s where the confusion seems to have come from. But real cash was used to tip. We’d love to welcome him back.”
Usher, 42, announced his residency in Las Vegas at Caesar’s Palace – which will begin in July – in September. Ironically, his most recent post shows him with a bucket hat made from $ 1 bills.
The singer has yet to take into account the scandal that grew publicly. Your representative was not available for comment.
