Usher’s good friend and former collaborator, superproducer Jermaine Dupri, was also a surprise guest at his show. Other special guests that made an appearance at his residency over the past few weeks include actress Taraji P. Henson, legendary singer Tevin Campbell, legendary producer Babyface and more.
Following his latest show, Usher continued the birthday celebration at NoMad Library with Dupri and producer Bryan Michael Cox serving as the party’s DJs. Attendees included champion boxer Floyd Mayweather, producer Polow Da Don, record producer and songwriter Keith Thomas, and songwriter Johntá Austin among others. Later, the festivities were relocated to Floyd’s skating rink Skate Rock City where the birthday boy and his guests enjoyed a night of skating.
The first leg of the My Way Residency, which has been sold out every day since it began, reportedly ends on Oct. 29. The second leg is set to kick off at the exact location, Dolby Live at Park MGM, on Mar. 3.
“I wanted to offer something that’s just about joy and fun,” he told TODAY in September.
