Usher is laughing off an internet conspiracy theory claiming a body double or clone performed for him during his show over the weekend.
The singer addressed the bizarre speculation directly on social media after fans began questioning whether the man onstage for Night 1 of Usher and Chris Brown’s show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey was actually Usher ... taking to the comments section to say “Ya'll are funny .... clone? They can’t clone this??"
Usher added "How y’all come up with this. A.I. ain't that advanced."
The comment came after footage from the performance circulated online from Friday night's show, with some viewers apparently convinced something looked different about the longtime R&B superstar -- from his facial features to his overall body language.
