Usher Played The Cruelist April Fool's Prank On Fans At His Concert—And They Were Not Happy

The singer promised a 'special surprise' before welcoming the one and only Beyoncé to the stage—except it was just a trick.

Fans were in for the surprise of their lives when Usher revealed he was bringing Beyoncé on as a surprise guest at Dreamville Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina on Saturday.

Or so they thought.


During his set, the Grammy winner announced to the crowd:

"I said I would have a special surprise for you tonight."
"Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, put your hands together for the one, the only, Beyoncé."

Needless to say, the audience absolutely lost it—if not for a just a moment.

Usher appeared to be searching and motioning for the "CUFF IT" singer to join him, but to the dismay of everyone in attendance, she never did.

The "Nice & Slow" singer returned to the mic to address the crowd, sadly announcing with a laugh:

"April Fools."

You can watch the moment—and hear the crowd deflate—below.

Viewers of the prank—and even some fans in attendance that heartbreaking day—commented on his cruel shenanigans.

Many agreed that while completely wrong, he got 'em.

A few also chimed in Usher is the only person who could get away with such a savage prank without inciting an angry mob.

In his defense, the R&B star did bring on City Girls to perform their song "Good Love" which features Usher.

...But now we're craving a little "Love in this Club."

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
