A short but loaded clip from the entrance of a Baccarat Boutique has put Usher at the centre of a heated debate, with scores of fans branding the Grammy-winning R&B star arrogant after footage appeared to show him waiting for someone to open the door for him.

The video, filmed indoors through the boutique's glass entrance on 10 August 2026, captures people walking towards and pulling the doors closed. Overlaid with the caption "Just wait for it" and set to background music that builds anticipation, the paparazzi clip quickly took on a life of its own once viewers began dissecting exactly what unfolded at those doors.

The moment that ignited the online firestorm was subtle but striking to many who watched: a woman seemingly had to open the door for herself, while Usher appeared to hold it open only once a man stepped forward to grab it. That sequence was enough to send social media into overdrive, with users questioning whether the singer's behaviour reflected entitlement.

Fans divided over Usher's behaviour

Reactions split sharply between those who felt the criticism was overblown and others who were genuinely put off by what they saw.

@SmOoChEs_Mwah pulled no punches, writing: "He made that woman open the door for herself then held it open so a man could grab it....the apple doesn't fall too far from the Diddy tree 😭😭😭😭"

@mikediddy97 pushed back firmly, arguing the outrage was misplaced: "Why is this going viral? That's literally that man's job, to hold open doors, especially for someone as HIGH PROFILE as Usher, y'all find any reason to hate this man. He's a fuking wealthy celebrity, this is part of that lifestyle...Of course you can't relate to or understand it."Usher has not publicly addressed the footage.
