Multi-talented, award-winning singer Usher Raymond IV, simply known as Usher, had one man lip-syncing to his classic 2010 hit There Goes My Baby. While the song played, people were more focused on the man's facial features, which bore a striking resemblance to those of the American singer.

TikTok content creator TheBangerMan uploaded the video on 13 January 2026. While he wore a beanie and sunglasses, which covered half his face, the accessories contributed to the similarities. Like Usher, the man delivered the song with much passion as he sat in a vehicle at an unknown location.
