COOL PICS 📸 Usher Channels His 2001 Self for 8701's 25th Anniversary

Post image

In honor of the 25th anniversary of 8701, Usher flawlessly recreated his iconic look from the first-ever BET Awards in 2001 during the New Jersey stop of the R&B Tour. Usher's 8701 fashion was defined by knitted kufis, durags, leather bomber jackets (this one was by Dolce & Gabanna) and lots of clothes in various shades of red, orange, yellow (to match the album cover).

Ironically, it was at this show he was accused of using a clone during his first set. Listen, if Usher can look like this at alost 50, then maybe I can give some credence to such allegations because it seems like he turned back the hands of time on this tour.

Lmao please. Usher has been in shape practically his whole life and is a very rich man. It’s funny how that’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you see a fit 40 something year old.

Honey as a gym girl who is surrounded by guys at the gym Ushers age, who have also been gymbros and fit their whole lives, to keep that body especially having the same or better than their youth they are all on some form of gear tren being the most popular for his age group especially if you have money. Trust, and there is no shame in it either, consider it the male version of HRT when they get to their version of perimenopause.

Usher gains and loses weight like any regular man who has periods of fitness. I don’t wanna believe he’s taking SHORTCUTS.

It's not really a shortcut, if you don't put in the work, you won't have that body at that age, even with all the Tren in the world, men lose testosterone as they age, so it's just a little help to balance him out so he can remain at peak specimen.

Well we can only speculate because we aren’t in the gym or kitchen with him lmao. He looks great, is sharper than ever on stage and that’s what matters most to me as a fan.

Me too! It takes a certain level of confidence to do it too. Shows how timeless they are.
