Usher Seemingly Admitting That His First Kiss Wasn’t Intentional Sparks Online Discourse: ‘When Usher Is Ready, He’ll Tell His Story’

Usher’s response to a first kiss question on Keke Palmer’s podcast is fueling online discourse, with fans speculating about his past.

During a round of quickfire questions, Keke asked Usher,

“How old were you when you had your first kiss, and who was it?”

Usher hesitated and replied, “Ummmm, that I actually intended to have?” before adding, “You know, I had, there was a couple…you know.” Keke quickly picked up on his discomfort and shifted the conversation.

Usher’s suggestion that his first kiss wasn’t intentional has fans questioning whether something traumatic happened during his upbringing. One person on X shared,

“I honestly believe when Usher is ready, he will tell his story. I just wanna give him a hug. You can tell the child in him is hurt.”
