Usher has taken a cheeky swipe at the woman who brutally snubbed his on-stage lap dance at a recent show with a message to the crowd on Tuesday night.
The R&B superstar, 47, was performing the R&B Tour in Birmingham, Alabama, when he invited a female member from the crowd up on stage and gave her a sassy warning.

Before he pulled her up on stage for a sensual performance of Can U Handle It? he laid out the rules.
“Now before we get started, don’t bring your ass up here if you don’t want to be here,” Usher told the crowd in fan footage shared from the show.
“God don’t like ugly. But he most certainly don’t feel too good about pretty privilege either,” he added.
Chris Brown, who is co-headlining the tour with Usher, laughed when the Jumbotron camera panned to him at that moment.
The Yeah! Hitmaker then put on one hell of a show with the woman, who clearly didn’t feel the same way about being on stage that Nashville nurse Gabrielle Cheyenne did earlier this week.
According to more footage from the show, Usher was later straddled by another fan who was filmed grinding on the singer while he lay on a bed in another viral clip.
The cheeky comment from Usher came just days after he booted Cheyenne from the stage after she appeared to be uninterested in him during the steamy on-stage moment.

Usher noticed she wasn’t enthused in the moment and told the crowd: “I don’t think she wanna be on the stage.”
In fan footage, Usher walked away from her and waved his hand, signalling for her to leave as some in the crowd began to boo.
The 24-year-old defended herself on Facebook, and explained that she and her mother had floor seats for the show.
“Their team approached us and moved us to VIP before the show even started,” she said, attributing it to “pretty privileges”.
She continued on Instagram, insisting her attitude was not “nasty”.

“Ya’ll don’t know me in real life! I’m quiet and keep to myself but don’t think that ya’ll are gonna bully me about an experience that ya’ll didn’t get,” she wrote.
The R&B star has become known for his raunchy and provocative on-stage interactions with fans during his shows.
The bed segment, which has been the centre of all the drama this week, has been a regular inclusion of his R&B Tour.
During the moment Usher will serenade a fan – and deliver an X-rated performance in the process.
