Usher performed for Joe Budden's girlfriend during his latest show in Las Vegas.

Usher sang directly to Joe Budden's girlfriend, Shadée Monique, in Las Vegas on Sunday night during his residency in the city. Monique shared the moment he sang her “There Goes My Baby” in a post on Instagram afterward. In the clip, he daps up Joe Budden before taking Monique's hand and performing for her.

Budden and Monique are two of many celebrities who have been in attendance at Usher's Las Vegas residency. Over the weekend, the legendary singer also performed for Kim Kardashian as she watched on from the VIP section. He's also welcomed several high-profile guests to perform alongside him. Just this month, he's brought out 21 Savage and Yung Miami to grace the stage.

Usher has ambitions that extend beyond Las Vegas as well. He recently admitted that he hopes to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show. “I’d be a fool to say no,” Usher said during an interview with Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans. “Well, I mean, you know, things line up that we would all hope. You know, one day, that moment will happen.” Usher also mentioned several famous performances, including Michael Jackson, Prince, and Dr. Dre. He added that adding his name to the list is on his “bucket list.”

Ahead of his residency in Sin City, Usher spoke with BET about wanting to make each show memorable for the audience. “That’s because of the time and passion I put into the art,” he said. “The art is the show, the music is the offering, right? Because everybody’s going to interpret what I’m saying maybe a different way because of their experience or what they feel. But the art of it and the time where I get a chance to give something to people that they’ll remember forever is in that moment. So that’s what I love about performing live for my fans.”
