‘Love in the Club’ is exactly what Usher was accused of NOT showing at a Las Vegas gentleman’s venue recently, a feat that caused one of the resident exotic dancers to take to social media to put him on blast.

Suggesting the GRAMMY winner paid performers with counterfeit money that featured his face printed on it, reports of her insinuation took the singer’s name to viral status Monday (April 12) as memes and jokes soared in response to the news.

“Ladies, what would you do if you danced all night for Usher and he threw this?,” she asked in a now-viral social media message referring to the #Ushbucks.

Now, after the club owner has stepped out in defense of the star, the dancer who caused all the commotion is suggesting the explosive response to the joke is “not her fault.”
