Usher was not expecting his popular cherry challenge to reach an erotic high during a stop on his ongoing Past Present and Future tour.
The suggestive cherry-eating gimmick involves the "Hey Daddy" singer feeding women in the audience cherries or handing them out to couples in the audience to feed each other.
A woman attending a recent show at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena took it further and went viral for basically molesting the cocktail garnish.
In one viral clip, the horny fan in a white short-sleeve Chanel button-up bounces the fruit off her tongue and flicks it while holding it by the stem.
At one point, the cherry disappears into her mouth only to remerge again, going in and out in rapid succession as she keeps her eyes fixed on Usher, whose back faces the camera.
She finishes off the cherry by ripping it off its stem and grinding it with her teeth, her hips mimicking the motion.
The clip cuts to Usher's face, and we can all relate.

Social media users had thoughts.
Some people felt violated by just watching the raunchy display.
Even the security guard maxed out on his patience over the racy ritual.
And a meme was born.
The announcement of Usher's current tour to promote his ninth studio album came following his critically acclaimed 100-show residencies at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and Park MGM in Las Vegas between 2021 to 2023
It also followed his headlining halftime show at the Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024.
The Past Present and Future tour kicked off on August 20, 2024 in Washington, D.C., and has expanded from 24 shows to 58 due to popular demand.
Whether or not the woman's mad skills can be topped by another fan is uncertain. But there will be plenty more attempts at this cherry eating, as Usher's tour runs through May 7, 2025, in London.
