00:00L.A. Dodgers star fires warning shot at Singer.
00:04Baseball fans, gather round for this one, because it's completely out of left field.
00:08R&B royalty, a romantic boundary line drawn in the sand, and a baseball bat looming somewhere in the background.
00:15Let's talk about Usher, Cherries, and one L.A. Dodgers star who made it very clear, not my wife, not today.
00:23So here's the deal.
00:24Usher, who has made a name for himself not just with smooth vocals and iconic dance moves,
00:30but with a concert ritual that's become almost as famous as his hits.
00:34The man serenades lucky ladies in the audience, sometimes even feeding them cherries.
00:39Seductive? Yes. Harmless fun? Maybe.
00:42But not everyone is here for it.
00:44Cue Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts.
00:47Now, Mookie isn't just a beast on the field.
00:49He's a husband and father who's clearly not about to play games when it comes to his family.
00:54During a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,
00:58Usher shared that yes, he has had a few men tell him to back off during shows.
01:02And one of them was none other than Betts himself.
01:06There have been a couple of people who are very clear that they didn't want me to feed cherries,
01:11Usher said, before calling out Mookie by name.
01:14Mookie Betts of the L.A. Dodgers, he said like,
01:17No serenade. Leave the cherries at home. No cherries.
01:21Yes, Mookie literally gave Usher a no-cherry zone warning.
01:25Now that's a man protecting his peace.
01:28And as Colbert joked in response,
01:30And I quote,
01:30That's a man that uses a bat professionally.
01:34I would listen.
01:34Truer words, folks.
01:36To add some heart to the headline,
01:38Betts and his wife Brianna Hammonds have been together since middle school.
01:42And if that doesn't make you believe in ride-or-die love,
01:45I don't know what will.
01:46They tied the knot in 2021 and are raising two beautiful kids together.
01:51Daughter Kinley, born in 2018,
01:53And son Kaj, born in April 2023.
01:57So yes, Usher can keep his cherries.
02:00Mookie's got his queen.
02:01And he's not sharing.
