Usher had the best April Fool’s Day prank ever, and he made his Dreamville Fest fans happy after telling them he had a special surprise guest, Beyoncé, joining him.
Celebrities attempted to pull off their best April Fool’s Day pranks, with DDG apparently hinting that Halle Bailey might be expecting Angela Simmons to step out with a full pregnant belly, hinting that she and Yo Gotti are expecting a baby .
Fans are used to pregnant jokes, and the reactions were definitely wary of announcements coming on April 1 instead of any other day. Usher, however, came up with a unique prank that definitely won over his fans. During his set at Dreamville, where he headlined, the “Burn” artist told excited fans he had a surprise for them – that Beyoncé would be joining him on stage at some point.
“I don’t know if you listened to some of the interviews I did before the show, but I said I would have a special surprise for you tonight, do you want to know it’s that surprise? Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, join your hands for the one, only, Beyoncé,” Usher announced as screaming fans went wild with excitement.
The entertainer played pranks on none the wiser fans as he was even seen waving Beyoncé supposedly offstage. As fans continued to scream, the artist let the cat out of the bag, telling them “April Fools.”
Fans were no doubt disappointed by the joke, but they were a good sport about it. Still, they were treated to a standout performance from Usher, and later, the R&B singer even brought in rap duo City Girls as they performed their track “Good Love.”
Among the performers at this year’s Dreamville Festival were Sean Paul, Summer Walker, Burna Boy and Glorilla.
