Usher has seen the online frenzy that was sparked by his Super Bowl duet with Alicia Keys , but he appears to be laughing it off.

In footage from his recent appearance on radio show The Breakfast Club that was posted online Monday, the singer addressed some of the criticism he received for this months record-breaking halftime show performance , which featured a surprise cameo from Keys .

Social media users had expressed disapproval over the onstage chemistry between Usher and Keys who are both in committed relationships with other people as they performed the 2004 hit My Boo. Usher hugged Keys from behind at one point in the show, which some saw as crossing a boundary.

But Usher said that he has since shared a laugh about the online reactions with Keys husband, rapper and music producer Swizz Beatz.

Absolutely we laughed about it, Usher told The Breakfast Club host Charlamagne tha God.

He also said that in no way should any part of the performance be viewed as bad or perverted.

It was literally about having fun because of a song that me and Alicia made many years ago. And we celebrated because of the legacy of it, he added. No disrespect to anybody or anything like that.
