The Grammy winner (whose real name is Andre Romell Young) looked honored as he got up from his seat to thank the cheering crowd with a salute before walking over and embracing the “Yeah!” artist with a hug.
“Yo, Dre! I’m giving you your flowers tonight, my man,” the hitmaker said before playing a medley of some of the music industry veteran’s biggest hits.
Usher filled the amphitheater with songs like Dr. Dre’s own “Still D.R.E” and hisEminem-assisted “Forgot about Dre,” as well as several of his iconic collaborations withSnoop Dogg, “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang” Ain’t No Fun (If The Homies Can’t Have None)’
As the tracks played, the “OMG” singer danced along to the beat and even stood on top of the bench Dre was sitting on, grooving to the music.
Usher himself also shared footage of the fun moment onInstagram, showing Dre rocking out to his own hits. In the caption, he continued to show his love for the hitmaker.
“THE West Coast Legend @drdre was in the house so U know I had to give him his flowers !! 🙌🏾,” he wrote.
