Usherwas under fire for being late when picking up his kids, so he had to take the heat in the kitchen as punishment.
The musician, 43, posted a “chicken challenge” also known as the “reaper challenge” onInstagraminvolving a spicy chicken sandwich fromDave’s Hot Chicken, which countsDrake as a major investor.
“For all the dads out there who showed up late or didn’t meet whatever promise they made to their kids, this is the punishment,” the father to Usher V, 14, Naviyd Ely, 13,Sovereign Bo, 19 months, and 7-month-oldSire, said at the beginning of the Instagram videos.
TheR&B iconlooked at the sandwich and said, “That thing looks super hot. My insides are going to be outside.”
Usher specifies that the sandwich is at the reaper spice level, the spiciest option available at thechickenrestaurant. It’s made with the Carolina Reaper pepper, and guests need to sign a waiver to try it, according to the restaurant. After the first bite Usher says that it’s “not bad” but quickly starts to feel the effects of the heat.

TheGrammy-winning artiststarts sweating and coughing while taking deep breaths. He even had some less conventional reactions to the spice, like scratching his head and saying, “My head is itchy,” before taking a break to drink some water. “I’m just dancing for no reason,” he continued while fighting off the spicy flavors.
“I’m done,” he said after having less than half of the sandwich, despite his kids cheering him on to finish it.
Usher’s sonNaviyd Elytried the sandwich and immediately suffered the same fate as his father and had to drink a milkshake from thechickenrestaurant for some relief.
"I tried the food, and it was amazing. After meeting the founders and hearing their story I jumped at the opportunity to invest," the rapper said.
