LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Alicia Keys’ husband Swizz Beatz has responded after his wife's sensual performance with Usher during the Super Bowl Halftime show kicked up a storm.

While some viewers felt that Usher was getting too close to Keys during his show, her husband, Kasseem "Swizz Beatz" Dean, was comfortable with it.

Usher's steamy duet with Keys on their 2004 hit song 'My Boo' has led to some chatter on the Internet. The rapper unexpectedly joined Keys as she was playing the piano and performed a bit of 'If I Ain't Got You'. The seeming invasion of her personal space drew significant attention.

Alicia Keys' husband Swizz Beatz responds to 'negative vibes' from trolls

Swizz Beatz took to social media to state that it is simply incorrect for social media users to imply that Keys and Usher's partners are jealous of them when they get touchy on stage.

Beatz praised the production in an Instagram post shared on Monday, February 12, but he also urged fans to pay attention to more than just the performers' chemistry.

He praised Usher, 45, and Keys, 43, for their 2004 hit song 'My Boo', calling it "a classic," and claimed in his post that there were no "negative vibes." The Grammy-winning record producer declared their performance was "nothing but amazing."

"Y’all talking about the wrong d--- thing !!! y’all don’t see that amazing dress covering the entire stadium ⚡️🚨😂😂😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 Tonight’s performance was nothing but amazing with 2 amazing Giants!" Beatz wrote in a caption next to a picture of his wife in a red outfit, performing on stage at the piano.

In closing, Beatz encouraged his followers to visit the Brooklyn Museum in New York City to see their art exhibit, Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys, per Daily Mail.

"Congrats @usher and my love @aliciakeys that song is a classic 🤍 We don’t do negative vibes on this side we make history ✌🏽 Go see GIANTS at @brooklynmuseum it’s open until July blessings 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽," Beatz added.

Swizz Beatz and Keys got married in 2010 and share two children — Egypt Daoud, 13, and Genesis Ali, 9. Beatz has three children from past relationships.

Usher's girlfriend Jennifer Goicoechea has not commented as the couple plans to get married in Las Vegas in the days after the Super Bowl.

Keys and Usher never dated, despite the release of 'My Boo' in 2004. Following his divorce from Mashonda Tifrere in 2008, Beatz began dating Keys. Beatz married Keys not long after his divorce was finalized in 2010.

Beatz has consistently supported his wife's achievements throughout Keys' career. Beatz couldn't help but beam as the Grammy winner was named the "most certified female R&B artist of the millennium" in August 2020, per Us Weekly.
