You’ve heard of bitcoin, now get ready for Ushbucks.
R&B singer Usher goes nuts on Twitter for allegedly using fake money with his own name and face on it at a strip club.
However, the club tells Page Six that it is all a big misunderstanding.
Called “Ushbucks” by a bum on the social media site, the money, in denominations of $ 100, $ 20 and $ 1, was previously seen on Usher’s official social media channels – stuffed in a see-through briefcase – on April 3.
The story began with a woman passing by Beel0ove on Instagram, who posted photos of the money to her private account on Monday.

A friend of hers then shared it, tagging both the strip club – Sapphire Las Vegas – and gossip site The Shade Room, which later posted it on their own Instagram. From there, the star’s alleged attempt to usher in his own form of currency quickly spread across social media, trending on Twitter by Monday afternoon.
However, approached via email for comment from Page Six, Sapphire’s marketing director, George M. Wilson, IV told us, “Usher was a true gentleman and a great guest at the club.

“He and his team turned over thousands of real dollars to tip the girls who danced on stage,” and “left a generous tip for the staff!”
“Apparently someone on his team left some Usher dollars on the floor to promote his residency in Vegas,” Wilson continued. ‘That is where the confusion seems to arise. But real money was used for tips. We would like to receive it again. ‘
Usher, 42, announced a Las Vegas residency at Caesar’s Palace – starting in July – in September. Ironically, his most recent post shows him wearing a bucket hat made from $ 1 bills.
