Usher Records New Song With Ludacris, Lil Jon and Jermaine Dupri, 15 Years After 'Yeah!'

Singer Usher is reuniting with Ludacris, Lil Jon and Jermaine Dupri for new music, over a decade since their massive hit “Yeah!”

The news broke when a fan asked on Twitter, “Are Usher, John and Luda ever going to do it again?”

Lil Jon dropped the bombshell in a response, “WE DID IT ALREADY ? COMING ON @Usher NEW ALBUM ? ? ? ?.”

Ludacris took the tweet and posted it to Instagram captioned, “Sh-t Slappin Too ????.”

Jermaine Dupri commented, “Oh yeah!!! And don’t leave me out, I’m in on this too @liljon @ludacris.”

“Yeah!” was featured on Usher’s album Confessions released in 2004. The song became the track of the summer. The album stayed on the chart for over a year. It sold over 10 million copies in the US and 20 million worldwide.

Fans were quick to show their excitement writing “Can’t wait been a long time coming” and “Ya need to stop. I ain’t been to the club in a minute. I been looking for reasons.”

Following 2004’s Confessions, Usher released 2008’s Here I Stand (sold 5 million worldwide), 2010’s Raymond v. Raymond (which sold 2 million worldwide) and 2012’s Looking 4 Myself (504,000 copies sold).

His last album Hard II Love was released in September 2016. It failed to sell like his previous albums. Usher has been in the studio for months working on new music.

The new album is expected to be fire with the singer having quite the year.
