Jason Derulo is said to have attacked two men who called him Usher.
It seems to have been a hot day for the American pop star Jason Derulo (32) when he was about to leave a casino in Las Vegas, Tuesday morning.
In a video, published by TMZ, one sees what appears to be the pop star in a powerful handshake with a number of other, unknown men.

According to the website, the riots must have occurred in an escalator when the 32-year-old passed a group of people on their way out of the casino.
Was called for another rapper
Eyewitnesses describe to TMZ that one of the men in the escalator is said to have accused the artist of being the American rapper Usher. Derulo is said to have reacted by hitting the man.
Then it all must have escalated when Derulo minutes later was confronted by several men about why he beat the man who called him Usher.
– Hey, Usher! Damn you, bitch, shouts a man in the video.
Then it slams.
The video shows what appears to be Derulo jumping over a security fence and hitting the young man in the face. The bodyguards desperately try to intervene, but it all ends in a very chaotic situation.
For the time being, he remains silent
According to Page Six, it is uncertain whether the men in the escalator mistaken the artist and thought it was actually Usher, or whether they were just looking to make noise.
Another video of the incident shows the pop star who is later taken out of the hotel by the police with his arms in iron behind his back.
An eyewitness to the incident tells Page Six that Derulo did nothing to start the fight. It is still uncertain whether the artist has been arrested despite being handcuffed.
According to the celebrity website TMZ, Derulo was taken out of the building and expelled from the place.
So far, neither Derulo nor the Las Vegas police have commented on the incident.
A lot has happened in the life of the 32-year-old in the last year. Last summer, he and his wife Jena Frumes could wish for their first child into the world, but barely two months later, they shared the news that they had gone their separate ways.
The pop artist has also recently spent time getting to know the popular app TikTok, where he has gathered over 50 million followers. This places him among the top 15 most popular users on the service.
