Swizz Beatz was more than cool with his wife Alicia Keys' performance with Usher at the Super Bowl halftime show. The supportive husband is totally defending her against the haters with an Instagram post.

The uproar from some viewers was due to a duet between Keys and Usher performing If I Ain't Got You and My Boo during the spectacular performance. Though it sounded great, there was a moment when Usher wrapped his arms around Keys, almost as if they were a couple.

That gave people the wrong idea that more than singing was up between the two. However, Beatz isn't having it.

In an Instagram post, he defended his Grammy-winning wife with a lengthy gripe full of support. And to see Giants in Brooklyn…

It included photos of Keys in her red attire at the Super Bowl. One pic shows her and Usher, obviously friendly with each other — but that's all.

Beatz said, “Y'all talking about the wrong damn thing!!! y'all don't see that amazing dress covering the entire damn stadium.”

He added a lightning bolt emoji and more.

“Tonight's performance was nothing but amazing with 2 amazing Giants!” he added. “Congrats @usher and my love @aliciakeys that song is a classic (heart emoji) We don't do negative vibes on this side we make history (peace emoji) Go see GIANTS at @brooklynmuseum it's open until July blessings (prayer emojis).”

Swizz has been married to Keys since 2010, HipHopDX reports. As for her collab with Usher, they worked together on My Boo (and others), so there's a long history there of two musicians getting along.

Lots of posts have surfaced about the performance. Here are a handful of them…

And, in case you missed the performance, here's a clip.

Whatever thoughts are on Usher and Alicia Keys' performance, it doesn't matter. Swizz Beatz isn't losing any sleep over it, and the Super Bowl halftime performance was amazing. I'm sure this isn't the last time we'll see Usher and Keys collab.
