When Usher gives someone their flowers , he means it.

The Confessions singer briefly paused one of his Las Vegas residency shows to hand a bouquet of red roses to Queen Latifah, who was seated in the audience. Thats according to a clip from a now-expired Instagram Story posted by Usher himself.

In the clip, which found its way to social media on Sunday, Usher can be seen hugging the rap icon, who then blows him a kiss. Latifahs hit 1993 single U.N.I.T.Y. is audible in the background. The tribute was likely in celebration of Latifahs March 18 birthday.

Giving the queen her flowers, Usher wrote in a text overlay of the video, showing his admiration and appreciation of the Equalizer actor.

Latifah, born Dana Owens, also celebrated her birthday in an Instagram post over the weekend.

Feeling grateful for another amazing year filled with love and light, she wrote in the caption .
