Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris is set to hold a campaign rally Saturday evening in Georgia — and Usher, who has ties to disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, was invited to take the stage.
Diddy was arrested in September on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution, according to a Department of Justice (DOJ) press release. Pop singer Usher, who Diddy had legal custody of at age 13, will speak at Harris’s rally in Atlanta, according to Atlanta First News.

Harris will arrive at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport around 4:45 p.m., the outlet reported. The vice president’s rally is scheduled to start at 6:10 p.m.
Video posted on social media Saturday afternoon shows a lot filled with cars and rally-goers in line. However, as the outlet noted, the location of the Harris campaign’s event was not publicly available.

The Harris campaign has leaned on celebrity star-power to appeal to voters. The Democratic nominee brought larger-than-life rapper Lizzo on stage Saturday at a mid-day campaign rally in Michigan. (RELATED: Taylor Swift Finally Breaks Silence, Endorses Kamala Harris)

Usher claimed he was hacked after a majority of his posts on X disappeared soon after Diddy’s arrest. Other prominent celebrities, including Pink, appeared to have deleted all of their tweets following the Bad Boy mogul’s indictment.
Diddy took Usher under his wing when he was a teenage talent on the music scene. The pair have known each other for 30 years.
