“He and his crew converted thousands of real dollars to tip the girls dancing on the stage [and] left a generous tip for the staff!” the rep said.

Turns out, the fake money was actually promotional material for Usher‘s Vegas residency and was never intended to appear as real money with trade-in value.

“Apparently someone in his team left some Usher dollars on the floor to promote his Vegas residency,” the rep added. “That is where it seems the confusion came in. But real actual cash was used for tips. We would love to host him again.”
