R&B superstar Usher has had quite the week.
First, he performed the Super Bowl Halftime Show in Las Vegas on Sunday, which had record numbers. Then, he and his girlfriend got married as one does in Vegas.
On Wednesday, he returned to his Atlanta roots for a special ceremony where the city granted him the Phoenix Award — the city’s highest honor that recognizes an individual or group for their outstanding service to the city.
Channel 2′s Karyn Greer got an exclusive 1-on-1 interview with Usher about the honor, his Super Bowl performance and more RIGHT NOW on Channel 2 Action News.

“I’m hoping the rest of the world is feeling the love that has come from this city. Atlanta is a city of belief. Atlanta is a city that allowed me to be that Phoenix to rise. It is a city that has allowed me to have the tenacity to go out and share this culture that I found when I was here. The culture that informed who and what I am as an entertainment,” Usher said at the ceremony.
