She's still his boo.

Swizz Beatz didn't mind how up close and personal his wife, Alicia Keys, was with Usher during his star-studded Super Bowl 2024 halftime performance.

“You're talking about the wrong damn thing,” Betz, 45, said. he wrote on Instagram After many viewers commented on how Usher, 45, hugged Keys, 43, from behind while filming in Las Vegas.

“Yall don't see this amazing dress that covers the entire court,” the rapper continued. “Tonight’s performance was nothing short of amazing with two amazing giants!”

“Congratulations @usher and love @aliciakeys, this song is a classic,” the record producer added, referring to the duo's “My Boo” duet.

“We're not making negative sentiments on this side, we're making history,” Betz, born Qasim Dauddin, concluded. He also continued to plug the art gallery he shares with Keys At the Brooklyn Museum.

Many of Beatz's social media followers joined the DJ in criticizing those who thought Keys was getting a little too cozy with the “DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love Again” singer.

“People don't know what a performance is anymore. 'Bro, it's all a joke,'” one angry user wrote. “This was the best Super Bowl performance since Michael Jackson but no one talked about it.”

“It's no different than when you see actors on screen,” another person explained. “It's just a performance. It was a strategy and it clearly worked. Haha, the internet is buzzing with it.”

“That performance was epic and will go down in history as one of the best halftime performances, not the best ever,” said a third person.

The “Girl on Fire” singer, who married Beatz in 2010, was the first of many special guests at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday.

They were also joined by Jermaine Dupri, who helped Usher celebrate the 20th anniversary of his hit studio album “Confessions.” HER joined the group to play part of 2004's “Bad Girl,” and Will.i.am surprised the audience with 2010's “OMG.”

The “Caught Up” singer capped off his 13-minute performance by bringing his friends Lil Jon and Ludacris outside for a rousing finale to their hit song “Yeah!”

Days before his big show, Usher took a break from rehearsals to get candid about his biggest career accomplishments in an exclusive interview with The Post.

“You know, this has been a great year,” he said of his stay in Las Vegas on My Way. It ended at Dolby Live-Park MGM in December 17 months and 100 shows later.

“It definitely helped to have 100 sold-out shows in preparation for the Super Bowl,” he added. “Now, obviously, a much bigger audience. And the 200 million people who are going to watch it probably adds some pressure, but . . . I'm ready, man. Now I'm getting ready to enjoy it.”

“The hardest part was really crafting it — not actually doing it,” he added. Because 12 minutes isn't a long time to squeeze in 30 years, you know what I'm saying?

“It's a legacy moment — and a legacy moment that gave me the opportunity to celebrate in a place I call a home away from home: Las Vegas. It feels like home to me now.”
