Like many in the metro Atlanta area, Usher is apparently staying at home as the coronavirus outbreak has led health officials and city officials to urge the public to do so.
But for the Atlanta-based crooner, remaining in the house means he and his family are dealing with some serious “cabin fever,” as he wrote in an Instagram post Sunday.

In an effort to have some fun at home, the singer and his family engaged in the viral “Flip the Switch” challenge on the video-sharing social media service TikTok. Usher, whose full name is Usher Raymond IV, posted the footage to his Instagram account March 15.
“Cabin Fever #familytime #tiktok #lol #fliptheswitch #challenge Comment below some of the other challenges we should try?” Raymond captioned the footage.

The singer’s two sons and a young girl, who is reportedly his niece, filmed themselves dancing in the bathroom mirror. Raymond entered and as Drake sang “I just flipped the switch,” the girl did just that. When the light came back on, everyone exchanged outfits. Raymond stood on one end dancing in his son’s blue and grey outfit and holding his phone.
The viral challenge took off this year after it emerged on TikTok. It's set to Drake's 2018 song, "Nonstop" and has seen celebrities, including Super Bowl LIV headliner Jennifer Lopez and retired MLB star Alex Rodriguez, join it, as well as "Saturday Night Live" star Kate McKinnon and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
