Songwriter Adonis Shropshire shared on a podcast how Jermaine Dupri called him to the studio late one night in 2004, and they crafted 'My Boo' with just a beat and opening melody. Usher recorded his part despite hating it initially, and Beyoncé was tapped next as a favor after his cameo in her video, but her tour schedule blocked her. Alicia Keys filled in with her soulful vocals, turning it into a six-week No. 1 hit and Grammy winner; Shropshire also debunked a fake Beyoncé demo sung by a session vocalist that fooled fans and radio stations for years.
