Usher appears to have turned New York’s Sixth Avenue into his rec room.

The man behind “Yeah!” rolled a ping pong table out at the intersection of 46th and Sixth (four blocks from the old SI offices) and just started playing. When the cars started rolling again, he didn’t even bother to stop.

Usher over here on 46th causing havoc and whatnot smh..

One of the witnesses was Greg Wyshynski, from Yahoo’s hockey blog Puck Daddy. He captured probably the best video of the stunt.

Usher is performing Thursday night on Jimmy Fallon’s show. I have a feeling they’ll be airing some footage of this.
