The video was shared on a separate Facebook page where that video has been shared more than 282,000 times.

The video was shared with the caption, "News: Floods in Oklahoma. Him: Usher is my favorite genre of music 🀣"

Comedian and "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah even shared the video on his Instagram page.

"When life gives you lemons, make an Usher video," Noah wrote on social media.

According to Joseph's Facebook page Saturday, he was contacted by a shoe company to see if he wanted to make another video dancing in the rain. He didn't reveal which shoe company contacted him.

Heavy rainfall on Wednesday has intensified flooding in the already saturated region, where the river has hit record water levels, according to the Associated Press. Officials said an aging levee system was holding up despite a rush of water coming downstream from rain-soaked Oklahoma and Kansas.

In Oklahoma's Muskogee County, the conditions have already prompted the evacuations of more than 2,400 people and flooded nearly 1,100 homes, according to the local emergency management department.
