wp query - Show menus to one admin username

So I've got this code which does the reverse of what I want it to do.

add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_admin_menu_links');
function remove_admin_menu_links(){
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    //if( $user && isset($user->user_email) && '[email protected]' == $user->user_email ) {
    if( !$user && isset($user->user_login) && 'USERNAMEHERE'  == $user->user_login ) {
        remove_menu_page('tools.php');
        remove_menu_page('tools.php');
        remove_menu_page('themes.php');
        remove_menu_page('options-general.php');
        remove_menu_page('plugins.php');
    remove_menu_page('users.php');
    remove_menu_page('edit-comments.php');
    remove_menu_page('page.php');
    remove_menu_page('upload.php');
    remove_menu_page( 'edit.php?post_type=page' ); 
    remove_menu_page( 'edit.php?post_type=videos' );
    remove_menu_page( 'edit.php' );

    }
}

remove_theme_support( 'user-admin-menu' );

So the above code hides admin menu's if the username is "USERNAMEHERE", however id like it to do the complete opposite, so id like all menu's to be hidden to all admins apart from a certain username.

I thought adding ! inside the if statement might have done it but it doesnt seem to work ?

    function hide_menu() {
    global $current_user;
    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    $user_name = $current_user->user_login; 

        //check condition for the user means show menu for this user
        if(is_admin() &&  $user_name != 'USERNAME') {

        //your code here
   }
}
add_action('admin_head', 'hide_menu');
