Usher: Last News

And baby makes five! Usher and longtime girlfriend Jenn Goicoechea are now the parents of a happy, healthy little bundle of joy. The couple welcomed their first child together. “We are feeling blessed and full of love with the arrival of our beautiful baby girl, Sovereign Bo Raymond,” Usher posted to Instagram on Sept. 30. In the photo, the R&B icon showed his newborn clutching at his finger, her tiny hand pressed lovingly against his. The feeling made Usher sweet with love — and he said that he was playing “Isn’t She Lovely” by Stevie Wonder “on repeat.”

Usher was “very excited” to confirm that he and his girlfriend, Jenn Goicoechea, are expecting their first child together! The 41-year-old singer spoke about the baby for the first time ever during his appearance on Good Morning America on Sept. 4, and he couldn’t stop beaming. Usher also revealed that his sons Usher V, 12, and Naviyd, 11, are looking forward to their sibling’s arrival just as much as their dad.

Did Usher, 41, just throw shade at Nicki Minaj, 37? In an Instagram live chat with producer Swizz Beatz, the pair got chatting about potential upcoming Verzuz battles fans are begging for — including a few involving the legendary Lil’ Kim. “I see a lot of, Lil’ Kim versus Foxy Brown. Then I see a lot of — Lil’ Kim versus Nicki? I see a lot of that,” Swizz said to Usher, who responded, “Nah, Nicki is a product of Kim.” Ouch! While Nicki’s Barbz — a nickname for her loyal fans — took it as an insult, others realized Usher was referencing that the two talented ladies come from different generations of hip-hop: Lil’ Kim was a trailblazer for female emcees in the 90’s, while Nicki didn’t hit the scene until well over a decade later.

John Legend paid tribute to Prince with a rendition of his hit tune Nothing Compares 2 U during CBS’ Let’s Go Crazy: The GRAMMY Salute to Prince special on Tuesday night.

The Weeknd has blamed the press for taking comments he made about Usher’s track Climax “out of context,” insisting he meant no disrespect to the R&B “King.”

Usher isn't backing down from an unexpected beef with The Weeknd.

It started off so innocently. While chatting with Variety, The Weeknd said that his 2011 mixtape House of Balloons was a gamechanger, so much that even Usher channeled this new brand of dark, sophisticated R&B on his song “Climax.” Many fans went a bit overboard and said that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye, 30) was pulling a “Soulja Boy accuses Drake of ‘stealing my whole f-cking flow’ ” move. In response to the allegations of shade, Abel defended himself by posting a tweet from Diplo — the man who produced “Climax” — to his Instagram Story on Thursday (Apr. 9). “The production on ‘Climax’ lends itself to House of Balloon era The Weeknd.”

Earlier this week Black Twitter sat ringside as an R&B titan clashed with a Canadian pop star. 

Did Usher, 41, just clap back at The Weeknd, 30? While no names were included in the Confessions singers’ cryptic April 9 tweet, fans seem to think it was directed at the Canadian superstar! “Have you ever seen the moon bark back at the dog?” Usher’s tweet read. The seemingly shady post comes hot off the heels of The Weeknd’s Variety interview, where he suggested that his early work had perhaps inspired Usher’s sexy 2012 tune “Climax.”

The Weeknd says there's one Usher hit that used to make him «angry.»

On Saturday night, fans tuned in for an epic Instagram Live battle between Lil Jon and T-Pain and were treated to long-awaited new music.

Usher, 41, had us fallin’ in love amid his beach day in Malibu on June 20! However, the family fun day took a surprise turn when a paparazzo snapped a photo of the Grammy-winning singer changing behind his car. Nothing too explicit, but a peak of Usher’s thigh was revealed.

Tamar Braxton didn’t hold anything back during her conversation with TS Madison on her May 18 episode of “The Queens Supreme.” During the ladies’ lengthy conversation, the topic quickly switched to recent comments that Usher made about rapper Nicki Minaj being the “product” of Lil’ Kim. Tamar, who’s been in the music industry for over two decades, told TS that she sees Nicki and Kim “as two different entities.”
