<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>By Kimberly M. Yancey</strong></p><p style="text-align: left;"><strong> </strong>If you were are major fan of the heartthrob in the 1994, you remember him becoming a man, under Diddy’s wings with Diddy’s style. Not that it was a bad thing at the time because we enjoyed the image and the music. Usher’s music as a teen was a bit mature but there were several hits : <em>Can U Get Wit It, Think Of You and The Many Ways. </em>After many stories of Diddy’s negative influence on Usher by pressuring him into sex, drugs and alcohol, Usher does not want that life for his young prodigy.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Here’s what he had to say in his recent interview with MTV.CO.UK</p><blockquote><p>The 31-year old star said: “I had Puff as my mentor, but I wouldn’t pass on any of the advice he gave me,”</p><p>He laughed. “Hip-hop, sex, drugs and alcohol wouldn’t really work for Justin’s image. He’s headed in the right direction. I’ve told him to do everything I wouldn’t do.”</p><p>Usher then said of Bieber: “He has this amazing talent. He has the voice, the personality, he has so many God-given talents. As he begins to open up and go out of his comfort zone in music, he’s going to get even greater.”</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">Justin Beiber is definitely making a break for fame. He was recently nominated for a BET Award . Usher is just trying to do things right this time.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Follow me <strong>@itsmekrucial</strong></p>
