<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&rsquo;s wings with Diddy&rsquo;s style. Not that it was a bad thing at the time because we enjoyed the image and the music. Usher&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s what he had to say in his recent interview with MTV.CO.UK</p><blockquote><p>The 31-year old star said: &ldquo;I had Puff as my mentor, but I wouldn&rsquo;t pass on any of the advice he gave me,&rdquo;</p><p>He laughed. &ldquo;Hip-hop, sex, drugs and alcohol wouldn&rsquo;t really work for Justin&rsquo;s image. He&rsquo;s headed in the right direction. I&rsquo;ve told him to do everything I wouldn&rsquo;t do.&rdquo;</p><p>Usher then said of Bieber:&nbsp; &ldquo;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&rsquo;s going to get even greater.&rdquo;</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">Justin Beiber is definitely making a break for fame. He was recently&nbsp; 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>
