Usher, Foster divorce
Usher files for divorce from Foster, after almost 2 years. His mother didn’t approve of the relationship and it caused a big strain on the couple’s relationship.
My wife is not 40 years old. I love her to death and I’m a black, strong man in America standing up for my people — as a man to my wife, to my son, to my family. I’m making a stand that a lot of us should make. I coulda been like any other man who has a child and live with that woman and continue to just play the game. I’m trying to do it the right way. This is the way you’re supposed to do it! Pay attention, fellas.

Signs to Island/Def Jam Records
After an audition with Usher, Bieber signs a recording contract with Island/Def Jam Records chairman L.A. Reid.
Usher called and said I have something really special for you. I have a gift for you. He brought Justin in. Justin had a guitar, he payed piano, he sang for me. I thought he was amazing. It was a no-brainer.
Reid later says that if he had known that Bieber had been rejected by other record companies first, he wouldn’t have signed him.
Expecting second child
Usher and his wife are expecting their second child together.
I’m so proud to be a father by the time I’m 30. I’d hate to be 80 years old and not be able to run with my kids. I need to still be able to do flips when they’re in high school!
