Usher and Little Usher do Essence

Usher and Baby Cinco (Usher V) covers the August 2008 issue of Essence Magazine. In the feature he shoots down the rumors surrounding the firing of his mom and defends his marriage (yet again) to Tameka Foster: On Fatherhood: “He’s gonna admire me, he’s gonna look up to me. He’s gonna say, ‘I wanna be’ or he should say - ‘I wanna be like my father.” On His Marriage: “They think that it was forced. I’ve heard a lot of comments like, “Oh, she trapped him.” “He got a baby by her, and then she’s married and she’s set for life.” “No. She wasn’t pregnant when I asked her to marry me. There’s some sort of huge conspiracy over this, the fact that I made these choices in my life. No I grew older. As a man, I have to take responsibility and take a hold of my life. I’m accountable for what happens to my life now.” Source: NB
