Well, Usher is his (laughing very hard) "mentor". And Diddy gave him a Lambo when he was 16.
this dude is on the decline now, his living off pure celebrity, Kim K's show and her team keep her relevant, this dude is looking like
white trash, or as chris rock says "White Toxic"
he needs smash hits to stay relevant, the kids that adored him are now getting older and will move on.
Its all good, New Kids On The Block still sellout 200 seat high school stadiums when they tour.
Usher is now a dud, had to cancel a concert in Australia due to Low to No ticket sales. Lady Gaga is on the decline too.
Money rolls in when you tour, ask Beyonce. Only artist selling well that i recall is Drake and Eminem...maybe Rihanna...
