Hey Usher, I'm sorry to hear about your father, but I am happy that your album is being released tomorrow. Thank you for not forgetting about the fans who loved you since you stepped out on the scene. Continue to be a good role model and father. We need more Black men and men in this society to replicate that. Remember to always do what makes you happy. Peace up, A-town down.

Who cares his dad! Big deal! I'm just interested in searching these celebrities in real world. It's said Usher's profile on a biker dating "Bikermingle" was found. His fans found many of his secrets, including his confidential woman
