R&B singer/actor Usher has been making headlines lately and here's one more to add to the mix. In an interview with MTV News, Usher gave some warning to the younger new artist jacking his style. "I feel like these kids have gotten a little too disrespectful, and I'm about to get [back in there], so just be ready," he said with a smile.
"Well, for instance," he explained, "you got your artists who find their way through the circuit and are following and are not giving the respect where the respect is due. If you know [you're] following and biting, then, hey, give the respect. But if you're not, and you're creating your own thing, then you're good. You should just continue to find your own way.
"Listen, this is not a game out here, man," he continued. "You can't come around here and think that you're really starting the game. Understand, when I came up in the game and I found a trail, I was cool. Bobby Brown went this way, Michael Jackson went this way, Marvin Gaye, he created his little profile and he held to it. I didn't step on those toes. What I did was find a way and my thing and created my thing. Now you have my thing being built. So I look up, and I'm like, 'OK, I see you all. I see you all in the videos. I see you moving, I get it, but pay the respect, man.' "
"You know, there is only one [of me] at the end of the day," Usher added with a confident smile. "You can have a whole bunch of carbon copies of the real thing, but when the real thing comes, daddy's home! I'm here, man, and I'm not afraid to let it be known. When it's hiatus, you have fun, but when daddy's home, daddy's home."
Guess they been told!
