Usher’s Props For Puffy

Though an earlier report suggested Usher wasn’t happy with Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs because wouldn’t help him out with a loan in the early days, when he was asked by Radio 1 he provided a different tale. “Actually he was very forthcoming – he actually executively produced my first album,” Usher said. “I really didn’t know which direction to go in as an artist – I signed to a record label at the age of thirteen and Puff did my first album. It wasn’t my most successful album – later on we worked on songs that were more successful as individual artists. If anything he gave me a great introduction in showing me all the benefits of his success at the time.”
