There are many similarities between Usher and Justin Timberlake, however Usher claims to have an advantage over him because he defeated him in a bidding war for Justin Bieber.

In an interview with People, the singer-songwriter disclosed that he had met Bieber and Scooter Braun back in 2008 and had offered to sign JB to his record company. However, he stated that he needed to present a larger sum of money than Timberlake.

Usher claimed to have turned Timberlake’s reputation against him by warning Justin that if he accompanied Usher, he would be the only Justin present.

It doesn’t seem like the war became that heated. During the interview, Usher gives Timberlake a lot of praise and doesn’t say anything bad about him.

Usher stated that he and Justin are both distinct musicians and that he enjoys working with the producers that Timberlake choose. He even mentioned that he would like to work with the former *NSYNC member on an album.

In closing, he expressed his motivation from individuals like as Timberlake, who “should be recognized for who he is and what his contribution has been.”

Naturally, Usher was honored for his musical contributions by being the featured performer at the Super Bowl Halftime Show; yet, his protégé chose not to attend.

We revealed the truth. Usher personally contacted Justin Bieber to invite him to his upcoming concert; however, Justin chose to stay in his suite and watch, as Alicia Keys, Ludacris, and Lil Jon joined him on stage.

However, there isn’t any animosity between the two because Usher stated in a recent interview that “he’s just wanting to tell a different story right now, and I understand that.”

In summary, Usher emerged victorious from the largest auction of his life, and one must worry about Justin Timberlake’s reaction.
