Usher Reveals Artists He Was Supposed To Be In A Group With
Usher, Jay-Z, Pharrell, and Diddy all in one group? Can you imagine? Well, Usher revealed that it was actually a thought that came across the artists’ minds at one time.
In an interview with Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay, Usher revealed that the artists were once thinking about being a group; however, he teeter-trottered on whether he would do it.
“I didn’t say ‘No.’ I didn’t say ‘Yeah.’ I think that we just got caught up.”
Obviously, all four artists have found success in their solo careers. Usher has worked with Diddy on “I Don’t Know,” “Looking For Love,” and “I Need a Girl Pt. 2.” He has also worked with Jay-Z on “Best Thing,” and “Hottie Tottie.” Out of all the artists, Usher has collaborated with Pharrell the most, including “I Don’t Know” with Diddy, “Twisted,” “Certified,” “Sweet Lies,” “Hot Thing,” and one of his biggest hits, “U Don’t Have To Call.”
