It’s Usher – you know, he makes you want to squint your eye and put on the duck lips when his baby face crosses any media outlet. After a trying year, Usher has pushed on with newly released single, “Good Kisser” [LOVE IT], putting in that work for the Sugar Ray Leonard biopic, and now by being eye candy for NYLON guys magazine’s July issue.
Usher talks to NYLON guys about giving only, “one s**t” about his fans’ opinions on his musical thoughts. “Two s**ts is a lot.” WELL!
Check out the jump for more from the R&B vet.
On his mentorship in music industry, starting from age 15 when he moved to NYC to work with Sean “Diddy Combs”:
“Artist development made me who I am. Somebody took the time to help me find what it is that works for me as an entertainer and who I am as a music maker.”On his upcoming role opposite Robert De Niro and Edgar Ramirez in the Sugar Ray Leonard biopic “Hands of Stone”:
“I wanted to show a different side of who I am, not just throw my acting chops toward a romantic comedy. When I played Sugar Ray, everything was Sugar Ray. Every day I trained like a boxer. I ate like a boxer. I moved like a boxer.” …”We spent some time at his (Leonard’s) house. I spent time training with him here and out in Los Angeles, just to get the nuances of how to move and to understand his approach.”On his fans reaction to his musical output:
“In all honesty, I give one shit. I do hear them–that’s why I say one shit. I do give a shit, but not two shits. Two shits is a lot. I care enough to make sure they understand that I’m making it for them, but I’ve got to be true to where I am.”
Usher has plenty of things going on. Can’t wait to see what’s next. For now, check out Usher in the gallery and a look into him cooking in his UNMENTIONABLES!
