Jaheim Says He Wants The Verzuz Smoke With Usher, Slander Quickly Ensues
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Jim Spellman / Getty For a while now fans of the Verzuz battles have been calling for Usher to go head-to-head with other notable singers for R&B supremacy, but it seems like Jaheim has another challenger for the “U Got It Bad” singer in mind — himself.Recently, Jahiem took to social media to challenge Usher to a Verzuz battle saying,”Someone set this up! ! !” and adding he’s giving Usher one month to reply because he probably wants it in writing and sent through snail mail. With a picture coupled with the caption “Let’s settle this once and for all,” you can’t help but wonder when the hell did the Jahiem vs. Usher talk even began. Yes, Jaheim has his fair share of hits and great songs, but Usher was once seen as the King of R&B. Jaheim was ...
T-Pain Forgives Usher For Telling Him He “Kinda F*cked Up Music” As The 2 R&B Icons Share Stage In Atlanta
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Do y’all remember when singer/songwriter and producer T-Pain made an appearance on the Netflix docuseries This Is Pop and recalled how he was on a flight when he was woken up to meet with none other than R&B icon Usher on the plane only to have Usher tell him about how he “kinda f***ed up music” with his signature use of auto-tune in his songs, and how that sent him into a depression? I mean, it was kind of a punk move. Even if you do believe T-Pain’s use of the audio plug-in he made famous was the beginning of the end of mainstream music—which…meh, that’s debatable—you have to admit that Usher being a music legend and going out of his way to ambush an up and coming artist on a flight to tell him that he and his digital voice box...

Listen to Marshmello, Imanbek and Usher’s Mega-Collab “Too Much”
When Imanbek released his remix of SAINt JHN‘s “Roses” in late 2019, never in his wildest dreams did he think it would lead to this. Riding on the sizzling coattails of his multi-platinum global hit, the Kazakh producer has joined forces with Marshmello for a new single called “Too Much,” which features fabled R&B artist Usher. Arriving by way of RCA Records, the track picks up right where Imanbek’s summer 2020 landmark tune left off. With a similar house-pop hybrid structure, it is essentially the “Roses” remix on steroids, inflated by the horsepower of Marshmello and Usher. The vocal effort from the latter is nothing short of stellar, lending to a surefire radio hit. Usher is no stranger to the dance music world. He ...
