During an episode of the Rickey Smiley Morning Show<\/a><\/em> this week, Da Brat revealed that she talked to Usher about the incident, who explained that the reports of an altercation were exaggerated.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWell, I spoke to Usher and he said, \u2018This is an exaggeration of conversation,\u2019\u201d explained the rapper and radio personality. \u201cHe\u2019s been nothing but supportive of plenty of issues that Justin Bieber has had throughout the years and y\u2019all can actively check the records for all that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Da Brat went on to say that Usher told her, \u201cJustin is on his own journey, dealing with his own reality he\u2019s created,\u201d but there are no hard feelings between them<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cUsher wishes him nothing but the best and they have no hostility towards each other,\u201d Da Brat continued. \u201cThey definitely love each other so people just take things out of context when they see something and they run with it and I\u2019m just here to say that is not the issue. They are definitely cool with each other and they have love and they support each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This clarification comes a little over a week after rumors that Usher and Bieber got into a heated exchange at Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z\u2019s Oscars after-party. Though Da Brat confirmed that the artists did speak at the event, she says it was not a full-blown argument.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThey had a conversation and somebody heard the conversation with the two of them,\u201d she reiterated. \u201cPeople are just taking it and twisting it and turning it around. But I\u2019m letting you know that everything is OK between them and there\u2019s [no] hostility.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s not the only thing Usher is speaking out about this week.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Jabari Young for the Forbes series The Enterprise Zone<\/em>, the \u201cOMG\u201d singer sang the praises of Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs, adding that his conviction should not take away from his status as a legacy figure.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have anything negative to say about Sean Combs because my experience was not what the world has seen and how he\u2019s been, you know, misrepresented,\u201d Usher said. \u201cI\u2019m not saying that every man is perfect. I\u2019m not saying that all of us don\u2019t have flaws, but I can\u2019t with any sense of humanity not recognize the valuable contributions that this man made.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cSo many people benefited from what he created and I acknowledge that which is why I see him as a legacy figure,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Usher was first introduced to Combs when he was a teenager, living with him in 1994. Diddy later served as the executive producer of Usher\u2019s debut self-titled album.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cPuff was a mentor above\u2026 I think that the idea of the level of discipline came with that time in business, especially in an era that was trying to prove itself culturally in hip-hop,\u201d Usher added. \u201cNow, you can\u2019t turn on the television and not see the influence of hip-hop. The people who actually made that appropriate and are the forefathers are people like Sean Combs. Not just in the great times that they had, musically, but in the idea of being able to find ways to monetize culture and create something that was not just black or white, it was colorless.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s who I see that man as. And that\u2019s what I choose to remember,\u201d he continued. \u201cThere are trials and tribulations that come with the pressures of success and power. But what we choose to do with it is what I hope that you see with me and hopefully other people that I\u2019m involved with, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
