Joking about Justin‘s Disney roots, Usher said that his career was more mature from the onset.
“They probably would have kicked me off the lot,” he said.
Usher added that he was a fan of *NSYNC and “respected” their manager Johnny Wright. He also pointed out that the pair worked with similar producers because they had a healthy respect for each other’s work.
Was he ever jealous of Justin‘s success?
“Do I feel at times that the score was a bit unfair in terms of how people even judged us or some of the things that may have been given to him,” Usher asked, answering, “He had better management staff, you know what I’m saying, access to things I didn’t. I’m cool with that.”

“I’ve always wanted to do a record with Justin and have reached out many a time, but we’ve never managed to make it happen,” he shared. “I think that he’s an amazing performer.”
While he admitted to being “motivated by people like Justin,” Usher is only in competition with himself.
