Usher has recently admitted that he is not very happy with some of Justin Bieber's recent behavior and choices.
The 'Burn' hitmaker has been a mentor to the 'boyfriend' hitmaker, whom he had first discovered on YouTube, the Mirror reported.
Usher told the magazine that he knew Bieber since he was 13 and would punch him or give him a hug or kiss accordingly, when he needed to.
The R and B hitmaker added that since the 20 year old was making important decisions himself, it was important to show support.
Usher had also added that it was more than just mentoring and he loved ''the kid."
Bieber has been involved in various vandalistic and irresponsible activities recently including one in which he has been accused of using the n-word as a joke.
