The R&B star has not tried to interfere in Bieber's recent trouble as he insists that the 20-year-old singer needs to learn from his own mistakes, reported Contactmusic.
Usher, 35, has been the mentor of the pop star since he became successful at the age of just 13.
"I gave every bit of advice and always told him it was up to him if he really wanted this. Now that he has it, as an adult, it's his to manage. Do I turn my head in shame based off of what I see, what I know? Nah, I don't because it's all part of life's process. Am I in it with him? Yeah," said Usher.
"Artistic 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," he explained.
"It's unfortunate. I hate some of the things I hear. Is it all true? I don't know. But I will tell you this: Success comes with a price. Every person that has grown up, grows up with something. It ain't just perfect from the beginning," said Usher.
