January 22, 2003 - Usher tells Beat magazine of Australia that he has no love for Dru Hill's Sisqo. "Sisqo was the guy who thought of the idea, but obviously in putting together a group you can't be as selfish as that little muthafu**a was," Usher blasted. "You can't try to put together things and then you get so full of yourself that you lose your mind. I don't know if the audience in Australia knows about Sisqo and how he lost his mind as an entertainer, but I think he did. I think this industry can hype you up so much that you begin to think you're larger than you actually are - and that's what happened. So when the guy approached me, I think the way that he approached me was wrong. It's almost like the dude wanted to battle every R&B artist in the industry, but how can you say you wanna put together a group of R&B artists but you wanna battle and you say that you're the illest of all time? That ain't gonna happen, playa!" Read more.
