Usher Says He Was Beyoncé’s Chaperone As Teenagers

The “Yeah” singer was a visitor on the UK radio present Capital Breakfast With Roman Kemp, and he described what went down when he first met Beyonce once they had been simply youngsters.

“She was once in a gaggle by the identify of The Dolls,” he added.

“I don’t know if I might contemplate myself their babysitter, however I had a time the place I needed to watch The Dolls.”

The 44-year-old singer wasn’t a lot older than Beyoncé, as he was solely 14 years previous when he was first signed by LaFace Records in 1994 — so, I consider maybe being a babysitter is a stretch.

“I was at Daryl Simmons’ house,” Usher continued. “He was working with [The Dolls] at the time, and I just happened to be over there, and they were working on a session. I kind of found my way into being their, like, I don’t know, chaperone, nanny, or something like that — the oldest person in the room.”

If what Usher mentioned is certainly true, I’m bummed there are not any random teenage Beyoncé and Usher tracks floating round on the web. Is there an unreleased demo on a cassette tape someplace?

However, we are going to all the time have 2008’s “Love In This Club, Pt. II” with Lil’ Wayne — and it was a very nice period of music.

Currently, Usher will start his eight-show run in Paris on Sept. 24 and resume his Las Vegas residency, My Way, on Oct. 11.

As for Beyoncé, her Renaissance World Tour is at present underway within the United States.
