The legendary Usher joins Shannon Sharpe at Club Shay Shay for a drink and chat that goes far beyond the music charts. Usher gives the inside scoop on his upcoming performance during the Super Bowl Halftime Show and drops a bombshell - he was once slated to be part of a mega group featuring Jay-Z, Pharrell, and Diddy. Usher and Shannon delve into the what-ifs of this powerhouse collaboration. Past the hypotheticals, Usher discusses his the definitive moments of his career, including his Vegas residency that recently wrapped up. Then, Usher provides an inside scoop to the sides of showbiz many people never get to experience, like what really went down at Diddy's Flavor Camp. As if being an 8x Grammy Winning pop icon wasn't enough of a job for Usher, he also reveals that he was once the babysitter of none other than Beyoncé. As the secrets and stories unfold it becomes clear that this episode is more than a conversation, it's a backstage pass to the stories behind the stage, all served with a side of Usher's signature charisma.
Additionally, Usher talks about his upcoming album, COMING HOME, dropping just 2 days before the big game. ushermusic.lnk...

Same here! I remember when I saw him at Lakewood back in the day. Now he's in Vegas doing a residency. Can't wait to see him in ATL again soon. I'm so excited for his new album!

Unc, I am continuously in awe of how you have grown and emerged as one of the best interviewers in the podcasting space. You ask the questions that everyone wants to know, and you don’t shy away from the tough ones. Always spot on. Who’d of "thunk it" Keep it up. I’m rooting for you always.
