Usher was ''born'' to be a father.

The 'Yeah' singer - who has children Usher Raymond V, four and three-year-old Naviyd with ex-wife Tameka Raymond - is adamant he is not an ''absentee'' parent as his former spouse has previously claimed, and insists being a dad is one of the most important things in his life.

Usher's custody battle will go ahead despite his stepson's death.

The 'OMG' hitmaker had asked for the court date in his battle with former wife Tameka Raymond to be pushed back after her son tragically died following a jet ski accident but the judge has ruled against him.

Usher's ex-wife says he didn't care about her dead son.

The OMG hitmaker was devastated when Kile Glover - the 11-year-old son of his ex-wife Tameka Raymond and her former partner Ryan Glover - died from heart failure two weeks after being left brain dead following a jet ski accident but Tameka insists he is merely trying to win sympathy.
