R&B star Usher has dubbed himself a "super dad." The multiple Grammy-award winner says his baby's birth has transformed him into an all-around family man.

"I'm really like super dad. Really. I really cook for the family," Usher Raymond IV says. He and wife Tameka Foster welcomed little Usher Raymond V in November.

R and B singer and Broadway actor Usher has been tapped to star in the revival of Golden Boy.

The classical play is about a pianist who quit music to become a boxer, a role made famous by Sammy Davis Jr. in the 1960s. This is the 29-year-old's return to the New York stage from 2006.

Usher's mother has called her new grandson a "precious gift from God."

Jonnetta Patton - who Usher sacked as his manager earlier this year amid rumors she was feuding with his wife Tameka Foster - has poignantly offered her congratulations to both her son and his wife.

Usher's wife has given birth to the couple's first child.

The singer's wife Tameka Foster delivered the 7lb 9oz boy, named Usher Raymond V, at 9.30pm on Monday in Atlanta, Georgia.
