It’s time to hear the ugly truth for Justin Bieber, and it sounds like he’s going to be hearing it from his mentor himself! A source close to Usher told HollywoodLife.com exclusively that he’s really embarrassed by his protégé’s recent actions — and doesn’t know if he’ll be able to help.
Selena Gomez may be happy to take Justin Bieber back, but Usher feels like the love he really needs is “tough love” — he’s actually “embarrassed” of the man that Justin has turned into, following his recent legal troubles.“Usher feels like the person that Justin has become is a complete embarrassment,” a source close to the singer told us exclusively.
“Usher is certainly a mentor to Justin but he feels that Justin has gone off the rails and hasn’t listened to his advice. Usher is now taking things tot he point that Justin has to live and learn. Tough love is the remedy he thinks Justin needs.”
Meanwhile, Justin Bieber slamed Usher during his deposition video which was released on Mar. 10 by TMZ. The troubled pop star was arrogant, disrespectful, and all of the above when he was asked about his one time mentor.
When asked if Usher discovered him, Bieber disses his mentor, saying that he was actually discovered on YouTube, reports TMZ.
Justin made further claims that he was the only one who was instrumental in his own success, saying “I was detrimental to my own career.”
