USHER - USHER: 'I HAVE TWO PERSONALITIES'

USHER has warned fans not to believe the image he presents in his music and on screen - because it is just an act.

The BURN hitmaker describes hip hop and R+B as "sex, drugs and perception," but emphasises perception is the most important factor.

Usher explains, "The perception aspect is a job, and I understand it. I am an artist and I know what I have got to do.

"Every day, I work on two personalities, who I am as an artist and who I am in person.

"As an artist I am very extravagant, but I am the same guy who owns one car. I only own one car.

"Sure, I have a lovely home, I am going to take care of all my people, help them strive for their own dreams and aspirations. But if I buy a watch, I want that watch to last me a long time."
