Revealed: The real reason Usher was sent to live with P Diddy aged 14 - after music mogul L.A Reid arranged the teenager's 'Puffy Flavor Camp'


In his 2016 memoir, L.A. Reid, who signed Usher to his label LaFace Records, admitted he feared he was being 'irresponsible' by sending the teenager to live with 'the wildest party guy in the country'.

Reid secured the permission of Usher's mother, Jonetta Patton, a medical technician and director at St Elmo Missionary Baptist Church, who had left her job to be his manager full time, and off he went to New York. Justin's wife Hailey was moved to share a bold post featuring her husband this week because she wanted to show the world how she feels amid the ongoing speculation surrounding his formerly close relationship with Diddy, sources have revealed. The insider noted that the Rhode beauty founder's picture choice was extremely telling, as they continued: 'Out of the 100s of photos of Justin giving the middle finger, she had to choose one from 2017 that was taken before he got back together with [his ex Selena Gomez] again.'
