Speaking on Forbes The Enterprise Zone, Usher answered to a word association question. When he had to sum up Combs in a single word, it was legacy.

Usher pointed out how his life stories are very different from what is being talked about about Combs now in the media. He said actually he hasn’t got anything bad to say about him, he only revealed that his meetings with Combs have been quite different from those stories that are going around. According to the singer, depending on one’s own background, people might come to different conclusions, and for him, his stand is greatly influenced by how long they have known each other.

Usher recalled that at that time, Combs was like a father figure who significantly contributed to his development as an artist.
