Usher Speaks on his Manager/Girlfriend 'Grace Miguel'.

I am not quite sure why Usher choose to mix business with pleasure 'again'. His Ex-wife Tameka was his stylist before he decided to date her, look how that turned out. I really hope it works out this time around and she continues to keep him happy, he deserves it.

Usher covered the latest issue of Billboard Magazine where he speaks on his incredible body, love life with his 44 year old manager and girlfriend 'Grace Miguel' and upcoming album. 

[On his relationship with his partner]

I have an incredible partner and manager. She has helped me through some of the hardest times in my life and my career.

She’s someone who
has been able to support and understand all of who I am. Not just as a dancer or as a performer or as a singer, but as a humanitarian and a businessman and as a person. One thing that has come from having a great partner like Grace is being able to cherish the places that I’ve gone. We see the monumental sites, go to the museums, eat in the best restaurants. I’m that guy now! In the past I’d do what I have to do and get on the bus to the next city. Life has become a vacation.

[On delaying his next album:]

I just ain’t ready. Meaning I have more that I want to say and more that I want to do. My process is pretty different. L.A. Reid will tell you, it takes two albums to make one with Usher.

Marketing is more important than it has ever been. But I’m trying to tear the layers back and make it not so contrived. I think people just want entertainment. For certain artists it might be hard, but they don’t have the show..

[On his incredible body:]

These days, I try to eat for my blood type when I’m not eating for the fat kid inside me. A doctor I know came up with it, but hasn’t released it yet, so I don’t want to tell you too much about it. But the idea is to eat the foods that work best for your body. For my blood type the meats I can eat are pork, beef and fish.

[On Diddy being his mentor in the ’90s:]

I’d say I earned my stripes in New York City. My time with Puff, it gave me chutzpah….I got to see performers like Tupac Shakur, Redman, Method Man, Ice Cube. I got to perform onstage with The Notorious B.I.G., be in sessions with him and Craig Mack. I got to be part of the driving force that was Bad Boy, that was Puff.

[On his current relationship with Justin Bieber:]

Our relationship is more man-to-man now. He’s making his own decisions and it’s important to show support. I can say I’m not happy with all the choices my friend has made, but I’m supportive of him. I try my hardest to give as much positive reinforcement as I can. I’ll punch him in the f—ing chest when I need to, and give him a hug and kiss when I need to. It’s more than just mentoring. I love the kid.
