NEW YORK:

Rapper Usher has slammed reports that said he wanted to sell his baby’s pictures.

“In no way would I ever pimp out my child for money,” Usher was quoted as saying by pagesix.com. The singer was upset by rumours that he tried to sell pictures of his infant son.

He said, “I am livid that people talk about my child. What makes you a man more than being a father to your child? I recognise I gave anonymity away when I became an artist, but to have people try to paint a horrible picture of what’s so beautiful - it’s obvious someone is trying to stop something so beautiful.”

Usher had posed for free with his son for a Father’s Day cover for Essence magazine. — HNS
