Usher Breaks Silence On Justin Bieber: "He Was A Naive Child"

Usher is supporting Justin Bieber after this week's racism scandal, when two old videos of a teenage Bieber using the N-word and joking about joining the KKK emerged.

On Saturday, Justin's mentor posted an old snapshot of them on Instagram and defended  the troubled artist.


"At my core, I am a person that supports growth and understands without judgement, that growth often comes as a result of pain and continues effort," Usher shared, explaining: "As I have watched Justin Bieber navigate difficult waters as a young man, I can tell you that he hasn't always chosen the path of his greatest potential, but he is unequivocally not a racist."

Usher pointed out: "What he was 5 years ago was a naive child who did not understand the negative power and degradation that comes from playing with racial slurs. What he is now is a young man faced with an opportunity to become his best self, an example to the millions of kids that follow him to not make the same mistakes."

Bieber has continuously asked for forgiveness for the racist clips.
