Singer Says Son Doesn't Love His Music

"He doesn't care about what I do as much. ... He's like, 'I'm the star. Who are you? You sing?"

Usher says his youngest son Nayvid Ely Raymond, who turns 6 in December, isn't so impressed with the multi platinum singer.

In a recent interview, Usher said: "He doesn't care about what I do as much. ... He's like, 'I'm the star. Who are you? You sing? He told me the other day, he says, 'You're not a great singer,'' Usher, 36, continued with a laugh. His reply to his son: 'What? I'm a great singer!"

However, all wasn't so lost for the Grammy winner as his elder son adores his dad. Usher said his son named after him, who turns 7 next month, has taken to his father's dance talents.

'When seeing me perform on tour in the past ... and most of the time it's past his bedtime, but he's just sitting there studying every move, every second, like laser focus,' he said of Usher Raymond V. "And then I'll see him off by himself doing the moves.”

Usher will showcase his sharp choreography on his UR Experience World Tour, which kicks off Saturday in Montreal. He said the tour was influenced by live shows he's seen from U2, Bruce Springsteen and Frankie Beverly.

'There's this connection and that is what gave the inspiration for this show,' he said of the veteran acts.

He will play many of his hits, from U Remind Me to Yeah! to OMG, on his first tour in three years. He will also play instruments.
