"The day that I met Usher and Diddy and they signed me, there was something else which I'm not allõwed to say anywhere." Justin Bieber
"I was flown out to Atlanta by a manager who was managing me at the time where I was to meet Diddy, Usher, and many other artists and producers. When I saw Usher, I was like: 'Is that who I think it is?'
And my manager was like yeah. So I ran up to Usher and I was like: 'Usher, I love your songs, do you want me to sing one of them to you?' And he told me: 'Let's just go inside little buddy, it's so cold outside." And I think that was the politest possible way to say No.
And then like a week later, he actually watched my videos with my manager and he was like: 'Oh my gosh! Why didn't I let him sing?"
So he flew me back to Atlanta where I was to meet him so he could sign me to Bäd Boy Records but there was something else." Justin Bieber
