R&B icon Usher is stepping up to defend his longtime musical colleague, Sean “Diddy” Combs, even as the superproducer serves time in prison following his recent conviction. Per USA Today, Usher said that he believes Combs has been “misrepresented” amidst his high-profile federal sex crimes trial. He said instead that for him, “legacy” is the word that comes to mind.
Usher made it clear he doesn’t have anything negative to say about Combs, stating his personal experiences with the mogul were vastly different from what the world has witnessed. He believes that “In many ways, I think certain people are prosecuted and maybe not recognized for the greatness that they offer. I don’t have anything negative to say about Sean Combs because my experience was not what the world has seen and how he’s been misrepresented.”
