Usher: 'My Son Shares My Name Because He Looks Like Me'

Usher is tired of the constant accusations citing he is an egomaniac for naming his baby son after himself, and has hit back at critics who have been mocking him.

The dancefloor demon welcomed his first child, Usher Raymond V, in November with his wife Tameka Foster.

And the star is angered his son's name has provoked such a negative reaction.

He says: "He's called Usher because he looks so much like me. He looks so much like me it would have been hard to call him anything else.

"It was the obvious choice. It's really changed me for the better, he's a great kid."
