He told Shannon Sharpe that he has struggled with supporting his children, while also not taking attention away from them.

"My kids – sometimes, they don’t want me to come. They don’t want me to be at their basketball game or their recital, or they wanna be very, very low-key, ‘cause they don’t want that energy,” he said.

Usher added, "And it’s hard because I try my hardest to have that empathy, but I wanna be there."
