L.A Reid didn’t regret ‘turning over’ teen Usher to ‘wildest party guy’ Diddy

Usher spent a year at Diddy’s ‘Puffy Flavour Camp’ as a teenager under the legal guardianship of the music mogul. This experience was pivotal in shaping Usher’s career, as he was mentored by Diddy to develop a more edgy and hip-hop infused sound. Despite some concerns about the decision, Usher’s mother gave her permission for him to spend a year in New York under Diddy’s guidance. Looking back on his time at the camp, Usher admitted to encountering some wild experiences that he didn’t fully understand at the time. Now a father himself, Usher is grateful for the mentorship he received but would not want his own children to have a similar experience.
