Guess who gave the following quote:
"In no way would I ever pimp out my child for money."
Yeaaaah, it was Usher. Who's that on the cover of Essence magazine? Yep, same guy. :) In the words of a wise reader, "He totally did it!" But, dang, if that isn't one of the CUTEST babies I have ever seen!!!
Check out Essence for their full article and lots more pictures!
Thanks Jenne!

Wow, what a gorgeous baby. Bet he said that BEFORE he was a dad. A pride thing, Look at how cute my kid is, kicks in. I killed folks with pictures, daily lol. Seems he is human after all.
Wow. What a beautiful baby.
I don't think he was paid for the photos though, I don't think Essence does that. So, he actually didn't pimp his kid for dough.
Pimp my baby implies get paid, did he get paid for these pics? and the quotes was said after he became a father...he did it cuz his album is not doing well and baby= free press
he did the cover for FREE. the quote comes from a page six article a few months ago after he did the photo shoot.
That baby is adorable!

OMG!!! Is that not the most adorable photo ever!!!!! Love Usher's smile & the baby's eyes. Glad he agreed to do the cover. I'm guessing he didn't get paid, otherwise we would have heard what outrageous amount they offered him!

Hopefully if he got paid he donated it to charity! And that baby is ADORABLE!!! Just a question - but weren't people saying the baby wasn't his but his wifes ex at one point?? Or was that another celeb?
He has adorable baby. Very cute.
To all psychos who start bringing racial overtones when I say Heidi Klum's oldest son is ugly--start writing it down in you black book of political correctness.

Oh my gosh that is one of the cutest photos of a celeb baby ever. :) Totally cutie! :D
He didn't get paid. Both Ushers are beautiful!!! Look at the baby's eyes, and how his dad is looking at his little boy. My heart is melting!

So, I suppose the mother wasn't important enough to include in the shoot? This guy is such a colossal d**k.

A few months ago they did a huge story on her without him; they didn't ignore her. Additionally, this was their annual men's issue so there weren't many women in the mag. HTH
I think it was because the focus of the article was fatherhood. Also this magazine already did an interview with his wife a few months ago. I'm not a fan of Usher but this picture is adorable.
omg that is the most adorable baby ever he is soooooooooooooooooo sooooooooooooo cute
Yeah there is no way he'd pimp his child, because no one cares about his child. his mother hates his wife, the public doesnt know who she is and yeah his kids cute, but id take angie pimping her twins any day over ushers kid
I think what Usher meant about pimping his child is getting paid for baby photos. Only the tabloids pay. Entertainment and fashion magazines like Essence don't. In my opinion, there's no difference concerning paying of pictures. The celebrity is still showing off their child and a picture would be released anyway.

so cute...God Bless
Cutest baby ever!
I doubt he got paid much for this...it's more for pub than money...but publicity turns into money in the long-term...But I cand understand not wanting to hold out and give pics to the highest bidder.
thats the most beautiful baby boy ever! you can almost imagine how he will look like in 18 years, i bet he will be more handsome than his gorgeous daddy!
at least he doesn't look the mama...
at least he doesn't look "like" the mama...
