Earlier this week, Usher stopped by The Ellen Degeneres Show to chat about the birth of his son Sire.
While speaking about the moment he welcomed his fourth child into the world, the R&B legend revealed that he blasted 50 Cent’s No. 1 single “In Da Club” during the birth.
“The first time, I was in charge of music but I did a terrible job,” Usher explained. “But the second time, I came fully equipped. I had my Mophie. I had speakers. I had backup batteries. I had a whole playlist that I had worked on for about two weeks. It was crazy. It was great.”
Usher continued, “It was befitting of the moment. I felt like I wanted to have a little humor and also energy in the moment. There were many songs played throughout the entire process and I was really, really, really, calculated on how I curated that list ‘cause I did terrible the first time.”
50 Cent took to Instagram on Friday to acknowledge Usher’s song selection, writing, “We have 2 Kings now, SIRE Jackson and SIRE Raymond. coolest shit ever!” Fif captioned the post, in reference to his son sharing the same name as Usher’s child.
