Usher Raymond says his young protege, Justin Bieber‘s squeeky clean image is safe with him. Usher took Bieber under his wings last year and his investment paid off big time!

The superstar crooner, who was mentored by Diddy back when he was “Puff Daddy”, says that his induction into Diddy’s lifestyle of sex, drugs & alcohol is not the route he’s taking as a mentor.

I had Puff as my mentor, but I wouldn?t pass on any of the advice he gave me.

Ouch!

Hip-hop, sex, drugs and alcohol wouldn?t really work for Justin?s image. He?s headed in the right direction. I?ve told him to do everything I wouldn?t do.

He has this amazing talent. He has the voice, the personality, he has so many God-given talents. As he begins to open up and go out of his comfort zone in music, he?s going to get even greater. (Source)

Awwww! It’s great that Usher’s taking his job as a role model so seriously. I applaud him!
