You’re both performing on this year’s Billboard Music Awards. What can we expect?
USHER: It’s an unveiling for both of us, and I’m excited that we’re going to be able to do it together. Since Justin’s first album we’ve been piggybacking—brother to brother, creator to creator. We’ve always managed to come out around the same time and show support for one another.
Each of you have recently taken your music in new directions. As an artist, how do you push yourself to take risks?
BIEBER: I don’t want to lose my young fans, but I also want to mature and develop. I always keep one foot out of my comfort zone, trying new things and experimenting—if you don’t, people will get bored. Seeing the smiles on people’s faces and how I affect them when I perform makes me want to give them the absolute best experience they can possibly get.
USHER: I’m happy that Justin knows that without me even saying that. You really do want to make sure that you bring along fans that have always been there, but make sure that you grow and chart new territory. Even seven albums in, I still try to be innovative, blaze new trails, but allow people to come along on the journey. It’s all about striving for greatness and offering the best that I have. It’s no different than an athlete, or a boxer: standing in front of the person trying to tear his head off, he has to give his all to make it out of that ring.
BIEBER: Usher played me a lot of new songs in the studio the other night, and I’d never heard anything like them before. That’s what I love: He could just come out with the R&B-pop records people expect, but this approach will prove even more powerful.
Justin, with your new single, “Boyfriend,” you incorporate hip-hop beats and rap. How did that come about?
BIEBER: I want people to know that I’m really about the music, and not just putting out songs. This was the perfect first single where I pushed myself, but it wasn’t too “out there” and it had a catchy hook.
What’s the most fun thing you guys have done together?
JUSTIN: We go go-karting a lot. I’ma blow up Usher’s spot a little bit: The first time, he asked for the fastest car, so he won—but the next time, I asked for the fastest car.
Speaking of cars, Justin, you drove here today in a pretty wild-looking ride.
JUSTIN: Usher and my manager got me this electric car called a Fisker and presented it to me on Ellen. That was crazy! I had no idea. Then I sent it to West Coast Customs: They chromed it out and put lights on the bottom so it looks like a spaceship. I get chased no matter what, so I might as well look cool doing it!
What the funniest thing you’ve read about yourselves?
USHER: That Justin had a baby—that was hilarious! It was like the “Billie Jean” story happening all over again. I remember being like, “Yo, I told you be careful!”
JUSTIN: The craziest thing I heard about Usher was just a few weeks ago there was an #RIPUsher hash tag on Twitter.
USHER: That’s funny?
JUSTIN: It was funny to me ‘cause I knew you weren’t actually dead.

How does Justin rate as an MC?
USHER: He’s always been a dope MC. C’mon. Easy. “Boyfriend” was really the defining moment; it became No. 1 everywhere, which is what dreams are made of. Both of us are being modest about what our journeys have been in terms of songwriting: Justin really has participated in every writing session—that’s amazing. It’s easy to just dial something in, but if you make the music authentic, people feel connected to you as an artist from the beginning.
JUSTIN: At the end of the day, I could get a bunch of writers to put the whole album together, but as Usher said, people need to sense the authenticity. It’s not about me rapping—people can just feel that I’m having fun on the record.
Pop music is very rooted in the dance/club world right now, and people love to lose themselves on the dance floor. How do you cut loose?
USHER: Honestly, I might go to a strip club, a rave, or a festival—but he’s not able to do that yet.
JUSTIN: I’m in the studio every night. I really don’t have time to cut loose!
