I know who he is as a young man and I know what fatherhood means to him and how important it is. This is an amazing chapter of his life, and I wish him nothing but [the best]," he told Entertainment Tonight.

The award-winning singer is a father to Usher "Cinco" V, 16, and Naviyd Ely, 15, whom he shares with his ex-wife Tameka Foster, and daughter Sovereign Bo, 3, and son Sire Castrello, 2, whom he shares with his wife, Jenn Goicoechea.
The father-of-four admitted he runs a disciplined household.
"I don’t give them too much space to feel that way. Respect and honor. I enforce code of conduct. See, I don’t care if my kids don’t like me. I want them to love me," he said in an interview with Level in June.
Usher revealed what type of father he is.
In his conversation with the media outlet, the songwriter said he's a fan of "wall sits."
"You literally sit with your back against the wall for a certain amount of time. They get to the age where you want to build strength in them and you also want to instill discipline. You want them to understand I’m not going to keep yelling and arguing with you. Give me my sits. And they know what it means," he explained.

The "My Boo" singer said most of the time he's not giving his children what they want.
"While I can give them love, I should also be able to give them discipline. I tell them you have to be just as alright with no as you are with yes. Also, no matter how big they get they are never going to be stronger than me," he shared.
