Usher is focused on his wallet! After weeks of scrutiny, after being blasted for allegedly having sex with a woman without disclosing he has herpes, the singer is back out in public, even performing shows! More importantly, he's back in the studio.
The 38-year-old is ready to make a comeback as a sex symbol, and hung out in the studio with Jermaine Dupri shortly after they were seen by a coffee shop in West Hollywood.

The two have a long history, as Jermaine is a music mogul and founder of So So Def records, and they have been working on a new album together despite Usher’s drama.

As previously reported, Usher has been sued by three women and 1 man, who have accused him of allegedly having an STD. He has not released any statement about the controversy, even after one of the reported victims, Quantasia Sharpton held a press conference in New York City saying he hit on her after she attended one of his concerts several years ago.

Though she has since tested negative for herpes after their alleged encounter, she said, “I was upset by the reports because I would have never consented if I would have known. I would not have taken a risk of getting an incurable disease. My health is really important to me. I feel that my rights were violated.”

But according to reports, that never happened, and he has no plans on settling the lawsuit.
