Usher Jokes That He Won't Name Baby on the Way After Himself Again: "Not Like George Foreman" The "My Way" hitmaker's mom couldn't be more ecstatic over becoming a grandmother again, to the point where she's making room in her house for Sovereign to have her own space — even if her son has to sacrifice a bit! "My mom, with all of the kids, she gives them their own room," Usher said of his children and niece. "I'm like, 'Mom, you're kind of out of space, what are you gonna do?' She's like, 'Oh no no no no, [Sovereign]'s gonna have her room. She's just gonna take your room.' " "She's kicking me out. I'm sleeping on the couch and Sovereign, she now has my old bedroom," he continued, laughing. "It's cool." As for Usher's sons, "They're coping well" with having a new baby sister around and are "excited about being big brothers," he said. But at the same time, "They're a little bit too protective, even with me sometimes." "And as they get older, I'm less cool of a dad, so now I'm starting this whole cycle over again and I'm kind of the apple of [Sovereign's] eye right now," Usher added. Usher and Jenn Goicoechea.
