Usher attended Dwayne Wade B’day party at the Setai Hotel in South Beach, Miami last Sunday.

.

During the dinner, Usher made a heartful speech saying,

“I have something very special to give Rico tonight, and I’m glad you’re all here tonight to share it with me.”

He then took out his Grammy for Best Male R&B Artist and presented it to Rico.

“This is one of many, but I just wanted to say how my successes are your successes. Without him, I wouldn’t have completed this journey, so I wanted to present this to you as a good friend.”

Usher was spotted out & about over the weekend taking his sons, Naviyd & Usher V, on a stroll & shopping at the Balloon Saloon in Tribeca, NYC.

Usher came out to support Justin Bieber last night in NYC when Justin was honored for his charity work with Pencils of Promise.

“I’m so happy to be here supporting Bieber and Pencils of Promise. Adam Braun is really incredible. I’m really happy to see the beginning of something, the story starts somewhere and the dedication continues to help a lot of people, as well as a big role of an organization and he (Justin) grows as a philanthropist.”

He also answered the big question in the room — how does he feel about Justin and girlfriend Selena Gomez?

“I think they’re a great couple.” Does he give him any romance tips?

“You know I’m not an expert at it but you know maybe I have a few tips.”

“You know Justin has it down,” Usher explained. From the looks of it, he’s definitely making a lot of ladies happy.”

Justin may even be the modern day Mozart. “From the looks of it, he definitely has it going in the right direction,” Usher agreed with us. “You guys stay tuned. If you follow him on his Twitter, his Facebook and Google, I think that you guys will definitely become believers.”

Usher, no stranger to his own controversies, had these words for the Biebs: “Stay strong. And know that all of this comes with the territory.”

Aside from the drama, Usher is especially proud of Bieber’s charitable side. His mentor said he “absolutely” knew the kid from Stratford, Ontario, had a big heart from the start.

“To write a check is only half of it, but when you truly take on a responsibility to be a philanthropist, you accept an effort, and I really think that Pencils of Promise is something that has a very bright future.
