Usher Says Getting Married At 28 Was His Biggest Mistake

Usher confessed to his biggest mistake ever.

"Getting married at 28," the singer said in the September issue of O, The Oprah Magazine.

While he can't deny the error he made, the "U Got it Bad" singer took the lessons that came with it.

"Most people probably think I regret it because I ended up getting divorced," he told the mag. "But it helped me learn that sometimes I think I know more than I actually do."

Usher married Tameka Foster, a wardrobe stylist, in 2007 and after two years they were heading toward splitsville. During their happier times, the couple had two children — Naviyd, 5, and 6-year-old Usher Jr.

Their happiness quickly changed to a bitter custody battle over the children, and in 2012 the 35-year-old singer won.

Since getting over that hurdle, Usher has taken heed to the advice of those close to him like the late James Brown.

"'If you stay ready, you ain't gonna get ready,'" he said of the Godfather of Soul's wise words. "James Brown told me that right before we performed together at the Grammys in 2005."

The following year Brown passed away, but not before leaving a lasting impression on Usher.

"I've never forgotten it, and I'm always telling people, 'Well, James Brown once told me …'" he said.

No shit sherlock …..
