Usher Plays “In Da Club” During Son’s Birth, 50 Cent Reacts

Usher stopped by The Ellen Degeneres Show, where he spoke about his fourth child, Sire. He said that he had a playlist with different music during the birth, including 50 Cent’s “In Da Club.”

“The first time, I was in charge of music but I did a terrible job,” Usher said. “But the second time, I came fully equipped. I had my Mophie. I had speakers. I had backup batteries. I had a whole playlist that I had worked on for about two weeks. It was crazy. It was great.”

Usher said that he felt like playing the song “was befitting of the moment. I felt like I wanted to have a little humor and energy at the moment. There were many songs played throughout the entire process, and I was really, really, really, calculated on how I curated that list ’cause I did terrible the first time.”

50 Cent later reacted to Usher playing his song during his son’s birth on Instagram, referencing how both their sons’ names are Sire. “We have 2 Kings now, SIRE Jackson and SIRE Raymond. coolest shit ever!” he captioned the post.
