When he took the trophy, the singer-songwriter informed the crowd that “getting here has definitely not been easy, but it has been worth it.”.
The 45-year-old’s greatest-known songs are You Make Me Wanna and Yeah!.
During the ceremony, Usher also accepted the award for best R&B and hip-hop artist.
“I don’t know, man, is it too early to receive this life achievement award?” he said at the beginning of his 15-minute acceptance speech. Since I still run and shoot the same way I did when I was eight years old,.
The singer continued by talking about how, when he was a young boy, his father abandoned his family.
“I was trying to figure out this nickname that I was given by a guy who broke up with me because he did not think I was cute,” he said.
My father was a product of the real difficulties and perils faced by Black men in America, which can only be understood by someone with a forgiving heart.
He also thought about what it meant to be a father himself at this point.
“The father’s year is here.” He addressed the crowd at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, saying, “Stand up for your daughters and sons and lead.”
