Ahead of his upcoming Paris concerts, Usher shared an interesting tidbit about his past involving none other than music sensation Beyoncé. During an appearance on the UK radio show Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp, Usher recalled a unique experience from his younger days.

He revealed that he actually knew Beyoncé when she was just 11 or 12 years old. Back then, Beyoncé was part of a group called The Dolls. Usher recounted how he ended up being around The Dolls during a session at record producer Daryl Simmons' house. He jokingly mentioned being like a "chaperone" or the oldest person in the room for them.

Usher, who started his own music career at a young age, was signed to a recording deal when he was 14. While there's no evidence of collaborations between Usher and Beyoncé during their youthful interactions, they did eventually team up in 2008 to create the song "Love In This Club, Pt. II," featuring rapper Lil Wayne. The track had a successful run on the charts, spending 14 weeks and reaching No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100.
