Usher has hit back at suggestions he named his baby son after himself to boost his own ego – insisting it was his resemblance to the tot which prompted the decision.

The Confessions singer welcomed his first child, Usher Raymond V, in November with his wife Tameka Foster.

And the star is angered his son’s name has provoked such a negative reaction.

He says, “He’s called Usher because he looks so much like me. He looks so much like me it would have been hard to call him anything else. It was the obvious choice. It’s really changed me for the better, he’s a great kid.”
