Usher has apologized for saying that Chris Brown should “have a little remorse” after the 19-year-old singer — who allegedly assaulted girlfriend Rihanna — was photographed jet skiing in Miami last weekend.

In a video for Jermaine Dupri’s “Living the Life” series, Usher says he is “a little disappointed” after seeing the shots of Brown vacationing. “Have a little bit of remorse, man,” he is overheard saying.

But in a statement late Tuesday, Usher says:

“The comments made during a recent recording session amongst friends were taken out of context and blown out of proportion. I apologize on behalf of myself and my friends if anyone was offended. The intentions were not to pass judgment and we meant no harm. I respect and wish the best for all parties involved.”

Brown is to be arraigned Thursday for allegedly assaulting Rihanna Feb. 8 in L.A.

Usher is slamming Chris Brown over weekend photos that show the troubled 19-year-old singer smiling and riding around on jet skis in Miami.

In a video for Jermaine Dupri’s “Living the Life” series, Usher is seen around a laptop talking about a series of photos with some other men in a recording studio.

“I’m a little disappointed in this photo,” Usher says about the shots of Brown. “After the other photo [of Rihanna's bruised face posted by TMZ]? C’mon, Chris. Have a little bit of remorse, man. The man’s on jet skis? Like, just relaxing in Miami?”

Brown — who is to be arraigned Thursday for allegedly assaulting Rihanna Feb. 8 in L.A. — and Rihanna were staying at a house owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs on Star Island.

Though Rihanna wasn’t spotted, Brown was photographed several times over the weekend, smiling, riding a jet ski and flexing his arm muscles. Despite reports, he did not party with Khloe Kardashian and Reggie Bush Saturday night at the Gansevoort South Hotel.

Both Brown and Rihanna were photographed arriving in L.A. Monday.

Usher’s wife, Tameka Foster, suffered a heart attack in Brazil before undergoing plastic surgery, the Associated Press reports.

Foster, 37, checked into the Sao Rafael Hospital on Feb. 6 for a “simple liposuction,” says Ellen Dastry, spokeswoman for plastic surgeon Silvio Sterman.

Foster went into cardiac arrest while being anesthetized, “but was revived in less than a minute by heart massage,” Dastry adds.

She was then placed into an induced coma before being transferred into an intensive care unit “to avoid unnecessary complications.”

She’s currently recovering in Sao Paulo’s better-equipped Sirio-Libanes Hospital, added Dastry, who did not release any additional details.

Usher, 33, cancelled his performance at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy Gala last Saturday to rush to Brazil to be with his wife. His rep told Usmagazine.com Monday that she was in “stable condition after suffering complications from routine surgery.”

Foster and Usher wed in August 2007. They are parents to two-month-old Naveid Ely Raymond and Usher Raymond V, 15 months. Foster also has three sons from a prior relationship.

Updating a news report on Sunday that Tameka Foster Raymond Usher, 37, had a medical emergency, a spokesman for Raymond’s husband, the musician Usher, said Monday: “Tameka Foster is in stable condition after suffering complications from routine surgery in Brazil.

“Her husband Usher is with her at the hospital,” said the rep, Jeff O’Keefe, adding, “No further details will be released, and the family requests privacy at this difficult time.”

On Saturday night, Usher (full name: Usher Raymond) canceled his performance at the Recording Academy and Clive Davis’s pre-Grammy Gala. Davis told partygoers the singer had to bow out due to a “serious injury in the family.”

On Sunday, Davis, CEO of Sony Music Worldwide, told PEOPLE. “I talked to his mom [Jonetta Patton]. My thoughts are with them, whatever they’re facing.”

The couple, married since August 2007, have two children.

It’s a boy – again!

Sources confirm to PEOPLE that Usher and his wife Tameka have a new addition to the family: a baby boy born on Wednesday.

The new Raymond (whose name has not yet been released) joins older brother Usher Raymond V, who turned 1 on Nov. 26. The couple married in 2007. Tameka, 37, also has three sons from a previous relationship.

A source says Usher was at his wife’s side during the delivery.

Last month, he told Access Hollywood that his soon-to-arrive baby was “one of the best Christmas gifts there is to have.”

“I’m so proud to be a father by the time I’m 30,” Usher (who hit the big 3-0 in October) told PEOPLE back in August. “I’d hate to be 80 years old and not be able to run with my kids. I need to still be able to do flips when they’re in high school!”
