Back in August of last year, Usher made a statement in an interview that surprised many fans. He claimed that he knew Beyonce when she was young before Destiny’s Child ever became a reality. “Fun fact, I knew Beyoncé when she was 12 years old, 11 years old. She used to be in a group by the name of The Dolls. I don’t know if I could consider myself their babysitter, but I had a time where I had to watch The Dolls.” Though he didn’t elaborate on the story at the time it clearly stuck in fan’s heads.
During an appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast earlier this week, Usher shared the full story. “Daryl Simmons, he had a group by the name of The Dolls, and they came to Atlanta for the first time. This is before Destiny’s Child became Destiny’s Child. I think I looked over them while they [were] doing something in the house; I had to watch over ’cause I was like the, you know, the authority ’cause I guess I was the teenager at the time,” he explains in the interview. Check out the full interview where the R&B legend discussing his experiences with a young Beyonce below.
