Usher's son has got it bad for U.K. pop singer PinkPantheress.
Usher took to Instagram Wednesday to recount how his son,Ethermac Naviyd Raymond, stole his phone to message the "Boy's a Liar" singer, his "favorite artist."
The "Good Good" singer shared screenshots of the interaction between his 15-year-old son and PinkPantheress, 23, to his Instagram story.
"Hello this is Usher's son Naviyd I'm you (sic) true biggest fan. Please follow me back," the teen wrote last week, with sad face and praying emojis, tagging himself. "I put him on to masterpieces."
"hahahahahaa," the British singer wrote back. "this is wild!"
Usher, 45, said he was confused after he saw DMs being exchanged between his account and someone with a profile picture of a character from the "Powerpuff Girls."
"I open it and I'm like oh this boy done DMd this girl from my damn phone," he wrote.
He then shared a screenshot where he apologized to the singer and producer for his son's "excitement," but PinkPanthress dismissed the need for apologies and instead gave a "sweet" invitation to her show.
But to teach his son a lesson, Usher acted as if the teen wasn't allowed to go at first.
"BUT... because my son is such a fan of her artistry... I decided to let him go," Usher wrote.
"My son is at you (sic) show tonight," he later wrote to PinkPantheress. "I had to send him considering his level of dedication and creativity… to figure out getting your attention through stealing my phone… that's commitment. Hopefully you guys get to link."
The pair did just that, with Usher sharing a photo of his son with the singer, both styled in Y2K fashion backstage at her show. Usher then shared a screenshot of a FaceTime call with PinkPantheress.

Usher ended the story time with a "parental takeaway."
"This was a great moment for Naviyd ... this was him movin on something he was passionate about," Usher wrote.
Though his son "violated (his) trust," Usher said he should have known not to leave his phone sitting around and that he appreciated his son's "hustle."
"He masterminded this whole thing and made it happen," Usher said.
