"Listen, I've been trying my hardest to figure out... how can I get closer to you? How can I be connected to my fans?" said Usher in the video.
"So I'm gonna share my personal number with you guys where you can reach me, text me, and I can text you. Maybe some things that are going on in my life, maybe what's going on in yours..."
"It's one hundred percent me, I know you've heard that before but it really is me. (404) 737-1821. You'll be directly connected to my hip. Here we go."
