Usher took a stroll down memory lane and got roasted…by his sons.

During the debut episode of Instagram’s new series, “Carversations,” the R&B legend was gently dunked on by his sons after he tried to recall their ages and said, “67,” instead of “6,7.” The clip shows Usher joking about old drives with Cinco and Naviyd, only to get playfully corrected. 

"We used to ride in the van everywhere. You guys were 6, 7, 8 years old, somewhere in that area," Usher said in the clip.

"Did you say 6-7?" Cinco asks.

Usher tried to play it off by clarifying that he was referring to his sons' ages, but Cinco joked, "This ain't the same."

The short segment leans into warm dad energy more than embarrassment. The brothers also teased dad for being out of the loop on new music and culture. Naviyd even coined the term “screenagers” for his generation during the ride. 

"That's not a real thing," Cinco replied.

“Carversations” doubles as a soft explainer for the platform’s new Teen Accounts, a feature parents can monitor to help keep kids safe online, and the debut episode with Usher also served as a snapshot of how social media is changing family dynamics. 

The clip swings between nostalgia and tech talk: at one point, Naviyd jokes that his dad’s generation is “from the Ice Age,” then asks a sharper question: if Instagram existed when Usher was starting out, who would he have DM’d? Usher responded, “Anybody that I wanted to collaborate with that was an artist, creative people who were doing things similar to what I wanted to accomplish because collaboration is so important.”

That openness to new voices isn’t just theoretical. Usher’s kids are literally updating his playlists. Naviyd recently introduced him to British pop star PinkPantheress, even DM’ing the artist from his father’s account before the two showed up to a sold-out PinkPantheress gig together.

Usher is not retrofitting himself to stay relevant; he’s inviting it in, leaning on his sons not just for jokes but for cultural currency.
