Usher: 'I've Got an Incredible Treat' for the AMAs

November 19, 2010 Awards Shows

Hip Hop and R&B sensation Usher spoke with "Extra" backstage at his sold-out gig at the Staples Center in L.A. on Thursday -- where he dished on everything from his kids, to what audiences can expect from him at Sunday's American Music Awards.

Nominated for three AMAs, the singer said he's really looking forward to the event. "You guys are gonna love the show," he gushed. "I'm telling you, I've got an incredible treat for you."

Currently on tour, Usher has his two boys traveling the world with him; Usher V, who turns 3 on Nov. 26, and Naviyd Ely, who will be 2 on Dec. 10.

"They have their own play area backstage," the "OMG" singer said about having his boys on tour. "The ultimate inspiration and motivation is to know what I'm doing is for my kids. There are times in the show where it might get a little racy and they have to go in the back."

Find out when Usher is coming to a city near you here, and catch his performance on the American Music Awards, Sunday at 8:00 PM PST on ABC.
