Usher: I'll Take The Bank's Money

Posted Feb 26th 2009 7:50AM by TMZ Staff

Usher is one person who isn't afraid to admit he'll take money from our busted banking system -- as long as the cash flow goes to his non-profit organization.

Usher -- who was fresh from testifying to Congress about volunteer work -- left his pop persona far behind, instead speaking to us as "Usher Raymond IV" about his New Look organization.

How do we know he was being sincere? Dude wouldn't even plug his own album when we asked.

3. I think that's awesome that he would rather help others out, rather than himself! Good for him! I hope he does get some money towards his organization.

6. yeah - I think he is such a nice guy. And are there other rich and famous people who have non-profit foundations that are actually doing work for their non-profits?
