This is something you don't see everyday. Walking the streets of West Hollywood, with son, Usher V in tow and Ben Vereen? What's the connection one might ask. And where did he find Ben Vereen? Well The connection is Ben Vereen is Usher's son's GODFATHER. Usher apparently dated Ben Vereen's daughter years ago, and the two still have a bond. This 7 degrees of separation thing is a trip sometimes! My question is Ben, where you been? LOL.
