These are Usher’s confessions.  In an interview with E! News’ Daily Pop, Usher was quizzed on celebrity relationships and revealed which 90s R&B princess he regrets never dating.

 

“Somebody that I was really good friends with that I wish I would have taken more serious, ’cause she was a really, really close friend of mine for a small amount of time, and then we just kind of disconnected — it was Aaliyah,” Usher admitted.

When he was asked why their relationship never turned romantic, Usher shared, “We were friends, we hung out, we watched movies together … it didn’t go there.  We just didn’t get around to it, we just kinda talked but didn’t do it.”
