Rap-Up.com || Q&A: Trey Songz Talks Usher ‘OMG Tour’

Ladies get ready. Fresh off his headlining tour with Monica, Trey Songz is gearing up to hit the road with fellow R&B lothario Usher on his “OMG Tour” beginning November 10 at Seattle’s KeyArena. Before he took the stage at last week’s “So Kodak” concert with Drake, Rap-Up.com captured a few moments with the “Bottoms Up” singer, who told us how the pairing came about and which of his tourmate’s tunes stay on repeat.

How did you link up with Usher?
Well, Usher and I first started collaborating work-wise on the “I Invented Sex (Remix),” but we’ve known each other for a while and he’s always been someone I could come to for advice. Furthermore, he’s paved the way for guys like myself to even do what we do. So to go on tour with Usher, who’s now at iconic status—I believe—and for me to be involved and to know that I mean something to the tour is an amazing feeling.

What kind of influence has he had on your career?
Well Usher was one of the first young sex symbol kind of artists of my generation. It’s because of guys like him that I’m even able to do this.

What are your favorite Usher songs?
“Nice & Slow,” some of the earlier Usher stuff, “You Make Me Wanna…” and “Burn.” He’s had hit after hit after hit after hit.

How is this going to be different from your last tour?
You’re going from theaters to arenas and you’ve got me sharing the crowd with Usher. Different things go into the mind when preparing for the show.

I’m sure the audience will be packed with ladies…
Yeah. Ladies galore [laughs].

Lots of panties onstage…
That’s what we aim for. Woo!

Wow! Trey and I have another thing in common, we both like the same songs from Usher. Wow! What else do we have in common, hubby, I mean, we are from the same state, give a shout out to the VA`s out there 804 for life. Oh yeah, I never wrote this but I have a relative name Alex, he`s my cousin on my dad`s side. Actually when I was growing up I used to call him my ” little brother”, my grandmother`s name is Ann, but she goes by her middle name, what else do we have in common, your father wasn`t in your life and my father hasn`t been in my life since I was twelve, now I`m twenty-two. Well, I hope that you have a safe tour and get back to the states safe, read that Usher has more tour dates. so the both of you, have a safe tour! Love Ya! Your Wifey!
