Justin Bieber says Usher and Carly Rae Jepsen are like "family"

Justin Bieber has spoken of his love for music buddies Usher and Carly Rae Jepsen, saying that they are part of a "family".

Usher has been acting as a mentor for Bieber over recent years, whilst Bieber has also been looking after rising star Carly Rae Jepsen.

They all performed last night (May 20) at the Billboard Music Awards, and Bieber told MTV that there is no rivalry in the trio - just "love". He said:

"Not a competition. It's all love. We're all a family. Carly is my artist, and I'm Usher's artist, so it's kind of cool that we're all performing here, together."

As previously reported, Bieber did his good deed for the day yesterday at the awards ceremony by inviting a fan to join him at the show.

He had previously been forced to turn down an invite to join to her at her prom after she mounted a year long campaign - so he decided to invite her to the Billboard awards to make up for it.
