Yeah we did! And I can't believe it took you ten years to clear up that misconception! We broke up because I guess it was that time or whatever. If Usher was going to tell, he was going to tell it all (he damn near cried when he got the phone call!) and we all thought the song detailed just how he revealed to poor, innocent, beautifully be-abbed Chilli that he'd done something wrong.Ĭhilli went on: People assumed that album was about us, but it was not. We all thought that the 'chick on the side' who had 'one on the way' was a mistress Usher had knocked up while he was dating Chilli. I think I can speak for an entire generation here and say that this changes everything. But people kind of bought into it, it was just the timing of our breakup when the album came out. All of those songs on Confessions, that was about Jermaine Dupri's situation.

In fact, it wasn't personal to Usher or Chilli at all - the 2004 hit song 'Confessions Part II' off the album was about a friend of theirs.Ĭhilli told the magazine: We were together when he recorded that album. In an interview with Us Weekly, Chilli says Usher never cheated on her and that Confessions wasn't about their breakup. Now, ten years later, we're discovering that everything we've held near and dear to our hearts has been a lie. There are two truths I think we all hold to be self-evident: all men are created equal, and Usher cheated on TLC's Chilli then wrote his album Confessions about it.
