NO CHILL Usher Gets Roasted By His Own Son For Being From The ‘Ice Age,’ Asks If He Used To ‘Fly Messages On Birds’ Before Instagram!
Usher was in the middle of trying to drop a little wisdom when his son decided to turn the whole moment into comedy.
The R&B icon was explaining how creativity and connection worked before social media — a time when artists had to rely on imagination, patience, and real-world interaction instead of instant likes, DMs, and viral trends. He spoke about writing, creating, and building relationships without the internet doing half the work for you.
But before he could really land the message, his son jumped in with a ruthless roast.
According to him, Usher didn’t just grow up before Instagram — he grew up during the Ice Age. He joked that his dad sent messages through birds, relied on newspapers instead of social media, and basically lived in prehistoric times compared to today’s digital world. The jokes kept coming, and Usher could only laugh as the generational gap was put on full display.
The clip perfectly captured that classic parent-child dynamic: a dad trying to pass down life lessons, and a kid reminding him that to the younger generation, anything pre-WiFi might as well be ancient history. Fans loved seeing the lighter side of Usher, especially watching him get humbled in real time by his own child.
It was wholesome, funny, and painfully relatable — proof that no matter how legendary you are, your kids will always find a way to roast you. 😭
