Usher has had a busy graduation season.
The singer took to his Instagram on Saturday to share snapshots from graduation ceremonies for oldest son Usher Raymond V, better known as Cinco, along with daughter Sovereign Bo and son Sire Castrello.
The post included clips from Cinco’s high school graduation, along with moments from Sire and Sovereign’s school celebrations. In one photo, Usher posed with his only daughter, while another showed Cinco at graduation alongside Usher’s mother, Jonetta Patton.
“Graduation week for 3 of my beautiful kids Cinco, Sove and Sire. Time flies man,” Usher captioned.
For Cinco, the milestone carries extra significance. The teenager recently graduated from Galloway High School and celebrated the occasion with family and friends during a pre-graduation gathering attended by both Usher and mom Tameka Foster.
This fall, Cinco is headed to Howard University.
Usher has previously opened up about why his son prefers to go by “Cinco” instead of Usher Raymond V.
“He goes by Cinco because he doesn’t want to carry the Usher name around all the time,” the singer shared during an interview with LEVEL Man. “It’s like, I’m not my dad. I am who I am.”
Cinco is the oldest of Usher’s four children. The singer also shares son Naviyd Ely Raymond with Tameka Foster and daughter Sovereign Bo and son Sire Castrello with wife Jenn Goicoechea.
Usher opened up about raising children in a blended family during a 2024 interview with LEVEL Man.
“There is no disconnect when it comes to our children,” he said at the time. “They are all brothers and sisters. No steps or halves. And they love each other and protect each other to the best of their abilities.”
Usher also explained how he approaches co-parenting between households.
“My wife is my wife; me and my ex-wife have children together,” he said. “Though we have different homes, I try to implement and do whatever I possibly can in mine and I don’t worry about what I can’t control.”
