Usher is an art collector. In an interview with "Vulture" he said: "It's significant to where you are in your life," explaining his turn to art collecting. "As you get older and have children, your reflections on what matters begin to change." Raymond said: "I started slowing it down," he went on, "enjoying the places I went, going to museums, understanding the nature of what artists were trying to say." Raymond is good friends with graffiti and street-style-inspired artist RETNA, who did the cover art for Justin Bieber's studio album "Purpose", as well as contemporary American artist Daniel Arsham, who directed his music video "Chains" and did the cover art for his singles "No Limit" and "Crash".
