Usher Gives Advice On Justin Bieber Paternity Suit

Justin Bieber's mentor Usher has weighed in on his paternity drama, telling TMZ it "comes with the territory."

Bieber, 17, is said to have taken a paternity test to prove he did not father 20-year-old Mariah Yeater's child, despite her claims that the pop icon is in fact the father.

Yeater's lawyers are said to be dissatisfied as The National Post quoted one of them as saying, “We are trying to set up a DNA test - to test the mother and the child and to retest Justin Bieber. Because we have to make sure the chain of custody is properly supervised.”

Usher, a multiple Grammy award winning artist, is also said to have advised Bieber to "stay strong" during what has undoubtedly been a difficult time for the teen heart throb, Entertainmentwise.com reports.

The singer also praised Bieber's humanitarian efforts, "Just judging from the determination and the will power of the entire team around Justin, I see a very, very promising [future] for him as a philanthropist."

Bieber has openly denied ever meeting Yeater and when he spoke with Today's Matt Lauer said, "None of it is true."

Yeater, who is said to have given birth to Tristyn Anthony Markhouse Yeater in July, claims to have met Bieber after one of his concerts in California.

In response to Yeater's claims Bieber explained, "I know I'm going to be a target, but I'm never going to be a victim. It's crazy, every night after the show I've gone right from the stage right to my car, so it's crazy some people want to make up such false allegations."

Sources suggest Bieber has become increasingly annoyed by Yeater's claims, even referring to her as a "weasel" during a recent appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman.

Bieber plans to sue Yeater for filing "baseless claims."
