Graduation season has been busy for Usher.

Over the weekend, the 8-time Grammy winner and father of four recapped the graduations of his oldest child, Cinco, 18 and youngest children, daughter Sovereign, 5, and son Sire, 4. Usher shares his Sovereign and Sire with his wife, Jennifer Raymond, while Cinco and his second-oldest son, Nayvid, 17, are shared with the singer’s ex-wife, Tameka Foster.

In an Instagram carousel, Usher posted reels and photos of Cinco graduating from high school, Sovereign graduating from kindergarten and Sovereign graduating from pre-K. Usher’s mother and former manager, Jonnetta Patton, makes a cameo in the post, along with Nayvid and Foster.

“Graduation week for 3 of my beautiful kids Cinco, Sove and Sire ❤️ Time flies man,” Usher captioned the post.

The family spent quality time together before the Coming Home singer hits the road with Chris Brown for The R&B Tour. The 33-date trek begins June 26 in Denver, Colorado before hitting Detroit, Washington, D.C., Nashville, Chicago and other cities before concluding December 12 in Tampa, Florida.

Last December, Usher showcased his fatherhood duties while riding with his oldest sons for the inaugural installment of Instagram’s Carversations. The singer made a ‘67’ joke that was clowned by Cinco and Nayvid, while the family discussed topics related to the social media app.
