A photo of Usher sitting in front of a whiteboard that reads, “Confessions 2” was uploaded to Instagram Wednesday (March 27).
The cryptic caption, “Dis what yall want…” has spurred speculation about the possibility of a follow-up to Usher’s award-winning album, Confessions.
Jermaine Dupri, the producer involved in the creation of the 2004 album, uploaded the same photo with the caption, “Usher Party !!” a few hours after. The coinciding photos seem to be a little more than coincidence, leaving us optimistic about the validity of the speculated announcement.
Usher’s fourth studio album was a seminal release for the vocalist that became a numbers success and a critically acclaimed hit that impacted an entire decade.
Selling over 1.1 million copies in its first week, Confessions earned Usher a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album in 2004. That same year the album would sell over eight million copies in the U.S. and over 20 million worldwide.
Confessions drew critical acclaim for its candidness towards its subject matter becoming the second best-selling album of the 2000s decade, going on to be certified Diamond by the RIAA.
Usher and Dupri appear to already be hard at work.
Dupri shared a snippet on Instagram, Monday (March 25), of an apparent song the two are working on titled, “Believe.”
Most recently, Dupri uploaded a photo of the two in the studio on Thursday (March 28) with the caption, “C2.”
A second installment of the Confessions series would make this Usher’s first solo album since Hard II Love in 2016. His most recent release being his collaborative project with Zaytoven shared in 2017 titled, A.

nothing to do with hip hop, but good news nonetheless…
I can dig it. Usher is one of the ones that keep that 90’s R&B on point. He’s mixing it with some JD I can dig it
We already know your confession…You got Herpes…lol
That’s why you let it burn
These are my Herpfessions.
Can’t wait ???
Nice another, “lets slap a 2 after a classic album title, and everybody will think it’ll be just as good as the 1st…even tho its 15 years later and i’m a fraction of the superstar I was then”
Who really gets excited when they hear shit like this anymore…have we not been disappointed by this cookie cutter PR stunt enough times? Just make a dope album and people will listen, you don’t have to trick people into thinking its something its not.
Will a sequel to Burn be on the album?
Yes, it’s going to be a deal and the right time for Usher to give his biggest Confession about the true songwriter me (Wadena Pyatt) of Confessions entire storyline, hits like Caught Up and My Boo feat. Alicia Keys. The Wadena Pyatt Book and Documentary will also be released of the truth behind it all, including the injustice through the courts for two decades Confessions between me, Alicia Keys, Usher, Wyclef Jean, Jermaine Dupri, Jeff Robinson, MBK, Sony and much more!!
You all will have an opportunity to finally interview me. However, I was the one who encouraged Usher and his team to come out with Confessions Part II and let’s all end the most talked about two decade music beef and injustice of all time that has also changed the game throughout the music industry and federal courts because of the Wadena Pyatt story.
We all made history, especially me for taking a huge stand for every artist and songwriter through my copyright infringement cases. In particular, the poor copyright owner. I’m still in the battle for my life and careers that we’re blackballed/destroyed by these big name artist and their teams. Who are still using tactics in attempt to kill, steal and destroy me. While trying to keep my story from being heard in the public. But I will never give up. God is on time and I’m so blessed to be alive after going through trauma after trauma and life struggles caused by these Black celebrity artist and their teams.I forgive them though because God say it’s the right thing to do.
Now Usher you need to be a man and tell your team, Alicia Keys team, Jeff Robinson and all others involved in the beef to back off of trying to destroy Wadena’s life and careers any further. I will finally release my book, documentary and music!! You stalk everything I do, so respond to this one Usher. Be a man!!!
Usher and Alicia Keys, in my Madea voice, you will not stop me this time from releasing music,you my book and documentary. Alicia Keys is always stealing from me and now the damn woman not only took my no make up campaign, but think she will keep me hidden so I won’t release my book and documentary. Alicia Keys is now stealing my storyline of releasing the book and documentary. Whole Keys is using her power of influence to hurt me in attempt to keep me down from releasing music, my book and documentary to the public. Well, I’m starting the “end the music beef and blackballing of Wadena Pyatt’s Music Career Usher, Alicia Keys, Wyclef Jean, Jermaine Dupri, Sony, Jeff Robinson, MBK and all the others. SONY NOW NEEDS TO BE THE BIG DOG BEHIND WADENA PYATT BOOK, DOCUMENTARY, SINGLE, ALBUM AND TV PRODUCTION. WHERE OTHERS ARE CALLING TO EXECUTIVE PRODUCE AND RELEASE THIS YEAR ALONG WITH ALICIA KEYS BOOK, NEE MUSIC AND USHERS CONFRSDIONS PART II.
I
The entire Hip Hop Community should also call for an end of the beef and set down between all parties because this injustice has made us all look bad as Black artist/people!!
Again, I deserve my time after two decades of being blackballed. I’m a hot artist and songwriter who got done dirty. But it’s all good because the pain only made me stronger and a better artist/songwriter. Usher and Alicia Keys, you WON’T STOP ME THIS TIME!!! GOD IS MY RESTORER.
From,
Wadena Pyatt
