Usher's son, Usher Raymond V, is hospitalized after a scary pool incident where the 5-year-old boy was almost drowned. The young kid got his arms stuck in the pool drain underwater when trying to retrieve his toy.

Two men working in the house rushed out to help when the boy's aunt and a family maid were unable to free the kid's arm from the drain. One of the male workers performed CPR while waiting for paramedics to arrive.

Usher Jr. is currently staying at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite. He is "conscious, alert and breathing." His famous father rushed to the hospital to be by his side and so did the mother Tameka Foster.

The scary pool accident came just a year after Usher's stepson Kile Glover, the son of Usher's former wife Tameka, suffered fatal brain injuries after being struck by a jet ski while riding in an inner tube pulled by a pontoon boat on Lake Lanier. He was 11.
