Aside from recording, Usher has ventured into business. He has established his own record label, US Records, and is a part owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise. He has also dabbled in acting, with a recurring role on the teen sitcom Moesha, and roles in the films The Faculty (1998, with Josh Harnett) She's All That (1999, with Freddie Prinze, Jr.) and Texas Rangers (2001, with Ashton Kutcher).

The song "Cutter Off" by Usher is an expression of his desire to end a relationship with a woman who is constantly confronting him about his whereabouts and who appears to be insecure and dramatic.

The phrase "cutter off" is repeated throughout the song, indicating that Usher is serious about ending this relationship. He recognizes that the woman he's been seeing has been damaged in the past and has issues with trust and insecurity, but their relationship is no longer fulfilling to him; he feels constrained and monitored. He believes that it's time to cut her off and move on from the relationship.
The song's lyrics highlight the difficulties that can arise when partners engage in controlling or possessive behavior, suggesting that such behavior is unhealthy and may ultimately lead to the end of the relationship.
