NEW DELHI: Seems like Usher won’t let his herpes scandal come in the way of his music career as it has been revealed that he's working on his new album with Jermaine Dupri.

Dupri took to his Instagram page to let fans know that they’re back in the business. Sharing a video of the duo walking, the hip-hop artists captioned it as, “To the studio we go.”

The 38-year-old singer is reportedly in a Los Angeles studio, recording for a new album that is produced by Jermaine. 

Weeks after it was revealed Usher reportedly paid a woman 1.1 million dollars in 2012 to settle a lawsuit after she claimed to have contracted herpes from him, three more individuals - two women and a man - sued the ‘Yeah!’ hit-maker, alleging he failed to warn them of his STD diagnosis.

However, Usher has not responded publicly to any of the claims, including his herpes status.
