Usher was allegedly embroiled in a million dollar lawsuit after he allegedly gave a woman genital herpes.

The singer, whose real name is Usher Raymond IV, paid out $1.1 million (£846,560) to the celebrity stylist after he allegedly gave her the STD, according to court documents obtained by Radar Online .

There's no cure for the infection and the complainant states that the singer didn't tell her about his previous diagnosis before having unprotected sex in 2012.

According to the court documents, the 38-year-old U Got It Bad singer was diagnosed with herpes between 2009-10.

A "greenish discharge" was said to have once oozed from the performer’s penis, but he otherwise had no signs of the virus and was labeled an "asymptomatic carrier" by doctors.

After initially admitting his concerns to his partner Usher then allegedly convinced her that he was all clear - and they continued to engage in unprotected sex.

"Believing Raymond’s statements that it had been nothing and cleared up, [she] continued her relationship," a lawyer for the victim wrote in a legal complaint for damages.

Three weeks later, the victim was "feeling very sick" and woke up with a "fever of 100 degrees, chills, headache, and aches and pains."

She "also developed lesions and blisters in her vagina" and was diagnosed with herpes.

The court documents claim that after the unnamed woman realised she had the virus, Usher was "very apologetic and promised to figure things out".

The documents also feature a cheque for the amount of $2,754 (£2118.95) to pay for the woman’s medical expenses - dated April 23, 2012.

The lawsuit accuses Usher of "consciously and purposefully" withholding his herpes diagnosis from the stylist and continuing to have unprotected sex with her.

The lawsuit dates back to 2012 and was settled for $1.1m at the time.
