LIKE MOTHER, LIKE SON

Austin went on to say that learning anything requires a person to be open to receive knowledge. He also encouraged his fans to keep evolving.

"Keep growing, my people, continue to evolve until you’re the best you can be. Forever a work in progress."

Austin, who graduated college in 2018, walked on his mother's footsteps to become a music artist. Thomas, who is a part of music's best-selling girl groups, supports her son's musical career with all her heart.

Austin is the only son born out of Thomas' relationship with singer Usher.

In an interview with "FOX 5 Atlanta," the 23-year-old shared that he felt like he needed to make a name for himself after he joined college and also talked about kickstarting his career with his mom's guidance.

"She can help guide me, you know, she can help to make sure that my path is nice and clear."

USHER AND CHILLI'S PAST

Echoing in her son's words, Thomas agreed that she wanted her son to have a career in the music industry and shared that she was proud of his work.

The singer is so supportive of her son that she has even danced in one of his videos. To Thomas, her son is her top priority and no matter how busy her life got, she always had the time to take care of him.

Austin is the only son born out of Thomas' relationship with singer Usher. She and the singer broke up in 2003 after he reportedly cheated on her.

Even though they parted ways, Thomas later shared that he was her one real love and that she will always love him regardless of their tumultuous past.
