Usher referred to her as the queen of the "Ushbucks," and added that he had not been getting much sleep because of the iHeart Radio Music Awards but was enjoying the late nights with his daughter.
He also opened about the inspiration behind his daughter's name. He admitted "Sovereign" is a beautiful word defined as a supreme ruler. He concluded:
"She's definitely ruling the household, but Sovereign Bo Ray — Bo is at the end of it, so she's my little reign-bo."
Usher is known for turning out great hits that leave his fans gushing and delighted, but his adorable daughter leaves him with those exact feelings.
