On the heels of Justin Bieber's alleged recent reckless driving incident, his mentor Usher is opening up to Ellen DeGeneres about the teen heartthrob.

The R&B superstar blamed the 17-year-old's recent misbehavior on his young age.

"He'll continue to just mature but you know in this day's age of social media there is no privacy and that kind of trial and elimination period is kind of done in front of a camera," he said.

Justin is currently being investigated by the LAPD after two of his Calabasas neighbors called the police on Sunday night to report his unsafe driving. Biebs allegedly refused to speak to the officers who showed up to his house.

"It's been done in many, many other celebrities are product of it and some come out bad and some come out good," Usher said. "I am hoping for the best. I don't look at as a negative though. I look at it as a teenager. A teenager having to live his life in front of a camera. Imagine if you had to do that as a teenager."

"I can't imagine," Ellen responded.

Usher also confirmed that he will be returning to coach The Voice next season. The singer/TV star is also busy filming the movie Hands of Stone in which he plays boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard. That leaves little time for Biebersitting duties.
