Usher's five-year-old son was rushed to intensive care on Monday after a serious pool accident.The incident comes just over a year on from the death of the singer's stepson following a jet ski crash.Usher Raymond V is currently being treated in the ICU at an Atlanta, Georgia hospital after his arm got caught in the drain of a pool at the star's home at around 6pm in the evening.
After a maid also rushed to the scene and further could not help, she screamed for help.
It was then that two men working in the house were said to have rushed out and also dove into the pool, finally freeing the boy's arm from the drain.Usher Raymond V was then reportedly given CPR and rushed to hospital.
His famous father was not home at the time of the incident, but as soon as he was notified, was said to have promptly rushed to his Atlanta property.
He rode in the ambulance with his son and was later joined at the hospital by Usher Raymond V's mother, Tameka Raymond.
The little boy's state is currently described as 'OK' and doctors are reportedly running tests on the little boy.
Meanwhile, the frantic 911 call which Usher's aunt placed to emergency services has now been released .During the call, Rena can be heard hysterically begging the operator for an ambulance.
'My nephew was in the pool. He went and I couldn't get him. I tried to get him. They did CPR on him,' she is heard saying in the audio.
She is also heard trying to calm Usher's younger brother Naviyd, four, down, all whilst asking the two men doing CPR on little Usher Raymond V, if he was breathing.
She then reports to the dispatcher that the youngster is in fact breathing after the CPR.
'Is he OK?' she asks the men. 'He's breathing', she is then heard telling the operator.
When the ambulance does arrive whilst Rena is on the line, little Naviyd is heard saying that his brother is 'faking it' to which Rena bluntly tells him: 'He is not faking it, come here.'
The terrifying turn of events come after Usher's 11-year-old stepson Kile Glover died over a year ago, two weeks after he was critically injured in a boating accident.Kile passed away from the injuries he obtained after being run over on July 6, 2012 by a personal watercraft on Lake Lanier
The young boy, whose mother is Usher's ex-wife Tameka, was taken off life support by doctors on July 21, who determined that he would not recover from his injuries.
Kile was struck in the head during a jet ski collision while riding an inner tube on the lake in Atlanta, Georgia.
Now Temeka wants custody of the kids.
