The "Yeah" singer is saying hell no when it comes to selling pictures of his baby son.

"In no way would I ever pimp out my child for money," Usher tells the New York Post about rumors he was trying to go the fast-cash route à la Brangelina, J.Lo, Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie.

And just to prove the little tyke isn't helping line his wallet, the R&B star posed for free with his offspring for an Essence magazine Father's Day cover.

"I am livid that people talk about my child," adds the proud papa. "What makes you a man more than being a father to your child?"

You tell 'em, Usher.

Of course, we'll just overlook all the free publicity the magazine shoot will generate to promote your upcoming album. That makes your outrage sound sooo much better.
