Usher Son Cinco Howard University now lands in the same sentence for a reason: Usher’s oldest son, Usher “Cinco” Raymond V, has graduated from high school and is headed to Howard University in Washington, D.C. Usher marked the moment on social media with a proud message, and Cinco has already updated his bio to reflect Howard’s Class of 2030.

Usher wrote, “So proud of my son! U did this. U made this happen. Now it’s your time to show em who U are,” a message that turns a family milestone into a public handoff. The line fits the moment cleanly: Cinco is 18, old enough to make the leap from high school to college, and old enough for the transition to start carrying its own public weight.
Howard University is getting another high-profile student, and Cinco joins that incoming class with a surname that already carries visibility. For the university, Howard’s Class of 2030 gains a freshman whose move has already been mapped out on social media before the first day of school.

Cinco is Usher’s oldest of four children, and he is the son Usher shares with Tameka Foster. Usher and Tameka Foster also share Naviyd, while Usher and Jenn Goicoechea have Sovereign and Sire. The family detail matters here because the college move is not just a celebrity note; it marks the point where the eldest child is stepping into an entirely new chapter under his own name.
The timing also puts Cinco alongside a growing list of celebrity children choosing HBCUs, a pattern that has already shown up this year with 2 Chainz and Heaven Epps. Heaven Epps graduated high school with a 4.0 GPA and is headed to Howard, planning to study criminology, while Kesha Ward attended Alabama State University and 2 Chainz attended Alabama State before transferring to Virginia State University.

The missing piece is the one readers will keep asking about: which high school he finished, and exactly when the graduation celebration took place. Even without that detail, the direction is clear — Cinco has closed one school chapter, updated his public profile to match the next one, and moved Howard University into the center of his immediate future.
