Usher Ramond IV and V graced the cover of Essence Magazine’s August 2008 issue.  In this issue as in all the others Usher talks about fatherhood and addresses the rumors about his wife. Blah…Blah..Blah… what’s more interesting is that recently he has blamed is manager, Benny Medina, for the failure of his album, “Here I Stand.”  Rumor has it that he also wants to re-hire his mother, Jonetta Patton, as his manager since he has realized she was key to his success. Usher ended his 15-year professional relationship with his mom and her JPat Record Label just days before Mother’s Day last year.  In July, he told Vibe magazine, “(I paid my mother) the ultimate compliment – to retire her to be a full-time grandmother.”  (Source)
