As the custody battle between Usher Raymond and his ex-wife Tameka Foster Glover Raymond continues the accusations and threats are getting worse and worse.
The couple still hasn’t been able to come to an amicable agreement surrounding the custody of their two young songs and while most of you people are on #TeamUsher in this situation, I’m starting to believe that it’s Usher and not Tameka that is trying to exert his man power.
Don’t get it twisted tho… I’m strictly #TeamATLien so clearly all of this is Straight From The A ie MY opinion but this whole situation is starting to smell real BITCHY right now!
Details…I did some digging and found the court documents while I’m NOT going to put all of their business in the streets, it’s become blatantly clear that Mr. Raymond is the man scorned and not vice versa.
Exhibit A – While it was originally speculated that Tameka started the battle to get more money and because Usher had canceled her Sak’s discount card, it appears that it was actually Usher who started the battle to take the kids away.
According to Fulton County court documents, Usher filed for full custody of the kids on January 4, 2011…
My sources say that Usher and Tameka were still kickin’ it even after the divorce was finalized. Tameka appeared to be the scorned spouse only because Usher was still dippin his stick in the Mommy pool before, during and after the divorce.
Word on the curb is that once Tameka started seeing photos of Usher parlaying with Grace all over the net (which started when she was pregnant with Naviyd), she hit the roof while he swore to her all along his relationship with the (then) married Def Jam exec was strictly business.
I don’t know any woman in the world who WOULDN’T have felt some kinda way during that time, especially considering the fact that she’d already found out that her husband had chopped down one of the bridesmaids at the wedding.
Just before the trial concluded on Friday, Attorney Lisa West called to the stand Marriage Therapist Sola Winley who gave direct testimony as to why he believed Tameka Raymond was under a great deal of stress. One of the things that stood out in his testimony was the fact that Tameka told him that Usher had slept with two of her bridesmaids.
This revelation apparently didn’t go over well with Usher as he stormed out the courtroom during a recess mumbling the words, “Now I am sleeping with her bridesmaids?” (source)
And now… since Usher and Grace have finally revealed they have been a couple all along, I almost feel bad for Tameka. Almost.
Anyway… I say all of that to say that it seems that Usher is on some ol’ “world domination” type ish and wants to take over the world musically. In doing so, he wants his boys by his side when he moves to Germany… Italy… France (or wherever he decides).
Not to say that it’s a bad thing for a father to want his kids by his side… ideally it’s great! But… considering that they have (half) siblings and a mother who clearly loves them, it does seems a bit selfish.
On the other hand, shouldn’t Usher’s sons have the best life that their father can provide?
And if that means taking them away from their mom and (half) brothers to travel around the world every day of the year with their pops and his new girlfriend, so be it then. Right?
We all know Usher can afford tutors, nanny’s… hell, he can even buy them some lil playmates, especially in those 3rd world countries where lots of children are sold everyday. But I digress…
My point of this entire rant is that those kids need BOTH their mother and their father. Especially since they are both alive and well and relatively sane.
If Usher wants the kids… maybe Tameka should let him have them. But in doing so, Usher should make sure she has a home where ever they have one. Italy… Rome… France. Point… blank… period.
As far as all those rumors that Usher is going to put Tameka out of the house…I’ve heard that before…
[READ: I Heard: Tameka Foster Glover Raymond May Be Homeless Soon!]
That was 2 years ago and guess what? She’s still there.
Usher and Tameka have about one more week to get things together before the judge decides to rule on their behalf. I hope and pray they both make the right decision…for the sake of the kids (AND their sanity).
To be continued.

This revelation apparently didn’t go over well with Usher as he stormed out the courtroom during a recess mumbling the words, “Now I am sleeping with her bridesmaids?” (
















Well … this may explains why Tameka acts bit unstable (IMO).. we dont know how much Usher has put her through… But both parties may have done dirt throughout the relationship. Honestly, IMO I think Usher’s mom should disappear with the boys until all this is settled LOL!… poor babies do not need to be experiencing so much crap between their parents.
I heard additional things and if what the nannies say is true then it is Usher the children should be with…I believe Tameka still wants her lifestyle and she is a fool to have still slept with a man who divorced her for his image in order to keep the perks..i’m over it
My Goodness Usher u can’t keep ur D**k in ur pants for shit…(the bridesmaids really?? how fucking low usher, Grace), He doesn’t need to be in a relationship at all stay single instead of breaking these women hearts..I know Chilli is on Cloud 9 knowing that declining his proposal was her best decision ever..becuz he would’ve humilated her even worst they are both public figures..Cuddles to u Chilli for not taking his cheating ass back. I use to dislike tameka (kinda still do) but Usher is showing his true self right now. Why fight to take those kids(when y’all have joint custody) from there mother (wtf) are u serious how could Tameka not go insane. Poor Grace thinks she has it good..maybe for now Karma is a Bish..What goes around always comes back at ur ass even worst…smdh
People are so ridiculous. If you are married to a man and bear his children then he should provide for you and the kids, if he’s financially capable. There is no reason why he shouldn’t. Women who don’t get that really sell themselves short. I’m glad that she doesn’t.
And I’m very suspect of parents who seeks sole custody in situations where the kids have a loving relationship with both parents. Usually money or personal issues are the motivating factor and neither of these issues have anything to do with what is in the kids’ best interest.
Good luck to them. Hopefully sane heads will prevail
It’s like ever since the drama he created around Confessions album happened. Every freaking album after he creates some kind of Crazy Media circus around his life. Starting to think he’s Gay. Don’t know to many real grown men who acts like a fucking Drama Queen unless hey was HEYYYYYYYYYYYY smh
I don’t think Usher initiating the court proceedings is equivalent to him being a man scorned. It just meant he now wants full custody of his sons and strategically it was a smarter move if HE initiated the request. Blame Tameka attorney’s for dropping that ball not Usher, she could have filled first as well.
And if she “felt some kind of way” about him sleeping with another woman oh well she knew what was up when she got involved with Usher. It doesn’t make it right but she got him by cheating around and it ended the same way. Why is this a shocker ?
I don’t feel sorry for Tameka trifling behind she knew what she was getting into when her trifling behind went after him. I feel sorry for her children if anything. Jesus be a fence to the judge over this case.
#teamkids…they are both acting like losers
I feel he should be allowed to take care of his KIDS… and HIS KIDS ONLY, not FORCED…. then again BET he wishing he would have just married Chilli instead of acting an ass cause she wanted a commitment. DUMMY!
I think if Usher and Chilli were to unite again, they wouldn’t last a year. Too much baggage.
Usher already provides well for those kids…that’s his only obligation. She doesn’t have to live in that house to provide a safe environment for the boys…and he’s the father of only 2. THEY are his responsibility. Did he fuck the bridesmaids? Don’t put it past a Libra, but based on his reaction it doesn’t seem like it. Only time will tell, but if he did he’s an asshole. I think what drove his desire to pursue full custody was the ability to come and go as he pleases without clearing it with Tameka or the courts. Yeah, that’s kind of selfish. They made the kids together, they should share custody. If he doesn’t care for her skills, oh well…he picked her.
Team kids.
Well if Usher slept with her bridesmaid and cheated with this granola chick, then I understand her being scorned. Why is he still writing songs about her though????? Climax is clearly about her, because its about a past relationship, not his current manager/girlfriend Grace.
Funny, it was being said that Tameka was doing EXACTLY what Grace Miguel has done. Took over and fired his momma. Smh, I think tameka was doing his fashion only but this lady Grace is really managing him and doing Billboard interviews. Oh well, later for Usher, no one caresss zzzzz. His style and hair is too far left for me, I dont like it or get it. He just isnt sexy anymore. Putting her out is another fail in my book, I hope thats not true.
Clears throat ummm wasn’t she still married to her first husband when she was messing with usher? Separated is still married point blank period. I don’t know why people act like how they got with they spouse especially if you got at someone when you had unfinished business isn’t relevant. She brought all this hell onto herself she thought that she would have it made on easy street. She should have known something wasn’t clean in the pudding when the wedding got postponed that was an indication of things to come. She ran off and left her other kids with the first husband right, but I guess she fighting this hard for her 2nd set cause that child support money would be lovely right smh plus the fame of being Usher’s ex-wife babymomma is a hellva of a title do I see a reality show in her future perhaps. SMH
Mmm hmmmm. His mama tried to warn him about that gold diggin woman!!
So why would a father who travels all over the world most weeks out of the year want to drag his sons everywhere he goes? Children need stability and its hard to be stable when your sleeping in hotel rooms all over the world. If your husband was a traveling nurse or a lawyer would he be dragging the children on his trips? Nah those boys belong with their mother most of the time. She’s not traveling most days out of the year. Usher is weak period. How do you let the public influence who YOU choose to marry? He went against his fans, his own mama to be with this woman and all of a sudden she’s this monster? Nah I think not. He’s a man consumed with image and seems to be all about himself.
Tameka Foster Glover Raymond???? I think its time to drop the marriage names & go back to her maiden name!
Everyone knows its about money. He swants th ekids so he will not have to pay child support. That’s all. Unless he has something really dope on her, they will be granted shared custody, which may or may not be cool. simple math. MONEY Honey. and she had wo kids with him. What was he thinking he sure wasn’t thinking about his pock e book. Cause one in one thing, but two big daddy,that meansou stupid or something especially since you obviously knew she wasn’t a keeper. I swear Men ae so dumb like that.
She is one ugly, bitter ass bitch. A and should take care of his kids, and only his kids. She stay making sure she gets seen with HIS kids, and not the other ones, why is that?
I agree! After reading more about their relationship I totally understand why Tameka may have behaved the way she has. I’ve been in a relationship with an unfaithful man, and it’s enough to drive you crazy. I feel bad for her, because I could not imagine having to fight for my children! In the public eye, nonetheless. Sad situation all around, and it’s terrible that these boys will eventually grow older and find out all these nasty little details about their parents that should be private.
Yes, I’ve been on the receiving end of a cheater as well. Horrible feeling. And if that’s true about the bridesmaids, karma is a bitch and Usher will get his. Have you noticed he hasn’t dated a high-profiled woman-other than Naobi Campbell-since Chilli? I think it’s because his ego couldn’t handle it, a woman just as/more successful than he. I don’t think Tameka is over this man AT ALL. It’s apparent he’s VERY MUCH over her. Regardless, those kids don’t need to trot all around the world. Share custody, and leave the kids at home while touring. Why is that so hard?
I don’t think either of them should have full custody. Just not right.
this article sounds like #teamkissass. because he filed for custody of his kids he’s scorned? How about maybe he knows something we dont know after all he is the one that filed for divorce. 11 nannies in how many months…you leave one of your children in the car with the nanny because you didnt have enough tickets for a NBA basketball game. who the hell does that? i bet he kicking himself for not listening to his mother.
Everybody warned him about Tameka. His mother, his fans and even his own intuition..BUT, he wanted to prove to the world that his marriage was solid and that he was in love. Lies, lies, and more lies.
When Tameka went overseas to have plastic surgery behind his back; leaving 5 children with whomever and almost died…I think that was his breaking point with her.
That’s the mark of a foolish woman.
*He should only take care of his kids, and his kids only. Bitches kill trying to come up on the next "meal ticket", get your own ends bitch.
I think she should let the childen travel with their father for extensive periods. But that could be 3 months traveling 3 months home and yes Tameka should have a home and the one in atl should suffice. They are both a mess, and I can see this world domination mannish Ursh, probably been like this in some ways for a while, but i think he’s probably a decent father and I think the world education would be priceless. As long as he ain’t just out partying and whoopin it up every night it’s probably a good thing, if I were a mother, I’d probably sign off on that
Both of them need to "charge it to the game". They both know what they were getting when they got it, now they dont want it. A blessing to all other parties that were involved in this bs and were smart enough to get out when they did. KEEP IT MOVIN’ FOLKS, AINT NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!
They weren’t married long enough for all of this drama; this mess about leaving her homeless is simply ridiculous…. I would never put myself in the position where my ex husband or wife has the deed to the home where I live, with or without children. Take the support and the money that both of you are spending on lawyers and get out of that house for your own peace
She aint giving up those checks/children just like she never giving his name back. How you wanna divorce me but run around town using my name to get hookup and reservations. Do you know she gets really mad if you call her Foster and not Raymond? Puhleeze
I’ll call that manly faced h0 FOSTER all day, she is not a Raymond anymore, and barely was when they were married. Usher was running through chicks throughout that relationship. Tranmeka is a damn mess. She is a nasty piece of work. Usher isn’t a saint by any means, but I KNOW he’s learned a valuable lesson in this. Grace ain’t this bad which is why they’re still going strong. Say what you will about her, but she plays her position and plays it well and Tranmeka can’t stand it. She hates on her ridiculously because she has Ursh wide open and she’s his woman now. Not to mention she’s been around his kids and vice versa. Tranmeka will stay losing, with her dog faced ass.
Well if Tameka is so bad why did he marry her and have two kids with her??? He even cancelled a wedding and married her soon after. I dont think his new "filler" will ever see a wedding, a baby, a real commitment from Usher. Well except a management agreement.
Tameka is pretty and you know it, but I understand your frustration because she’s living the life you likely aspire to have. Hate all you want but Meka’s got it going on famous ex husband, beautiful kids, money in the bank, and a mansion to even fight about. You got your issues fucked up, talking about her looks… Im sure you look like someones heel with a half of person in fat to lose. Thats usually the jealous hoez description. Anywho, Usher is a punk to drag his ex wife through the mud for album sales or to make that old, plain wench proud. She’s ratchet to me, but Im sure his fans will defend her, taking his mothers JOB and firing his whole staff of 20 years. Dummies. ROTFLMAO
Tameka needs to face the fact that the marriage is over. Move on get on with your life ,you are a great stylist, go back to doing what you do best. Usher doesn’t have to provide a place, for you to live anymore. He is paying 42,000.00 a year, for her to live in that mansion, along with child support.The divorce has been over along time ago, why is she bringing up all this stuff now. I just hope the both of them can get it together, for the sake of the boys.
Tameka, I didn’t know your middle name was Camisha lol.
I agree with whomever said Grace is playing her position well. She is staying out of the limelight. Which pisses me off. I’d love some dirt on her.
Also agree with whomever said Usher is a big ho. The only thing he’ll probably ever know about faithfulness is how to spell it.
Damn Urrrsher! Let the woman keep her babies!
Judge "Bensonetta" ain’t got time for this phuckery. Seriously, I’ve heard Usher is not that savvy of a businessman & seems to suffer from an attachment parenting disorder. Which explains his need to allow older women to influence him.
Lol at Tameka posting! Girl bye! Usher married you because you were pregnant. That is the only reason and to those close to him, he’s admitted that. Your ugly ass will stay mad. I’d be mad too if I was 40+ with two faiiled marriages, a worn down puss and uterus and 5 kids. Not to mention aging horribly, which is something black women aren’t supposed to do. You are a sad, sad case. I know Grace is somewhere laughing. I love all the pics she has of HER MAN Ush on her instagram. Stay mad ho.
"According to Fulton County court documents, Usher filed for full custody of the kids on January 4, 2011…"
@Atlien – The above may not be true. Usually whoever filed for divorce (in this case Usher) will always be the Plaintiff in all matters stemming from it. In this case, custody modification.
For example, my husband (who is divorced) filed for divorce from his ex-wife. They have a child that he has physical custody of. Whenever the ex-wife files anything new relating to custody, visitation, etc., my husband is still known as the Plaintiff in all of the court documents.
[...] is currently involved in an ongoing custody battle with his ex-wife Tameka Foster Raymond over their two young sons, but it seems that in light of his [...]
