  • Life After Usher: Tameka Raymond Speaks!

    May, 31 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Usher Raymond and his ex-wife Tameka Foster Glover Raymond have been currently battling out their child custody case in the public but it’s not ALL bad between the two parental units.

    Tameka recently did an interview with TheGrio.com where she reveals a bit about her personal past and why all the rumors surrounding her relationship with Usher no longer phase her.

    And no… she’s not male bashing. Surprisingly, even after the recent court revelations about Usher bedding one of Tameka’s bridesmaids, she only had good things to say about her ex!

    Details below…

    Many have wondered why exactly did things fall apart between Usher and Tameka. Especially since they seemed so “ride or die” in the beginning of their tumultuous relationship.

    Tameka says that things began the change right after she became pregnant with Naviyd, their 2nd son:

    “Well, if I had to point to one thing, one time, it would be after the birth of our second son, Naviyd,” Tameka said as she contemplated the demise of her relationship.

    “Until that point, we were a very passionate, very loving couple, but then the pressure of the entertainment industry began to slowly creep in and poison our marriage. There comes a point when as a married man with throngs of adoring female fans, you still have to pretend you’re available, but he wasn’t available… and that began the problems.”

    Tameka is a working mother of 5 boys. According to the interview, she keeps her older boys, Darrin, 21, Ryan, 13, and Kile, 11, in the loop so that they’re not caught off guard by anything they may read in the media.

    Understandably, the younger boys, Usher, 4, and Naviyd Ely, 3, are kept extremely insulated.

    “I don’t want them exposed to their father’s fans, because that can get a little crazy, especially those people who may actually approach my children and ask them questions,” said the protective mother.

    The single mom also owns several businesses Esstella and Estella Home (which she recently consolidated) and Kangazoom,  an indoor play palace for children ages 2-12.  Tameka admits she does it all for her kids. All of them.

    “My kids take precedence over business; however, I do business for my kids. I want them to know that their mom works and she’s independent. I have to leave a legacy for my sons, so that eventually when I go on to glory,” Raymond laughs,

    “they have the savvy to keep it going. I definitely want to birth an entrepreneurial spirit within them. I don’t believe in silver-spoon children and you will not see my boys hanging on a beach all day, posing for paparazzi.”

    Staying true to that philosophy, Tameka’s oldest son is an assistant manager at her other venture, KangaZoom.

    Prior to becoming “Mrs. Raymond,” Tameka had a life that many would consider drama-filled. At 19-years-old, she was 3-months pregnant when the father of her oldest son died.

    “It was devastating,” she reflects. “I could have easily opted out; I’m sure there are many girls who choose to opt out every day, but abortion wasn’t an option for me. And I think that was a courageous move. I weathered the storm as a single mother for a very long time and I couldn’t be more proud of the man my son has turned out to be.”

    “I’ve been a mother for a very, very long time and for anyone to think that I would put a relationship — especially a relationship they believed to be founded on superficial reasons — above my children is not something that I take lightly.”

    At this point in her life, Tameka no longer gives the rumors priority nor does she allow them to steal her positive energy. Still, she finds it more than a little ridiculous that people seem to not believe in true love.

    As for all the comments that she only married Usher for his money, Tameka is insulted and feels that it was LOVE and not the love of money that made her say “I do”…

    “I had enough money of my own to last a lifetime and I think it’s an insult to my ex-husband to insinuate that I chased him for those reasons. What, because he’s affluent, he’s not lovable?,” Tameka asks incredulously.

    “It’s not dissing me to say he’s unworthy. He was really attractive, funny, sweet and we were friends first. Even more hilarious, is that these people spreading the rumors don’t even know him, yet they ‘love’ him. I’ve known Usher over 10 years, why is it impossible to believe that I loved him? There are over 100 ‘Mrs. Raymonds’ following me on Twitter and they’re married to a poster. It’s just a backwards concept.”

    That emotionally draining custody battle?  Well… Tameka reiterates that it is Usher who started the entire media spectacle.

    [READ: Raymond v. Raymond 2012: Usher Seeks FULL Custody of His Two Sons... ]

    “I did not start this. I did not file this. Usher did. I begged him to withdraw the petition, but he didn’t listen. The media jumped on my answer to his petition for custody as if I initiated it, and I did not. Why would I try to keep his children away from him? We have joint custody and I want to continue to have their father around to help out. Raising children is a lot of work.”

    And while it’s apparent that the two aren’t necessarily “friends,” Tameka admits they definitely aren’t enemies.

    My ex-husband and I are not enemies. We’re not. But people still find a way to make it more salacious than it has to be.

    I don’t know how he deals with it, but I refuse to let the media manipulate what should be a personal situation and turn me into the villain.

    There’s way more revealed in the full article, which you can read in it’s entirety HERE.

    So are all of your questions answered?

    What do you think of Tameka’s statements?

      Agree, would love to see her as an Atlanta housewife. I heard she was considered, but the castmates were against it? Anyway, I think she handled herself well in this interview. Too bad I couldn’t access the second page.

      I hate Tameka. One day her kids with KING USHER will see her true colors and will hate her. I hope that Grace and Usher will have the custody. Grace is not a famewhore and understand his entertainer lifestyle and she helped him to get his fanbase back. She is a strong woman who loves him for what he is in contrary to Tameka. Tameka insecurities ruined their relationship. She should have kept her mouth closed and enjoyed Usher’s love instead of that she wanted to be famous. She has zero class and desspite the nose and the surgery she still looks like a mess. Grace is more feminine , with natural and from what I saw on her instagram she seems smart and good mom. I’m glad that Usher has finally found THE ONE. I think that Tameka’s unatractiveness explains her bitterness. She is desperate and lonely, even her 21 years old son don’t wanna hear about her. I’m not surprised that she is pimping Usher’s kids on twitter because Rya Kyle looks like hot mess, they have no swag and looks like geeks.

      and the fact that she got pregnant at 18 without being married or engaged is another proof that she is gold digging whore. She wanted to trap Darin’s father who was a drug dealer. Then he died and she got pissed. She cheated on Ryan Glover with Usher and left him because she thought that she would finally become famous and be more than the ugly stylist.

      Smh she should’ve kept her hard faced mouth shut! She telling a mule faced lie. Her insecurities, baggage, stank attitude, and a few other factors ruined that relationship. He only married her because she was pregnant with Cinco, and once she knew usher was on the way out, she hurriedly got pregnant with Naviyd. I’m telling you, Tranmeka is not slick. She has a hustler mentality and always has, but she’s not slick. She staying very hard to get in good graces with the public but it’s not being bought. At all. See how Grace sits back and plays her position? She’s not fighting with his fans, arguing, or even giving interviews. Tameka’s ugly ass stays in front of somebody camera talking but claims she’d never want "that life." Usher had no intentions on changing when he married her and if truly knew him, she woulda known that.

      Meek gave a good interview.

      She didn’t say one eveil think about her ex,unlike Usher who tries to throw her under the bus every chance he gets.

      Yeah! She cheated on her husband (so did Grace!) she will not be the first and I am sure not the last.

      Did Usher pay off the ex-husbands of Meeka and Grace? Do Usher get a thrill out of sleeping with married women?

      Neither one of them have ever come out to speak against Usher for sleeping with thier wives (Meeka/Grace). Just wondering!

      Otherwise good article and that picture of Meek/Usher thats the happiest I’ve seeen him with a woman.

      I think Tameka (like Ursher {like all of us}) has many sides to her personality. When she’s off the hook, she’s off the hook. But when she pulls it together, it comes together nicely.

      The custody war has revealed a messy side to Ursher. As a couple they probably were very, very good together but also very, very volatile. Oh well.

      Umm @ Real_Ish Usher’s womanfriend did actually come out of the box. She did an interview in the Billboard about 3 weeks ago with him on the cover in a blue jacket. They quoted her saying she was his new manager and girlfriend. She sure did open her pie hole and tell the world that tid bit. She is always lurking in the pictures too, slick background shots. Im sure HE told her to hide and creep around. What a life?? Sneaking with your man? Doesnt add up to me? He doesnt claim her either, which is weird. Something is off with that.

      As for beauty, Grace is not a good looking woman, not that looks are all that matter, but for the record, his ex wife is pretty. This Grace woman is light skinned, homely, with 3rd grade hair styles and bug eyes from what I see in every pic. Being light dont equate to pretty. If he is so in love why is he hiding her out for years?????? Ursher neva does that, when he is serious. Maybe it because shes a rebound or maybe the rumors about her being a regular industry jumpoff are true. Who knows? But shes virtually invisible and people don’t care about her NON-descript arse. It think Usher messed up his fam with being a whore, its sad to see because I think he loved his wife, but could’nt stop humping around.

      I’m sure Grace, Mya, and the others are all sharing and passing him around like leftover roast. I wouldn’t want a music industry star ever, thats pure fuckery and trickery. I guess the wife wasn’t for it either, you know how men lie and pretend to change then do the same shit over, over again. Good article, she’s interesting to me. Keep pushing black woman!

      @Yeah Man King Usher? You’re reaching………. I’m sure you and @ Real_Ish are the same nut, so this goes double

      Umm @Yeah Man and @ Real_Ish Usher’s old friend did actually come out of the hole talking. She did an interview in the Billboard about 3 weeks ago with him on the cover in a bright blue jacket. They have her in there saying she was his new manager and personal girlfriend. She sure did open her mouth up and tell the world that information. She is always lurking in the pictures too, tryna be seen but slick background shots. Im sure HE told her to hide and creep around everywhere they go. What a wack life? Sneaking with your so called man?? Doesnt really add up to me? HE doesnt claim her either, which is important. Something is off with that. "He’s just not into you" rings a bell here.

      As for the looks dept, Grace is not at all good looking woman, not that looks are what matter, but for the record, his ex wife is pretty. This Grace woman is light, bag lady, with 3rd grade hair styles and big buggy eyes from what I see in every picture. Being just light dont equate to being pretty. If he is so in love why is he hiding her out for years on years???? Ursh neva do that, when he is serious. Maybe it because shes a rebound or maybe the rumors about her being a regular industry jumpoff are true. Shes a known ‘slide" in the industry but Who knows? Im sure he knows about her past slut life. But shes virtually invisible and people don’t care about her non-descript/non factor arse. It think Usher messed up his family unit with being a whore, its sad to see because I think he really loved his wife, but could’nt stop humping around. His peen got him in this mess, this all points to it. Hoe ways dont pay.
      I’m sure Grace don’t care for real he’s a commission check to her, Mya, and the others are all sharing and passing him around like leftover roast. I wouldn’t want a music industry star ever, thats pure fuckery and trickery.

      Wow! It’s amazing the amount of emotion that people have for someone they have never even met. You HATE Tameka? Really? What exactly has she done to you to deserve your hatred? Even better, what has Usher done to deserve your LOVE?

      This woman is NOT ugly in the least. I think that people always expect Usher to be with some glamorous chick and that’s why she was bashed so much. Let’s keep it real…he ain’t cute his damn self. He has also destroyed at least 2 marriages that we know of. WHY IS HE NOT BEING DEMONIZED OVER THIS??? Why is everyone going after her?

      I swear people have their priorities out of order. And this also goes for you Michelle. You used to go HARD on her. I know that she reacted in ways that weren’t appropriate, but people do things like that when they are pushed. At least she just keeps it to emails. A real hood chick would have beat your ass.

      You Usher stans are absolutely pathetic and to think you are women. Most of you look just like Tameka, you aren’t LHLS chicks, yet you sit and ridicule a regular looking chick every single day. She is right, most of you are married to a damn poster, yet you want to bash a woman you don’t know. I’ve said it from day one, Usher chose his fans over his marriage. Once everyone found out about Tameka, Usher started losing his fans. Usher began to struggle. He gave up his marriage thinking that he would get his fans back and most of them still didn’t return.

      I hope each of you black bitches who are on here trying to destroy Tameka’s character, get treated the same way Usher is treating Tameka. I also hope that each of your daughters suffer the same fate. You bitches are pathetic.

      I am not a Tameka fan or stan. Wrong is wrong and right is right. How are you attacking this woman (from the very beginning) because she got him and you couldn’t. Why do you have to down dark skin women day in and day out as if they don’t deserve happiness too? Why should Usher and Grace get this woman’s children? You don’t even have a plausible answer for that, yet you are on this blog wishing this woman loses her kids. How about you take your welfare receiving, child support receiving ass up off your fat ass and off the blogs and go get a damn job or open your own company so that you can leave a legacy for your raggidy ass children who are going to grow up to be either someone’s baby daddy, baby mama, crackhead, welfare receiving drug dealer. Pathetic pieces of dog shit.

      I’m white and you bitches make me sick. This is why you aren’t accepted by white folks. Why can’t you just stand together. Why try to take this person down for no good reason.

      Reading these comments are so sickening and sad all at the same time. Tameka is a very beautiful woman and I guess because she is dark, she is being told that she is ugly. This is the problem with the black community. Why are you treating the darker ones like shit when you are all in the same boat. This is why black people will never amount to anything other than rappers and football players. No one takes you serious.

      From what I have seen (and I haven’t seen it all) Tameka has gone on the attack after she was attacked first. People attack her and when she responds, they act as though she is the aggressor. Just like Usher filing the suit against her and everyone jumping on Tameka as if she was wrong for trying to keep her children. I guess you triflin baby mamas on this site don’t have to worry about your ex taking your kids because they don’t barely want to see them and they don’t pay child support anyway so why would he want them. You people make me sick. Then you bitches wonder why all the black men are moving on to white women. You hoes don’t know how to act like civilized human beings. Light v. Dark…WTF is that!!! Get over that shit. It’s 2012 not 1930. Fuck, slavery is over get a damn clue. Ignominious.

      And for you people who are adults, raising children and are treating this woman this way, saying how ugly she is, how much of a gold digger she is, etc., I shiver at the thoughts of you raising children. You women really are disgusting.

GROW UP TAMEKA..THIS INTERVIEW IS GARBAGEJUST LIKE THE WEAVE YOU ARE WEARING!!! GET OVER YOURSELF AND STOP BEING SO FAKE!!!!

      WOW!!!! These comments are crazy! How can you hate somebody you don’t even know? This woman is a mother to 5 BOYS. Count them 5. Raising children is hard enough and raising young black boys is even harder if you are a single mother. No one knows what happened in their marriage and besides, that is between them and God. Nobody ever tells it all and neither will these two. It’s their marraige and it’s their breakup.

      Tameka is not ugly. Grace is not ugly. Usher has made his choice and seems Tameka is learning to live with the choice. I am sure she went through a lot of hurt, anger and grieving and she’s doing the best she can just like anyone else. Stop judging her. I don’t know this woman, but my goodness people are really cruel.

      There ain’t a single soul on this planet that as arrived yet. We are all a work in progress.

      well i have read majority of these comments and the ones saying tameka is ugly is not true, she may not be the most pretty or sexy but she is not ugly. as far s the light vs dark within the african american race it is sick and sad and has been going on since slavery time when the biracial slaves thought they were better and could "pass"…this mentality need to stop…i have two daughters one is of indian color which means she is carmel in the winter and once the sun hit she is darker and i have one that is dark and it’s all beautiful!!!!! now i too think that people thought that usher would choose another chili or some lslh chic which is SOOO out of line! his own mother is not lslh and chili wasnt light skin. we as a people have to be happy when someone choose the person of their liking! usher and tameka is to blame seem like for their failed marriage, if in fact usher chose his career over his marriage which it seem like to a certain extent then he is to blame and tameka is to blame for her insecurity her jealousy and her controlling dictating nature, you have to let a man be a man and you cant control him especially a industry man! tameka loved the lights and action that usher brought and thats why she divorced her ex husband..she was ready for everything she ever wanted i mean thats why she became a stylist to the stars and usher was the key to her marketing strategy..but it failed miserably. like i said i dont think she should have dated and married usher anyway due to the fact that her and chili were cool. but no she was after the lights camera and action and thats just the bottom line. it all fell apart when she saw that usher was a different person once married. once you friends its different when you get married…it’s another level of committment and understanding and sounds like tameka didn’t want to understand that he had other obligations to the music industry but it should never be one of denying his marriage and he didn’t do that so again tameka is telling lies. he publicly on mtv told the "haters" that he loved his wife and to leave her alone. you can’t get no honest than that! like usher said in one of his songs…she didn’t have sex with him, sleeping in seperate rooms,s he only wanted the lights cameras and action! once again tameka is wrong for this interview and her controlling ways lost her a good man. now if there was cheating going on thats is wrong and i dont agree with usher wanting full custody unless he has a good reason. other than that…i think tameka need to get help because she is clearly insecure and she shouldn’t be.

      Lmao!!!! What the hell does complexion have to do with anything? It wouldnt matter what color Tameka was, if the bitch ain’t cute, she ain’t cute!!!!! There are beautiful women of all shades, black women embody that. She’s just not one of them and her attitude doesn’t help it. And at the end of the day, Grace is not constantly in front of the damn camera giving interviews, cussing people out on social media, etc. Tameka has done that from the moment people knew she was messing with Usher. She wanted people to like her with him the way the public adored Chilli, who by the way is also a darker skinned woman. Get over it. Her not being cute has nothing to do with her skin color. Her attitude, and that strong ass jaw may have a lot to do with that.

      When you marry a big time music star, or any musician’, it comes with the territory. My uncle musician dad was a cheater, he was married and stayed out and partied with sometimes other women on my aunt, she got use to it, they were married and stayed together the day he died.

      This is my POINT…Who CARES About Tameka??..No one Wants to Here her Side…No one Wants to here whats shes doing…Why does she think its Relevant to ANYTHING in the Music Industry?? You Trapped Usher getting Pregnant,Karma came and Bit you in the A$$..Now Go live your life Off Child Support and LOG off Twitter.Stop Calling Blogs to Do Storys for you..No Matter what you do No one will ever like you,But the few chicks that wish they were you or think its ok to trap.So they look up to you..You think your Hard, you came off WRONG from Day one,,Its not about looks,Even though your old and MAde-up,air-brushed and sucked and tucked,Its your attitude..You brush people the wrong way.Grace Is enjoying the MAN,Light Skinned,pretty hair dont mean CUTE,TRUE Dat. But,being humble and coming off Sweet will get you a long way. Being a Bi#$h and controlling from day one, Like I GOT Him Bitches…WRONG<< HIS FANS come FIRST you aint NO??? $$$$ Talk Boo.. Grace,Not trying to be alll in the MIX in the Cameras,She knows where he sleeps at night.And Clearly,Not with you….

      No One is Disgusting, It’s called Reality– Some people Deal with it,others Ignore it— #Period no ones Hating,I’m very Rich, in looks and $$$,So quit thinking its HATE- Just because people Don’t like u Doesn’t mean there Hating–No on is Hating on Grace–Why?? Shes Not a Big Mouth Bitch like Tameka– If she wanted privacy she should have stayed out the Media from Day ONE– She ReFUSE to get off Twitter– That’s her ONLY Voice and It’s Killing U Softly-

      Wow,I have never seen soo many people commenting negativly about a woman they don’t even know. Were any of you laying in the bed when she and usher had "pillow talk"? Were any of you there when the cameras weren’t rolling? No, you weren’t. So, shut up. People kill me, they talk as if Usher knows them personaly. Shut up! People hear a few of his songs and think they are his spokes person. He married her for a reason. At the end of the day, she is still the mother of his TWO children and people need to respect her as such. At the end of the day, they have to answer to each other, not any of you.

      One mo’ thang! Crazy people should not have custody of their kids period!! Usher is doing the right thing by attempting to get his kids away from Crazy Lady – Crashing Concerts & Getting Thrown Out – Following him around the country, etc. Those are the actions of a crazed fan, not a loving mother. I’m proud of Usher for having the courage to get his sons out of Tameka’s dysfunctional chaotic grip!
