Raymond 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 11 year old stepson Kile Glover’s recent accident, he may have had a change of heart on his decision to seek full custody.

Details + more recent photos of Usher & Lil Cinco below…
According to TMZ, Usher (who is pictured with his son and the son of his new girlfriend/manager Grace Miguel) may desire to settle with Tameka in light of the jet ski accident.
Usher has changed his tune and now wants to up his ante to settle his epic child support/custody war with Tameka Raymond after the jet ski accident that left his stepson Kyle brain dead … TMZ has learned.
Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ … Usher spoke with Tameka over the weekend and suggested that they settle up, but he did not significantly change his offer — 50/50 custody with a very slight increase in child support. Tameka said no way.
But apparently Usher softened after the conversation, because our sources say he met with his lawyers earlier this week and instructed them to craft a new proposal that would give Tameka “a majority” of custody, though the sources did not specify the exact breakdown. We’re told Usher is also raising his child support offer “significantly.”
As for Usher’s motivation … we’re told he’s very conscious that Tameka is suffering and it’s not a good move to continue the fight under the circumstances.
We’re told the offer has not been presented to Tameka yet, but our sources say she’s open to a “reasonable settlement.”
Calls to lawyers on both sides have not been returned.
It’s a shame that it takes a family tragedy to make people come to their senses…

Tameka Raymond Speaks Out on Good Morning America… [VIDEO]
I wouldn’t expect anything less from Usher, really. Tragedies tend to make people get their priorities in order. Also, he would come off as an ass if he pursued it under the circumstances, and he doesn’t seem to be that heartless, from what I could tell. I’m still praying for that little boy, and his parents. And his siblings.
I agree STL. Although I am sure he has the most sincerest intentions and upbringing. If he pursued he would be the villain. It was the only thing left to do.
I agree with you 100%–that’s what a real MAN would do!
Very sad!!!
Maybe this was a wake up call for the both of them life does not have an age limit Im still praying and I also Pray for the the person that hit this child i know he has to be hurting as well.
I knew this would happen. Yes it is very sad.
Ass hole!
Well…karma is a bitch isn’t it. She swore down that Usher leave is children in a unsafe environment as she laughs and mock at him in court….then her son gets killed by an jet ski….
Adam, couldn’t you have kept those thoughts to yourself?
Echoing those sentiments, V ; )
I hate that he is changing his mind all because of this accident it shouldnt have gotten this far period one person didnt create those children the both of them did. rgardless of how he feels about Tameka its better to have them brought up by both parents then to try and hold everything down on your own but whatever it takes for him to see the light like i said above i pray for ALL parties involved in this situation May God be with this little boy and send his angels down to wrap there wings around him and heal him
Im so tired of these fathers trying to make mothers seems like their are MOMsters….He should of done this before instead of going through the system to decide what to do with his children, when he knows that Tameka takes good care of all her children
He wants 50/50 custody of his kids. I don’t see why they cant share custody. Her ex husband has 50/50 custody, so why is she being so stubborn with Usher? I think Tameka is just obsessed with Usher.
Usher was going after FULL custody…he wanted to alter the 50/50 agreement, so then Tameka filed for full custody in response.
We really don’t know what went on between those two. Media reports what they want to sell magazines and papers. Whatever happened is between them. No parent should have to deal with what she is going through. Prayers to her son. He is the one suffering.
uh, bad timing? i think he should wait a little longer to resume any type of progress in this case…she’s a mother trying to grieve right now.
Gd job Usher,atleast Tameka has one less thing to worry abt.hopefully both of you would co-parent in a peaceful and civilized manner….praying for Kile and the 15yrs old girl for God to heal them.
She just want the money without the kids daddy has them all the time if he’s on tour he take them sometime its all good.
I would want to handle my business as well. No shade to Usher.
Sorry, but I just don’t understand why they can’t be co-parents. If you have a father who is willing to step up and do the right thing then work with him. Sorry for her son’s accident but maybe it will make her also realize all this is not necessary. Let him be the father that he is.
Good for him. Praying for this family. I could not even imagine.
I think that maybe she was sent a sign that said “concentrate on your family and not Saks”.
Tameka’s ass is lookin at the MONEY. That’s why her her ass said no way. Usher is not obligated to support her ugly ass anymore, just take care of his children. I wonder is she gonna ask him or Ryan to pay for that boy’s medical bills. SMH. He doesn’t have to give her more money so he can spend more time with his kids. This is partly why he wanted full custody in the first place so he wouldn’t have to deal with her at all. And as I said before, I told you Grace’s kids like him and vice versa. Tameka needs to stop being so damn money hungry. This situation is far from over. Usher is NOT going to give her the kinda money she wants. Bish is still mad he divorced her ass and moved on. She has to wonder why both her exes are in relationships with other people and she’s still single.
I don’t get why people are worried about money that isn’t theirs. I’m just saying!
I hope the situation turns out well.
Now! If everyone can put their hostility to the side: The Real tea is HOW did Usher and Tameka get in contact with each long enough for them to talk and He offer her to use his private Jet.
Allow the two of them to work out their situation how they see fit, and if Usher decide to do what he mentioned above it has nothing to do with anyone else but the two of them
I’m come on here and talk shaat! just like everyone else. However, thier business is their business.
If he had any type of lawyer they would convince to not make a decision that important during an emotional time.
Just prayers.
I don’t understand what was wrong with 50/50 custody. Hope they get this settled quickly.
I said this on other blogs and i’ll say it hear..personally I think the only thing that has happened is a suspension in the hearing. At this time Tameka could give tow fcuks about the courts while her child is laying unresponsive. Usher has already shown that Kile is bigger than their battle, so I personally think this has been put on the back burner. Until I hear directly from either camps i’m not buying it.It’s funny all the sources have so much to say but the parties involved have said nothing, Usher wears his issues on his sleeve and he’s said NOTHING at all..There is a ton of speculation but nothing concrete.
here
WHY do people care so much about what Usher and Tameka are doing?! WHY…do you not have enough business of your own? I have read (mainly from other sites) some of the most hateful comments ever towards this woman…how can you hate someone you dont even know!!! What you and the blogs know is what the media put out there that is it and in most cases it is not accurate. As a mother I would NEVER want my childs father to have 50/50 custody ESPECIALLY since he travels for a living. That means 50% of my childs LIFE is on the road, on a bus, on a plane, in this state and that state. His kids are young and they need a stable environment to thrive in not what Usher has to offer. During the summer…sure…take them for a few weeks but ultimately they would need to be home. When he has time off he would be more than welcome to see his kids. Do what is right for the kids NOT a entertaining dad!!! News flash* you dont need custody to be a great father!! Now this CRAP about her just wanting his money…this woman WORKS she own businesses so she aint broke but should he have to take care of his kids financially…hell yeah!!! He can afford it so pay it. Lastly if I hear one more ignorant person talking about this is karma…are you serious?! This isnt karma bad things happen to good people all the time…I just lost my daughter two months ago that aint Karma it’s life THINGS HAPPEN…we just have to be strong enough to pray our way through and stand on the word of GOD, his promises and our faith. Usher divorced her…took her to court how is that karma?! She appears to be a great mom who loves her kids and there is NOTHING that you hater can do about that. Is she perfect NO…but neither are we. The best thing we can all do is pray even harder for this family that GOD’s will be done. The devil has alot of folks speaking ill about this family so keep praying folks!!!
So very well said!
God has a perfect hand. Don’t worry about it. For everybody who analyzing and criticizing, let this be a lesson to order your own house. Do you have a living will, medical power of attorney, assigned beneficiaries for life insurance and cash on hand for a family crisis. If not, stop making judgments about this situation. You’ve got work to do. Good news is you can do it all on the Internet!
I don’t believe that money was ever the motivating factor in Tameka’s relationship with Usher. I don’t know anything about her finances, but I do know she was a woman working in the entertainment industry as a stylist who had created a name for herself long before she started working for Usher styling him. Tameka’s ex husband Ryan Glover was also working in the business at the time so I assume they were both doing well financially providing for their 3 sons(her oldest son being from a previous relationship). I think that Tameka’s pain,anger and overall bitterness toward Usher comes from her allowing herself to be sucked into a Disney fairytale where her and the much younger, handsome, famous music artist fell in love and they both defied the resistance of everyone around them by having a very public relationship. For Tameka it was real true love and she sacrificed a lot to be with him including; from rumored reports her turning over full physical custody of her two youngest sons to their Biological father whom she also divorced for Usher(again rumored) so she would have more time to carry on a Worldwind love affair with a R&B artist adored by millions of fans and be available to cater to his his waking every need. I think that once she realized that Usher just wanted to rent her womb, he couldn’t handle all the backlash his career was taking over their marriage and that she was just as disposable to him in the end as all his other ex-girlfriends had been that she felt betrayed/used and became enraged(A Woman Scorned)! People say that her son’s tragic accident should help her to see what’s important now in life and others say it’s her Karma(Totally DISAGREE), but she may be even more resentful toward Usher later,because she may see him as the cause for this whole chain of tragic events. If only she had stayed with her husband and 3 boys than to have the story end like this. IJS!
You make very valid points, and I agree with most of them. People are just jaded and quick to judge nowdays. I don’t just pity Tameka; I pity Chilli, Grace, and any other woman that has the misfortune of falling in love with Usher. Listen to his lyrics…he’d like to commit, but he likes having his way with women, and he does. Like most celebrities, a harem of women is like the biggest perk of the business. Nobody’s going to give it up 100%, particularly someone who entered the business as a boy and has gotten his way ever since. I love Usher, but I bet he’s a beast on a heart.
I am not from Atlanta and don’t know anything about the lake where the accident took place. There was some discussion on another blog about better regulations. Some have posted that accidents of this nature have happened several times before. Unfortunately, the owner of the other blog doesn’t seem to think ppl should be discussing rather or not the lake needs to review the way it operates….. to each its own, but I think maybe it is worth looking at especially if it’s able to save someone else.
So my question for those who are familiar with the Lake is there an issue with the way the motorized vehicles and swimmers interact? Have there been deaths and injuries prior to Kile that may have been prevented? If so maybe this could be the start of some changes in dedication to those that have lost their lives and/or been injured.
I know exactly what blog you are referring to. One of my comments were deleted because the person couldn’t tell the difference between a discussion and placing blame. I guess it shows their level of maturity and comprehension or lack thereof.
I heard that some ppl have been making some noise about the way things are set up and starting to get some attention about the condition.
Here’s to hoping something good can come out of this.
The man wants to be in his childrens lives. She should be happy and agree with 50/50 custody.
All of the custoday battle issues aside… I adore this pic of Usher and Cinco. Looks like he’s dancing to "YOu Make me Wanna" and Ursh is basking in the glory of his son!*Kodak*
i told yall usher was a real man!!!! he wouldnt have married her if he wasn’t!
@ Adam. It’s a shame when people try to say that karma is the reason for a tragic injury to a child. Go have several seats somewhere!
Really. Karma had nothing to do with this. It was a terrible accident and nothing more, nothing less. Besides, Karma would imply that the child Kyle did something to deserve being possibly brain dead. It was an ignorant comment and I agree that @Adam should sit down somewhere preferably in psychologist’s office.
I hope both Usher and Tameka learn from this. Time and life are not guaranteed and we need to cherish our family especially our children. God protect Kyle and all the kids. I hope Tameka and Usher can remain friends after the dust settles. Divorce doesn’t have to be ugly if couples can just come together and cut their losses without trying to wound one another.
come to his senses? why do you mean michelle? it is sad that kile is brain dead but usher is absolutely right to want 50/50 custody with his sons.
No, Usher already had 50/50. He was going for 100%. Neither one of them deserve 100. They need to compromise like divorced parents should.
Usher dont need 50/50 NOTHING until he submit to a drug testas requested by his kids mother…it’s easy for FANS to sit back and say what he should have but a real MOTHER knows best. To be perfectly honest this will actually probably cause Tameka to be even more protective of her kids so get to pissing Ush!!!! Clearly she knows something about him that his fans dont.
I will say this They need to handle this custody battle like grown ups. Tameka seems like a Real shady person. And no matter wht people say about usher but Tamrka knew wht she was getting into when she married Usher. She knew his past with women and STILL married him. Not giving her kids father joint custody is not the answer. Not letting kids see their father whenever they want is not the answer. Usher still needs to grow up but Tameka needs to learn to be a co parent. Cause she cant raise ALL those kids by herself.
"Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ … Usher spoke with Tameka over the weekend and suggested that they settle up, but he did not significantly change his offer — 50/50 custody with a very slight increase in child support. Tameka said no way."
Sounds like Usher took the full custody off the table and agreed to 50/50 to put the case to bed so she can focus on Kile and grieve. If Tameka wasn’t all about the money shouldn’t have turned the deal down. Sorry. No matter what the dollar figure is on the that child support Ushers kids will be well taken care of financially, be dressed well and will live in the best of the best. I don’t think he is being heartless by telling her he wants to settle things up NOW. A tragedy makes anymore think about whats most important. This case is no longer important. So he wants to sign off and kill the case. I don’t blame him. My heart goes out to Tameka and the family. Hopefully she does the right thing.
