![The #GoFundMe Explosion: A Random Sampling of Online Beggin’ For Your Viewing Pleasure… [PHOTOS]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Pimp-for-Cash1-520x525.jpg)
Raymond, looking dapper in his Puma/Nike ensemble, appeared all smiles as he prepared to rev up his sexy black motorcycle and I’ve learned from a credible source that he’s also readying to continue that nasty custody battle with his ex-wife Tameka Raymond.
Yes… you read right! Just days after the poor woman buried her child, Raymond is going full steam ahead to snatch full custody of her two youngest!
Full details + more photos below:
Family friends have confirmed that while Usher briefly appeared at the funeral for Tameka Raymond and Ryan Glover’s youngest son Kile, he dipped out without even offering his condolences to any of the family.
We feel like the only reason he came at all is because the media kept portraying Kile as “Usher’s stepson.”
He wasn’t supportive to the family at all and we feel he used the situation to draw sympathy from his fans.
The sad thing about this entire situation is that Tameka swallowed her pride and actually reached out to Usher while Kile was hospitalized.
She could never get him on the phone so she left a message begging him to help her with some of the expenses her insurance wouldn’t cover.
He never returned her calls and when Kile passed away Tameka reached out to him again and he still hasn’t responded to this day.
[Sidebar: Whooda thought that Ursh would be such a d*ck! 
]
Oh but wait… there’s more!
My very credible source told me that in addition to not responding to Tameka’s humble requests to help save his stepson’s life, Usher is still going full steam ahead in his attempts to gain full custody of their two kids.
It’s my understanding that they’re scheduled to resume the case in court Aug. 13th.
The story that leaked during Tameka son Kile’s hospitalization about Usher wanting to drop the custody battle was totally FALSE (click HERE if you missed it). My source believes that it was Usher’s camp who leaked the fake story knowing full well the case was to resume in August.
Usher had no intention of dropping that custody dispute and his high powered PR team leaked that fake story about him wanting to settle, hoping fans would think that it was Tameka who is being uncooperative but that is so far from the truth.
When I heard this my heart totally went out to Tameka. While everyone knows we’ve had our issues in the past, the one thing that I’ve never doubted is her dedication as a mother.
You’d think that a superstar who sings so articulately about love & relationships could give a mother time to grieve her son’s death before diving right back into the fighting ring.
But I guess life goes on… why should Usher care about an 11 year old’s death when there are grudges to hold (and old broads to ride around on bikes)??

I DONT BELIEVE A DARN WORD OF THIS FOOLERY! THAT MAN CHARTERED A FREAKIN PLANE TO GET TAMEKA BACK FROM HER VACATION TO HER SON SOOOO WHY WOULD HE NOT RETURN HER CALLS??…WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR STORYS FROM MICHELLE!!
I agree!!! a bunch of BS…FOH with that VERY RELIABLE source!! SMH
something is NOT right with this story at all..sounds like a smear campaign on someone workingindependtly..Usher values his fans too much otherwise he would have NEVER divorced Tameka..he HAS to look good in the public eye..This would KILL his career
You took the words out of my mouth, I haven’t liked ushers music since he dropped his mom, but I’m siding with him on this whole custody thing. Meka abandoned he husband and kids to be with him now she wants to keep these two. Wonder why, hmmm? Anyway according to Michelle Meka and Ryan have money so why is she begging for Ushers? They’re divorced.
EXACTLY! Also, he said he stayed in the background because he didn’t want to make it about him! You fucking kill me NOT telling the story correctly when it comes to bitches you favor. Either you are going to tell to story correct, or take the MTO approach and tell straight up LIES and get viewed as rag blogger! You report some of your stories like a 9th grade bitch with a grudge. I read (on credible sites) that Usher wanted to settle this in light of Kyle, but Tameka’s ass didn’t want too.
lol @ credible site!! Oh Please…they ALL lie! Stop believing the hype and getting all emotionally invested in this mess.
Who’s emotional? I damn sure am not. It’s about speaking the truth, and yes, there are sites that make what they post is fact checked.
As I scroll down, it looks as if YOU’RE the one in the feelings, commenting on damn near every other post that disagrees with what Tamecka’s putting out there.
@Ms. JessTheBest I said YOU were getting emotional and that is the way I feel about your post so you can check that out with your "credible site" that is 9 times out of 10 written by someone you dont know lol…the ONLY credible source is Ush, Tameka and GOD and I dont think that the 3 of them want to talk to yall!!! lol By the way I sure did comment alot on all this Tameka bashing but please believe just like YOU I dont know her….BUT I do know the mother that just lost her child and how the devil will have people speak ignorance against you to keep you down…yeah I know THAT woman!!! Check your credible site for that…
Yea ! And I hope he whupps her bee-hind !
I hope this isn’t true. My prayers are still with Tameka, and their family.
Michelle you seriously need to quit it. Usher is under NO obligation to help Tameka with anything or anyone not concerning HIS children. Ryan has all these connects and a good job in Atlanta. Why do we never hear about HIS contribution to his own children? Tameka shouldn’t get automatic custody of the kids and a raise just because she lost a son. As tragic as the situation is and was, custody of Cinco and Naviyd is a totally different issue!
Sounds to me like Tameka has the PR team that’s leaking the fake stories. I wouldn’t put anything past neither one of these characters, but there seems to be quite a bit of reaching going on here.
Seems to me that since this IS so sensitive and does involve children, you would be a little more tactful in your "reporting" [gossiping about] this issue. However, since you’re not, at least get the facts straight.
RIGHT!! THATS MY POINT THAT BABAY HAD A FATHER SO WHY WOULD SHE GO TO USHER AND BEG?? MICHELLE PLEASE STOP REACHING AND SITTING BEHING THAT COMPUTER WITH YOUR DONUTS GOSSIPING!
LNAO!
BRAVO!!! Could not have said it better myself….reaching!!
I sooo agree with you KeepinItReal…he has every right 2 fight for custody of his children…it is very expensive 2 keep postponing court dates & refiling this and that, and time consuming as well….he paid his respects 2 Kyle but STILL has his own children 2 think about….if she can give the others kid father joint custody why won’t she do the same for Usher??….I truly believe it all boils down to money…..full custody means she has more control & more money….who he’s dating or riding around on his motorcycle is irrelevant…the question is is he a good father and does he take care of his children…his dating life should not even be mentioned here…..of course Tameka’s family will not paint him in a good light…..
ummmmmmmmm he has JOINT custody now…USHER is taking TAMEKA to court for FULL custody not the other way around…so how could she want more money when she isnt the one who filed in the first place?!
Ooooh! I am so glad somebody said it!! He is absolutely under no obligation especially when the son’s father is involved, irregardless of his celebrity status!
Please stop being messy, this is not a game!!!
preach!
What I wanna know is why wouldn’t Tameka have adequate cover for her son’s medical needs since she is all around town living the fabulous life, if that was the case.
Additionally, you have to have the nerve of a brass behind monkey to ask a man you just got out of a courtroom with a couple weeks before labeling him an unfit dad of his OWN kids to give you money for your child that is not HIS.
Where they do that at? Only in Tameka’s world.
This is probably nothing personal as I’m sure the court date was previously scheduled. A previously filed case doesn’t disappear because things happen in the personal lives of either party. Now or later, the case will get a resolution. And the recent events in Tameka’s life may foster an amicable resolution. The lawyer in me thinks this post is ridiculously off base and lacking of the most basic legal knowledge…if Ms.Parks is a friend to the author, consulting her before jumping the gun might prove useful. If I was representing Tameka, I would encourage her to move forward with the case as soon as possible. The court may be emphathetic to her current state. Further, Usher lacking empathy for Tameka really as no bearing on his relationship with their shared children. Harsh as it may seem, step children aren’t the legal responsibility of current or ex step parents.
Credible source? Why would Tameka beg Usher to pay for funeral expenses? Isn’t Kile’s father pretty well off? That doesn’t make any sense. And because of that falsehood I would question every other detail.
I agree Crazybeautiful….story sounds a little fudged….somebody is putting their own stank on it. I hope he is not this sick and disgusting. Why would you want to take more kids from this woman…sorry he’s sick.
I wish Tameka the best. Losing a child no mother wants to go through that. and there is still no reason for a court to take her kids from her. Point Blank! Wasn’t it Usher’s relative who ran over Kile? just asking. Seems his family has some issues and having a nanny raise his boys don’t sound like the life they need.
It was his daddy friend that hit him.
Thank you! There sure is a surplus of heartless MF’s now days. Usher instigated this court case for FULL custody. If he tries to remove her from their daily lives (that is what full custody is, folks) knowing she just buried what was her youngest son for many years would make him the most heartless SOB to slither this earth. I hope there’s no truth to this.
he wants full custody so he can raise the boys right and not under tameka’s crazy tactics! she would still be able to see the boys every weekend or every other weekend, just like with dwade and his ex wife…they still get to see the kids just not every day..so hey it is what it is! lol let the better parent raise the child, hey single mothers do it all the time, no one is screaming about the absentee ass deadbeat dads! i say go for it usher, you lived with her, you know how she do! lol
everybody want to scream a child need both parents, well im sorry we dont live in a world like that, we live in a world where there are more single parents than there is married couples and hell to be honest if you married sometime the child only get reared by one parent anyway, let’s be real here. the bottom line is this-there are more than half of children in this world that live WITHOUT their father on a daily basis…i mean years or all of their youth life without their father. i don’t hear no one screaming about it, it’s a fact and it’s something that we have no control over becasue you can’t make someone be a part of their child life. so when you say all kids need both parents, thats fine, but thats not the case and there are many who succeed in life under one parents guidance! bottom line is, usher’s kids will be fine without tameka as a joint or full time mother!
wow, sometimes you cannot listen to the PR, lawyers etc around you in that industry you have to let the Lord guide you as to how you should operate. Yes on the political stand pt now would be the best time to strike but we has ppl have to make some decisions with our heart and back-off just to make the situation for another person better and not cause any strife or mayhem amongst families. I say chill out and find something else to do and for God sakes be there for the women in some sense b/c you never know when you need that person you can trust that has genuine love for you especially in the entertainment business.
Yes!Im shocked!
omg
Wow, right after she just buried her son, really Usher. She lost one, now, she’s on the verge of losing another one. Where is the empathy? Smh…..#Dissappointed
he still wants his boys…thats not going to change.
Beyond shocked!! Talk about kicking someone while they’re down!!
you have to strike When the iron is hot. Hopefully this article isn’t true though.
They are all grieving. Sadly business still has to be handled. Usher is not wrong for trying to handle business so he can move on. It might be hard for him to proceed but he may feel like its something he needs to do. Its an extremely unfortunate situation but life must go on. Im sorry to say it but that’s the reality of the situation.
That’s not reality. That’s cruelty. So not only do you separate a mother from her grieving sons, but you separate grieving sons from their mother?
Class act, Mr. Raymond.
I believe every word! I think he only wants custody to avoid paying child support.
He wants his kids,, point blank! damn if if does damn if he doesnt!
Complete waste of time…there is nothing like a mothers love. She has maybe made some bad decisions in the past as we all have, yet it still doesn’t take away from the fact that she is still a great mother.
Who told you she is a great mother? Besides that, there is nothing like a father’s love. There are no kids without a Dad yet soon as the kid gets here, Mom takes precedence. Look at society today and tell me that’s working. It’s not. Kids need both parents. However, if one parent is stuck on stupid and can’t move pass childish shenanigans and wrecking havoc on the kid’s emotionally trying to get revenge on the other parent, that’s very damaging to kids.
WHo told YOU that she wasnt a great mother…it is all hearsay and gossip….unless you know her personally then you really are just basing your judgements off of possible lies…
Thank GOD the Judge decides the outcome and not people reading blogs and taking what they read as the Gospel.
She should have used some of the money she travels and shops with to cover HER son’s medical bills. He owes her nothing..that is what his real father is for he should have had anything she needed. The are divorced and he has every right to seek custody. Who was watching all her kids when her son had that accident?
The father! Where the fuck you been?
Not all in they bienes like you…bitch get a life!!! And how much watching was he doing?
wow…now we calling each other bitches over business and aint got NOTHING to do with us…REALLY?!
Your last question should have been your first. Maybe you should comment on business you are not knowledgeable about.
Bitch. If I don’t have a life, but you’re here reading my comments, how fulfilling is your life?
That’s what I thought.
Meant "should not," flannel.
Damn!
If this is true, then Usher needs to be slapped…
Interesting….wonders did Ush "people" leak the info about him chartering Tameka a plane to get back to her dying son.
after all a child has died and who was only known as Usher stepson…who benefitted from that. #messy
Usher’s a good man and only wants the best for Tameka and all the kids.
He should.. He has woken up, plus he wouldn’t wish that accident to happen to anyone’s child..but his own seed. He understands the importance of having his children close to him at this point. Something that many men will get the spell and go after custody for their children ad crack down on child support fraud by moms, and still sleeping with him. I’m glad a man is stepping up to show you how these women can be vindictive. Go U S H E R!
Not sure if I believe this story. Hmmmm…
I mad how the majority of people are going in on Temeka, yet everyone is kissing Usher’s azz..smh..I bet if this was YOU, most would feel totally different.. I believe there is some truth to this story and I do believe that usher is being a self-centered azz… to still want to take the children away from their mother after Tameka has lost one child to me is cruel and I hope he has a change of heart.. and I do believe he doesnt want to have to pay out big money for child support… because Tameka can’t be that bad he is just petty.
Did you know Mela gave up custody of her kids and cheater on her husband to be with usher? No one is kissing @$&, we just see through her she wants money. No one feels sorry for a parent who abandons their children, I sure don’t especially when you try to keep them away from a black man who actually wants to be apart of their lives. If she wouldn’t have kept them from him in the first place we wouldn’t be talking about it.
read what you wrote and come again…who is YOUR source for this incorrect information?!
I’m with you. I hope it’s not true, but I don’t put it past him. It’s okay to be a fan. Don’t be a fool, too. You’d be surprised what these people are like when the lights dim and the curtains close.
No court in their right minds would give Usher TOTAL custody. It has nothing to do with fame. I know crack heads who gotten their kids back. Courts always favor the mother unless she does something totally out the way like don’t feed them for months and hide them in a clost or something. Tameka has ALWAYS shown she was a GREAT mother. I do not believe this story at all. ALthough when court does resume, be prepared for Tameka to keep her children
I pray for her . I do believe he did have
the story leak .
It’s true. Usher only went to the hospital once and NEVER came back. He didn’t even consider Tamika’s other kids HIS step children even though they looked to him as a father. Usher only wants what’s best for him and that dried up womb he’s with now. While the media was all "USHERS STEPSON" this and "USHERS STEPSON" that Usher was partying it up with Grace. So miss me with all the skepticism. Michelle has been the only blog that rarely mentioned Usher and I remember she was the only blogger who actually witnessed some of the custody battle in court.
If I have to choose between a lying, cheating superstar R&B singer who slept with his (then) wife’s bridesmaid and a blogger who has proven on more than on occasion to be honest and forthright, then I’ll go with MICHELLE for $1000 Alex.
Fuck Usher! Karma is a bitch and all the money on the world can’t stop the truth.
Thanks Michelle for letting is know the REAL.
GIRL BYE!! YOU MUST BE USHER EX OR THIS MICHELLE PATTING HER OWN BACK!! HOW DO YOU KNOW HE ONLY WENT ONE TIME??….#INQUIRINGMINDSWANTTOKNOW
I’m sure I’m not the only one who read that online. And what do I have to prove to YOU? How are you so emotionally connected to what I have to say? Are you Usher’s OLD lady?
Please stop believing that everything online or printed in the news is the gospel. There are always these "Sources" that are telling all their business, not the actual persons themselves. Not unless everyone reading/contributing to these postings were there in person, all anyone can do is speculate as to what really transpired.
In while my heart goes out to her, in no way shape or form is Usher obligated to do anything. Everyone always expects that stars/celebrities are just supposed to take care of everyone.
BridesmaidS! There were 2, and if he pursues this in court I hope all of his skeletons come fallin’ out the closet. Hell, can the poor boys’ body settle in the ground before he tries stripping her of two more?
He did leak the story . I am praying for her . His punk ass make me sick .
BLOG SITES, THAT DATE WAS ALREADY SET. SOME PEOPLE GET A HIGH OFF OF FOOLERY. STAY OUT OF PEOPLE BUSINESS.
exactly
Usher doesn’t wanna pay child support…point blank period and in that order..#mamasBoy
I believe this story 100%, Usher has always come off as a complete jerk to me. He doesnt have a humble spirit and he is usually cocky in his interviews (comparing himself to MJ and Sugar Ray Leonard). I have never liked his personality. His music is good but as a person he seems to be full of himself. I just can tell hes not a nice man.
I hope she wins in court. How dare a man try and snatch custody from a mother, especially with NO GOOD REASON. Usher is an arrogant, self serving person and its no wonder his career is flopping as of late. Prayers for Tameka and her family.
Usher and Tameka started wrong and will end wrong!!
I don’t believe this, Usher is not like that. My question is why should he be responsible for her other kids expenses, isn’t their Dad an well known successful entrepreneur.
If a man wants to have custody of his children why not !!! We have carried the burdens of motherhood for so long somebody needs to step this game up. So now he will have to maintain their support no matter what , and she will not have to complain about getting child support ! What be the problem with a man raising his sons , most men are not even owning up to their responsibilities as fathers wow !!! O and by the way did we forget that Usher is not the JUDGE in this case so he has to show up no matter what …. Yes there was a death of another child , however do guys think the judge did get information on this issue at hand ? Come on now ! Life is life , so sad about the death of Tamekas son , wishing all of them a speedy but safe and healthy recovery in Jesus name I pray
Idk why you keep posting this foolishness. You already know Usher is your followers savior and can do no wrong in their eyes along with that awful Behoesay. Please no more updates on their ‘family’ drama.
LOL!
I’m sorry but business before pleasure.If the shoe was on the other foot Tameka wouldn’t give a damn and would have went ahead with court.Hell maybe if she was with her son it wouldn’t have happened.
How the hell would her presence have stopped this tragedy? Does she have the power of Jesus when she’s near water? As far as business before pleasure, where’s any pleasure in this whole situation?
Fuck all that, I would too! She left her kids with her 1st husband , so what’s her reason for wanting the kids she’s had with usher? An excuse , to continue to be apart of what he has going on. She better gone with that shit!
@ Brit Brat , Girl EXACTLY!
@ Peaches- Usher is 1 of the highest paid entertainers of all time. Im sure Kyles dad is not. Kyle was Usher’s step child and Tameka was his wife. So what if she asked Usher for help during the sickness and funeral, he has a mountain of money. If it was my step child I would have been offering to pay for it all. Not just some of the costs but every one. The child died and now Usher is taking her back to court to fight for her babies and for what????? I still never got the reason for this court battle. He started it but why? Im never buying nothing Usher makes again. No concerts, No album, No DVD, nada, he sucks. His last few articles made him sound like a jack ass too.
Misha – i don’t buy this story usher took it upon himself and fly tameka on a charter plane to be next to her son. that court date was already set. Ryan Kyle father is well off he owns a tv station. Usher didn’t have to do anything because he is divorce but he did it because he still have a relationship with his step sons. the day of the accident kyle sent usher a post card. I’m done with this site Michelle was first team usher during their divorce now this fooliness.
If there’s any truth to this story, I’m with you. Yes, he’s talented. No, we shouldn’t be so invested in these people’s personal lives. BUT, with the world of internet that isn’t going to stop. In fact, it’s going to get worse. To purchase an album is to purchase a brand, so to speak. That’s why millions of $s are poured into promotion. To buy something is to show support for it. Prime example, this whole Chick A Fil (WTF it is) day. I don’t by rihanna because her talent is limited, her behavior is deplorable, and her Ronnie Hoe Quotes are asinine. To buy her album is to imply that I condone her behavior, and I refuse to do it. If this fuckery is true, I’m going to have to lump Usher into this category. I’ve always been a fan of Usher’s, but I’m a fool for no one.
@ Monica , I would’nt want to pay her child support either, when i’m the one that provides for my kids anyway, I’d rather have custody of my kids.
So, let’s say that he is granted sole custody of their boys. Is he willing to scale back on the studio time, engagements, and tours? Of course not, because that would mean less income for him. So instead of hiring people to raise your kids for you, why not leave them in the care of their mother? I can see seeking joint custody, but not sole. I understand the whole child support argument, but he will lose more in the long run by keeping them from their mother. Those boys will grow up to resent him for acting a fool towards their mother.
I don’t believe all of this mess either. And with the court situation you still have to go through the process whether he want’s to let it go or not. I don’t believe you can say "oh I don’t want to do it anymore" and they say ok you can go home.. please. The situation has been started and they will go through the process to finish it even if the stipulations are diffrent.
Somehow…I don’t think this is accurate. I doubt that right after his ex-wife buried her son that they would just pick up where they left off. I can’t and won’t believe this.
Whats wrong with a man wanting his kids??? If anything, the tragedy of the death of his stepson should and would only want to push a man closer to his children!!!
Legally, he has to prove that she is negligent and incompetent to raise her children. They are her children too and I have not read anything relating to her mistreating her children. I feel he wants them because he had the money to afford the attorney’s and keep her in court. Why is he seeking full custody and not an arrangement of shared custody? I feel he is wrong, when she just buried her son and therefore she will fight harder to keep the kids she has left. Bad move Usher, he should try to talk to her adult to adult/parent to parent instead of kicking her while she is down. I have lost respect for him on this one.
They already have joint custody…
He shouldn’t give up on getting his boys, he should just postpone…….she is probally not in her rite frame of mind so it really isn’t fair. Let her get her mind rite first instead of taking advantage of her while she grieving.
People should be happy the man wants custody.If he didn’t want custody and to take care of his kids.Then everybody woulda been walking around with their lip poked out calling him a dead beat dad,WHICH ONE IS IT PEOPLE!!!!
Common sense.
The case should have been dropped PERIOD!!!!! There is no way he should he be moving forward to take custody, they already have a joint arrangement now. He is just thinking of his self and what he and his old fat girlfriend may want. I read that shes barren. Explains a lot with this case against Tameka. Usher is a fool to continue this trial against his sons mother, they will not like this one bit when they grow older. Smh
Umm, just wanted to let you know that you’re dumb.
You don’t drop a custody case because another child died. One has nothing to do with the other. Because one of her children died, now she needs custody of the children more than Usher does?
Also, to insinuate that his new girlfriend is barren… How is that relevant? It’s most definitely not classy, tactful, or even an intelligent argument.
Go read a book. I read blogs for fun, but you my dear need to stay away and get a grip on reality.
Lol, you just made me laugh so hard.
Because one of her children died, now she needs custody of the children more than Usher does?
———————
YES!
I can’t believe people actually condone this man pursuing custody when her son hasn’t been in the ground a damn week!
Barren or not grace has a kid.
@Audrey Middelton…..u said a mouth full sistah/luv iti
No matter when he resumed his fight for his kids folks would say its to soon it was tragic but he has to do what’s best for him.and his boys
[…] SFTA – Usher Restarts Custody Battle Against Tameka Foster […]
I don’t believe this. He doesn’t seem like that type of a coldhearted bastard. If the court date was already in place, of course they still have to show up. I can see Usher relaxing some of his requirements, but even if he doesn’t, no matter how sad and unfortunate this is, he still has a right to fight for his kids.
This post right here is some bs. Even the way it is reported sounds like some Tameka Foster pr team vicious attack on Usher. First of all she is Ushers Ex Wife, why does he have to do more than the father who was married to her longer? Oh because he’s usher and he is a gazillionaire right. Another thing, how could usher’s money save his life? It was a decision to take him off of life support. Usually when a tragic accident happens and leaves someone a vegetable, your buying time to let reality sit in and realize that it’s better to let God take him cause he is done with him on this earth. Why are y’all acting like Usher is to blame? Hell no he’s not answering her calls, he moved on. He doesn’t want to give her the impression that, now we will get back together. He wants his kids and he wants her to understand that he’s completely moved on. She’s bitter and all the commenters and Michelle (Sandra rose sister) are just bitter women that are delusional to when a man doesn’t want you, and has moved on. All he wants is his kids, one because he loved them and two because he suck of being a carpet to Tameka jjust cause she has his kids. I feel sad for the situation, a beautiful child lost and that’s the saddest thing that could ever happen, but Tameka is evil, has been for a long time. I was hoping that after this horrible accident that she would change her ways, but giving this post I see she back to her natural ways again
Kile was not taken off of life support…fact check please!!! His heart stopped…he died.
Kile was taken off of life support. I’m sure no one wants to say that is the decision that was made. A life support victim is kept alive by a machine. As long as that machine was running, it kept his heart going. When the machine stopped, his heart stopped. #KeepingItReal
KILE died from HEART FAILURE…yes I know this to be a fact.
Kile was NOT taken off life support.
He died as a result of heart failure which frequently happens to people who are brain dead and are on life support.
What, did she ring your doorbell and punch you in the face? How do you know she’s evil? High school classmate, maybe?
You’d have to be death, blind & stupid not to know she’s evil. It is what it is. Sorry!
I’ll take that as a no.
Deaf, BTW. lol. As MJ says, "I say it with love."
you can never give up on your kids. she would do the same thing. they’re his kids too and this was going on before that tragic accident. maybe tameka will b less spitefull this time around and handle thingslike a WOMAN not a money hungry bitter bitch!
Food for thought- Why would a man who soul his soul to the devil give a fuck #Illuminati is feel people open your damn minds and stop praising these celebs or anything other than your heavenly father
I think @Jonas said it all LOL!
Can’t be mad at him for manning up
They need to delay the pre-scheduled court battle for at least 2 or 3 months to allow Tameka to grieve privately and get herself together emotionally. This is not the time to fight for custody.
I’m at a loss for words on this one. All I can say is he felt at one point she was good enough to have 2 children with, now that the situation is bad he’s saying she is a bad mother & wants full custody?? I’m on the fence… Is she really a bad mother like that or is he being a jerk. Someone help me understand.
Mzzzzz, THERE IT IS, RIGHT THERE! THANK YOU!!
Tameka has been sub tweeting about Usher on Twitter since their divorce and when someone calls her on it she goes off, blocks them and then deletes the tweets. Someone explain to me how you bash someone and expect them to come to your rescue because you need money and because they have it, they have to give it you. HELL NO, that’s called using someone. Again they’re divorced and although it would have been an awesome gesture for Usher to have paid for the funeral expenses because he was Kile’s Stepfather he is not obligated to.
So is that why you got blocked? Yes, she did tweet about him a lot, overtly and covertly. I’m sure that she endured some shit that she probably STILL have nightmares about though. Usher could probably say the same, but not like her I’m sure.
If he attended the funeral because of the media, why did he make sure not to be seen by the media, dumbass? That’s probably actually why he didn’t talk to the family, he did not want to be seen and take away from the situation. I think he was respectful. As for the court case, time will tell.
He was seen by the media DUMBASS…check out Eonline…there is his photo from the funeral

Usher is a BItch point blank, I saw that 12 years ago & I do not believe that Tamika is a fucked up mom for him 2 want full custody. By the way doesn’t he go on tour every year? Joint custody sounds just fine.
[…] Read more at StraightFromTheA […]
No he shouldn’t stop. I believe they each need custody. Good luck usher
If anything this would be the perfect time to mediate..going forward with the case makes no sense for either parties at this time..As this is family court they can very well ask for a stay to a pre determined time by the courts due to this tragedy..that i snot ungeard of and both parties would agree to it i’m sure.
I don’t believe that at all! When did you get on the "I believe Tameka Foster Glover Raymond" train? SMDH
Like I said before, Tameka’s haggard ass ain’t slick! Ush doesn’t owe her anything. She has a false sense of entitlement and all he’s doing is lettin her ass know she ain’t got shit coming. He is not married to her and is not obligated to pay for anything, especially her other kids. I’m sad about what happened to her son, but that doesnt have a damn thing to do with Usher. That’s why he stayed out of the way. He has every intention of getting full custody of his sons, and theres no reason why he shouldn’t. Not saying the accident was Tameka’s fault, but clearly, somethin in the milk aint clean. Usher is striking while the iron is hot. While she’s always on vacay and buying weaves and whatever else, she better be stackin her coins cuz Usher is comin for them babies. His that is.
[…] custody battle against Tameka Raymond. Sources are calling out Usher for being insensitive and told Straight From the A that even though Usher showed up for Kile’s funeral he didn’t speak to anyone or offer […]
Pray for this family Ya’ll. This is just a sad situation all around. My heartfelt prayer to everyone as they go through this process. They both seem to have a "nickle in that dime" so I hope they can make peace with one another.
Who said that Usher was milking this for sympathy, unless he controls all the media sites and news outlets, it was you all who kept driving the Usher stepson story. It was even you all who said he attended the funeral and stayed out of spotlight "rightfully so". Now you all are on him because he left early. Everyone can’t take sitting threw a childs funeral. Now his PR camp leaked the story. Sorry but reliable source isn’t going to cut it, if you all are going to try to damage this man character anymore than it already is, I need some credible proof. I am in no way team Usher or team Tameka but life doesn’t stop when someone passes. Granted it would of been nice if he would of waited some but real talk, if he is listening to his team, who is all about winning, this is the best time to go after her as she is emotional and in a financial strain. Actually dragging out the case would cost most money so he can actually argue that he is saving her money as she can’t afford to keep postponing. It can hurt him or help him and the bottom line is no one knows his intentions but him.
Right, if he was milking this for sympathy, he would be other there making his presence known during this tragic event, hitting the media, making statements. Instead Usher has stood still, stayed in the background. Has not commented, etc. I guess this is a clear case of "you damned if you do, you damned if you don’t"

Michelle, Michelle, Michelle! Either you think your readers lack good common sense or you’re really feigning for attention. Whichever it is, don’t get me wrong. The tragedy that happened in Tameka’s life no one would wish on their worst enemy.
NOW – regarding this lil Usher bashing article you don’ sat up here and concocted…U need to quit. I’m wondering why when it comes to Tameka everything is always "MESSY" – it it weren’t for Tameka drama, drama & mo drama, Usher’s bags would be neatly packed. Somehow I think your "source" is as you would call it #TeamTameka (which it’s rather childish to say you’re team anybody…Heck, I’m #TeamMe). I think Usher has given more than any man has been asked to give in a situation like this. He let Tameka live in his house, took care of the expenses, after she constantly bashes him, bashes & abuses his fans …. He gave Tameka enough rope to hang herself. Dont get me wrong now, I feel really bad for her & her loss, dont get that twisted, but she’s evil & you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out. I wouldn’t trust her as far as I could see her, I would do exactly as Usher is doing, continue to "GET HIS KIDS" … Evil people dont have the right to raise their kids because kids adopt those types of traits. Usher wants his kids to have a normal, drama free life, like the one Grace could possibly provide for them. They are young, so he’s doing the right thing. These kids belong with dad. Let mom be messy alone.
And Michelle…Tell me again why you’re mad at Grace & have to resort to calling her "old" … I have no doubt Tameka threatened to kill Usher & Grace, and didn’t just say "I’ll fuck you up" … Either way, wrong! Tameka’s narcissistic behavior will ruin those kids for life. It looks like Grace knows how to be with someone in the spotlight … keeps it drama free … And Tameka?? (how fast you forget about the threatening email you received). Hmmmm….
Wow. I haven’t always been a fan of Usher’s, so I’m not 100% pro Usher/con Tameka or vice versa, but I will say this…as far as her bashing his fans, have you seen the shit they leave on her twitter page? I’d go ham, too.
He needs to be taken out in the street, stripped naked and pelted with sharp pebbles….Him, Chris Bosh, Lil Scrappy and ALL the other no good, dead beat A-Hole sperm donors out there
If he need it, then Tameka do too! Let’s just keep it all real.
We don’t belive you! You need more people!!!
Sigh…some of you sound like you are in a Ush Cult!!! NONE of you know him or Tameka for that matter but I have read "I dont think that he would do this" "but didnt Usher do this for her" "and what about when Usher did that for her"…SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!! You dont know him and he dont know you!! Well…"Tameka is a this" "Tameka left her kids" AGAIN SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!! Hop off the celebrity/media train and worry about your own business. If this post is true…sad. If not…SO WHAT…dont read it. Some of you go from site to site putting 1 and 2 together to come up with what "really happened" and half of it is all lies. You hating on Tameka WHY… because she blocked you on twitter?! SHe should have!!! I dont EVER think a mother or a father should have full custody UNLESS one of them is unfit…he doesnt deserve full custody because he is trying to "man up" taking care of his kids is what he is SUPPOSED to do. If it’s a house, a car, a million dollars…if he can afford to do so WHY NOT?! "Oh but he chartered a plane to get her to her son" HOW DO YOU KNOW…TMZ…or did you fly the plan yourself?!
I feel enough is enough with bashing folks based off of things that you dont even know to be true. Tameka has gotten a terrible name because she is a "gold digger" based on WHAT the fact that Usher ran up in her at least twice and now has to support his kids?! Get over it people!!! When will we learn to support each other instead of tearing each other down? I read something on a "site" the other day that really made me think…while we hating on each other…they hating on us…all WE get is HATE…
So I have taken it upon myself to post some real comments from another site just to show you how hate REALLY looks…
*This was a comment in relation to her son’s funeral…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THIS UNGRATEFUL,BLACK,GHETTO,GOLD DIGGER TRASHBAG SHOULDVE BEEN THE ONE IN THE COFFIN. SHE KEEPS TRYING TO TAKE USHER’S MONEY. HOW TYPICAL OF A BLACK WOMAN? UUGH I KNOW MOST BLACK CHICKS ARE UGLY NAPPY HEADS,BUT SHE LOOKS LIKE A TRANNY IN THE FACE. BUT THEN AGAIN WHO HONESTLY BELIEVES USHER IS A STRAIGHT MAN?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Here is another one from the same site…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHO DA HELL CARES!! THIS BLACK WOMAN NAMED TAMEKA IS ONLY THERE FOR THE CAMERAS!! SHE COULD CARELESS ABOUT THIS LITTLE RAISIN!!!
IT’S UNFORTUNATE HE HAS TO HAVE A BLACK MOTHER BUT WHEN THESE BLACK KIDS DO MAJORITY DON’T MAKE IT PAST 16!!! BLACK MOTHERS ARE THE WORST!! THE BLACK RACE HAS SO MANY CASUALTIES BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF MOTHERS BLACK WOMEN ARE!!!
GIVE BLACK KIDS TO THE WHITE PARENTS PLEASE!!!
MY MOMMA SAID: BLACK WOMEN NOWADAYS AIN’T $H%T!! FIND YOURSELF A WHITE QUEEN OR ONE OF THOSE PRETTY WOMEN OF ANOTHER RACE!! SHE DON’T WANT NO NAPPY HEADED UGLY BLACK KIDS!! SHE WANT HER GRAND KIDS TO BE BEAUTIFUL, NONE OF THAT MONKEY ISH!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My point…let’s stop adding to the hatered that is already very real and very much so alive. If you cant pray for Usher, Tameka and their family then at least dont speak negative about them. I am a damn good BLACK woman/wife/mother and it’s my job to teach my son to love himself, love others and to not be judgemental over someone elses affairs…because karma is real…while you juding them someone is going through your dirty laundry getting ready to expose you…AND the very person you get exposed to dont like any of you!!
STOP THE HATE…STOP SPREADING LIES THAT YOU DONT KNOW TO BE TRUE…STOP BELIEVING EVERYTHING YOU READ OR HEAR ABOUT SOMEONE…STOP.
Pray for this mother, father, kids…lift them up not join the world in tearing them down…to some you are just a mere "monkey" on a puppet string…cut the cord and free yourself from the hate.
I think the writing of this article was insensitive and meant to stir up some unnecessary shi**** from someone who is suppose to be "sympathetic" toward Tameka at this time. I mean, really Michelle, why write it & why now! I think #TeamUsher & #TeamTameka (your elementary school terms) came together for a quick second. Then you, Michelle, said F* that…Imma stir up some non-"sensicle" BS for the hells of it. I’m questioning your motives now Michelle. What say you?
You always keep it real.
Directed at Vay lol
@Vay. Wow those comments that you reposted are something else. The interesting thing is, for all we know the person who posted those comments may not even be African American. On the internet the biggest cowards become the biggest bullies. The people who wrote those comments need to find Jesus.
I really dont care what race the people who wrote the comments were…there were many many more I just selected those two to display HATRED…which comes in all colors…it needs to stop I dont care what color the people are. BUT we must first stop hating on each other as a race before we worry about hate coming from outside of our race.
I thank you Vay for your words of wisdom. Unfortunately, the commentators under the post missed the mark. This is why a lot of activist get frustrated in their efforts. I personally have been procrastinating on filling out my university application for an higher degree and find myself time and again on this site reading comments that are irrelevant to me. I say that to say this until we get ourselves to together and find substance in our own life, hate is all that one can put forth. All this hate regardless of race is unnecessary and uncalled for. Once again I thank you for your post and won’t return until I have do what needs to be done to better myself.
"until we get ourselves together and find substance in our own life, hate is all that one can put forth"
Such wise words…
The people on here are serious like they REALLY know these people that is what trips me out when the reality is while they are focusing on blog, media and PR lies they are losing themselves!!! I commend you for taking the next steps to better you. I pray that you master every class, has more then enough finances to cover what you need and that your career will soar to new heights like never before in the name of Jesus. May he cover your mind, ears, and eyes to stay focus on the things that he has for you..I speak blessings upon blessings in your life. You have blessed me with your support and therefore I speak blessings over you…KARMA is not always bad.
WELL SAID
I pray God have mercy on the entire situation. I think Tameka should be allowed to greeve the lost of her son, though she will never get over the lost of her child. We are on the outside looking in. We all have to face a higher judge oneday. I feel noone wins in a situation like this, the children are the ones suffering. My prayers are with them all. Be blessed all
Best comment thus far.
If the children are not in harms way whats wrong with joint custody? Did Tameka beat em or sumthin??? I never read that. Frankly the whole custody battle sounds more personal than beneficial for the children. The kids are probably an afterthought in all this turmoil. They just need to be parents no one needs more power then the other.
Co sign.
Now here’s my 2 cents and then I’m done, cuz I’ve been replying to everyone else & said most of what I had to say, except this:
I thought it was weired that Usher has not posted about Kyle except right after his accident, when he asked people to pray for his extended family. After his passing I went to look for something said. All I found were posts on his secondary account telling people to follow some stripper-like chick, asking for twerking videos, and posting some big ass in a G string. I assumed it was out of respect for Ryan he was being quiet. This story offers a new twist.
In spite of some of my replies, I don’t think this story is true. I think this is one of Tameka’s friends talking sideways. I also think that they first have to report to court to drop the case, which is likely why it’s still scheduled. Like someone said, only time will tell.
I would encourage people to educate themselves on the difference b/wn full and joint custody. Of course Usher should be in their lives. That’s what a father’s SUPPOSED TO DO. With their current joint custody, he is.
Lets work on being prayerful instead of judgemental. As far as my being snappy, I apologize; I’m a bitch on wheels the wk before my cycle lol Leaving before my head start spinning, cuz some of these posts…Oohwee!!
Michelle and her stories. 1st, why would she call usher for money, that wasn’t his child and he has his own father? Must be a very slow news week for Michelle, oh I forgot Real Housewives not on lol
Well if the story in fact is true its a sad day. Life is to short for all that drama why not share custody 50/50. Truth be told Usher is an entertainer and will have nannies helping raise the boys.
where is kyles father ? the court date was already given. why was fathers friend with kyle ¬ his dad. as a mom its hard 2 go on vac &leave them with a friend . just saying
sigh lol Kile was with his father and step mother. MOTHERS do deserve to go on vacation and although I am sure she regret not being with her baby going to that Lake was something he did with his dad, step mom, and family often WITHOUT his biological mom.
It’s like Ground Hog Day sometimes, ain’t it? lol. After 2 hard days at work, I’m going to bed for some much needed rest. Hopefully I’ll wake up with a life lol.
Sidebar* I never understood why people on blogs comment on other people minding their business, being haters and having no life. Aren’t we all in the same damn place?
Pot. Kettle. BLACK
Someone has to be Responsible!
This man canceled something and didn’t tweet not nothing during that whole time but breakfast one day. I don’t believe this and hope its not true.
He has another twitter account, gwen.
Terrible. Shame on Usher.
i dont believe this one at all sorry!

This article seems TOTALLY biased. You write this as if you have concrete proof but all you speak about is a "source". This is irresponsible journalism at its finest. Why don’t you go and find the court docket and see if there is indeed a date for them to go to court. If so, isn’t it probable that the date was set prior to this tragedy? Did you ever stop to think that maybe Tameka didn’t WANT Usher at her sons funeral and that maybe she didn’t reach out to Usher for help? Why don’t you try to stay neutral in an already terrible situation. What we DON’T need is another website like Media.Take.Out.
amen, same thing i said!
[…] custody battle against Tameka Raymond. Sources are calling out Usher for being insensitive and told Straight From the A that even though Usher showed up for Kile’s funeral he didn’t speak to anyone or offer […]
People: Study abusive patterns–Usher fits the profile of an abuser and master manipulator. I have to agree with the author of this article–she knows what she is talking about and can see through Usher and his PR team’s BS! I have nothing but prayers headed Tameka’s way. What kind of man takes the kids from a mother? If Usher didn’t have the fame or money he does, people wouldn’t even question this foolery. Look past the fame and fortune and see the situation for what it really is. Tameka: hang in there, God will see you through this.
Yes, lets remove the celebrity aspect. I always say you can tell how a man treats his woman by the way he treats his mother. I’ve seen him interact w/ his mom. He admitted L A Reid told him to not ever let him hear Usher "talk like that" to his mom again. I hope fatherhood is improving his sensitivity. Both he & Tameka love those boy, clearly.
They should have 50/50 custody. That is the right thing to do for the children sake. And they have to put their need aside and whatever their issues may be between them. I cannot even imagine the pain that Tameka is going through right now. The media on the other hand wanted to sell stories and therefore they hardly mentioned Kyles real father. Tragic but so typical media. Usher did the right thing by keeping a low profile. I don’t understand really why Ushers fans are being so mean to Tameka? She fell in love, they married and it did not work out. She lost her reputation, the man of her dreams and now a child and people still judge her as the evil b*! This woman must havethe strength of a horse to be able to cope with all this shit on top of every other daily basis in life. Is his new boo that much better, really? Both cheated behind their spouses back and than filed for a divorce and her achivement is to hook up with celeberties. I guess they two deserve eachother, but don’t picture Tameka as the evil one all the time she did nothing wrong except fallen in love with the wrong man. Most important, I do not think it is right to take full custody, a child needs both parents.
WOW…COUGH COUGH…UMMM..THIS STORY IS VERY VERY ONE SIDED! NONE OF IT I BELIEVE , EXCEPT FOR THE COURT DATE, BECAUSE IM SURE IT WAS SET "BEFORE" KILE DIED! NOW…UM…ATLIEN…ARE YOU MAD AND JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU IN FACT WANT USHER FOR YOURSELF? WHAT IS ALL THE HATE TOWARDS USHER? FIRST OF ALL , WHO IS YOUR SO CALLED CREDIBLE SOURCE, WHO WOULD BE SO MEAN AS TO EVEN TALK ABOUT USHER TAMEKA AND ALL THAT IS INVOLVED AFTER SUCH A TRAGIC DEATH…YOU SHOULDN’T EVEN BE MENTIONINT TAMEKA RIGHT NOW, LET HER GRIEVE AND HAVE HER PRIVACY! YOUR SOURCE IS A LIAR, WHY WOULD TAMEKA ASK USHER FOR MONEY WHEN SHE HAS HER OWN MONEY AND KILES FATHER HAS MONEY?! YOU NEED TO GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU GO POSTING BULLSHIT!

I feel sorry for what’s to come for him, he is going straight to hell for this. Watch his life fall apart right before your eyes. He has cursed himself. God despises ugly. I wouldn’t buy his music again if you paid me. Typical negro.
what is he suppose to do? I’m sure this court day was already planned. What bothers me is this woman has babies by all these ballers, and maybe she is just using these two little boys as a paycheck. I’m sorry for her loss, and he may not have been Kile’s father, but he’s obligated to be in those boys lives.
Rest in Peace to Kile but life has to eventually go on.
Keep going with it.
IT’s ajust a bit too soon. I don’t think people realise how devastating /debilitating losing a child is, smh.
Hmm…kind of soon but if the man wants his kids then he should fight for them. I just hope they dont continue with all the ugliness.
It’s kinda like a slap in da face…let the woman grieve a lil more without having to deal with this bs. I thought Ursher lol was better than that
Oh well life goes on….

Palease. Hopefully she NOW realizes the importance of family and why Usher should be in his kids lives.
Keep going with the procedings. I am sorry about her loss, but she had motives of making babies with prominient people. Life goes on.
Life waits for no one. I’m sure Usher’s kids are just as important to him as Kyle is to her.
SMH at this entire story. Mostly everything that can be said for either side had been said. Well, at least, the "Very Credible Source" was able to go to sleep last night with a huge smile on their face. This source was able to get their story published and Operation Take Down Usher is in full effect. Whatever Usher decides to do and when he decides to do it is his concern. He is only obligated to do what he feels is in the best interests of his sons.
Usher just don’t want to pay her anything……maybe the can work out joint custody
*Sorry for the typos moving fast…. Not to mention Usher didnt even respond to any of this on twitter of through the Media..I sure he was upset his name was involved in the first place.Usher is not her personal ATM and STFA is just Tamekas voice when she wants to Dog Usher for Not being there for her. Ummmm..He doesn’t have to be. Usher was set up from the get go. So yes he should fight for her kids.This bitch didnt care about Usher she Popped out two babys back to back faster than light and now she has No Man,No Son, and Two Kids she is about to lose to Usher and Grace…All because of what?????? The Love of Money….Sad But True…Have a nice day.

And you cant spell for shit. so your whole post is null and void for dumbness. I read that Usher gave Tamika a ring on Valentines day, their son was born in late November she couldnt have been preggers in Feb 14th.???? Or have known that she was, your theory is stupid and your spelling really sucks balls.
hahahahahaha @ Nelle stoooooooooooooop.
This chick said Kile died because his mother was out of town doing the most!! ACTUALLY…I think this is that chick that was sitting on Ush steps talking about she was his wife…crazy much!!
Girl, if you didn’t have this woman in the waiting room looking at me like I lost my damn mind when I read this! lol. Laughter truly is good for the soul.
hahahahaha sometime you just have to laugh at these folks…they SWEAR they know Usher personally. I have gotten a good laugh off of some of these folks.
When your child is damn near dead, you’d make a deal with the Devil if you thought it could save him.
As for the Comments the lady reposted..Im a black woman.As we are potrayed in Reality Tv Programs and Act as a people, Im embarrassed to be black at times.Seriously, We don’t need to stand together for what is Wrong,But we need to stand together for what is RIGHT. I will Never stand by a Woman that trapped a man for money. Usher Married Tameka after she came up pregnant.A woman knows when they are VERY fertile and she knew Exactly what she was Doing. Cashin out!!! And Then she made it two kids so she would really be in the $$$…. So No Its not like they go married and had kids. Baby bye.Now to add insult to injury she wants to make his life a living hell….I bet he HATES her….She is annoying and so are these Blogs…Real talk..No one is Hating on Tameka she made a bad name for herself …….People arent stupid #Duh Its clear what happened here..She thought she was Smart and played herself…Trapping Usher with two kids she lost one of her own. See God dont like Ugly….God is real…U cannot Do what u want to do without paying the price…You reap what you sow…At this point God is not finished with her..Usher will get the kids and she will be looking for people to style again..Maybe she will move on Bankhead hell I dont know… Maybe the OP’s Downtown Decatur…Westend…..Anyway..Im out…
I am assuming you are talking to me…my question to you is WHOSE "right" are you standing by…I can understand you being embarrassed at times to be black because I am actually embarrassed for YOU. Let me clear something up for you I dont care how FERTILE Tameka was/is she could have NEVER gotten pregnant without Usher getting her pregnant. She didnt steal his sperm she had sex with a man that could have very well loved her and wanted to have kids with her at that time!!! If he didnt want to have kids with her he should have protected himself OR he didnt have to have sex with her. You got that?! Stop the BS and get real!!! SO the only thing that is clear here is that you are either jealous of what you cant have or are a HATER…u pick. I wish you folks would just stop it…one day his kids will be old enough to surf the web and I would hate for them to see all this ignorant mess about their parents.
More importantly then anything PLEASE do a self check on your own words…you are right GOD dont like ugly and you just spoke some very ugly words over a woman that you dont even know…GOD IS LOVE…so if you chose to go the "GODLY" route please dont let the devil steer you. You also say "GOD is not finished with her" I pray that he is not DONE with YOU either as you need a lot of prayer…YOU need JESUS my friend!!! Stop the madness…"woman"

I follow her on twitter and she seems to really be a great Mom;regardless of her motives or financial gains…losing 3 children in one year would be devastating to ANY MOTHER! Usher trynna make a comeback, he ain’t got time to be nurturing like a mother. Cut the shit Usher before you lose fans should you drive this lady crazy with this craziness. #postponeplease
I agree
Right. If he thought she was crazy before, try stripping her of parental rights after she just buried a son. No security in the world would be able to stop her.
PER TMZ…A lie..Usher was AT the Funeral…
Usher didn’t care about his ex-wife’s dead son … blew off his funeral … and is only PRETENDING to be affected by the tragedy to court sympathy from the media and his fans … this according to the singer’s ex-wife.
Tameka Raymond’s lawyer has filed new documents in the couple’s bitter child custody war … slamming Usher … who asked the court to delay the next hearing in light of the death of Tameka’s son, Kile, who was killed in a jet ski accident.
In his request, Usher claims he’s worried the hearing would cause "unnecessary stress and strain" for both himself, Tameka and their two minor children "in the immediate wake of this tragedy."
Usher also claims Tameka would get an unfair advantage in the hearing because the court would not want to rule against a woman who is still grieving the death of her son. Usher fears he could lose custody of the children and believes it would be unfair to him.
But Tameka claims Usher is full of crap … and in docs of her own, insists U’s claims of suffering "stress and strain" are "BOGUS."
In fact, she claims Usher didn’t care about her son at all in his final days — even though Usher regarded him as a son back when they were married.
"[Usher] visited Kile in the hospital only once" during his 15 days on life support … Tameka claims.
She also claims she had begged Usher to tweet a message about her son, "Please pray for Kile" … but he refused. Instead, Tameka claims, Usher’s next tweet was a photo of his own breakfast with the caption, "Breakfast of Champions."
In her docs, Tameka claims Usher’s attempt to postpone the hearing is "simply a transparent sham" … and asks the judge to DENY Usher’s request and require him to appear at the next scheduled hearing, set for August 13.
She also claims resolving the custody battle is the only way for her to heal and move forward with her life.
@2Bme What’s your point in cutting and pasting an entire post from TMZ? There’s nothing TMZ said that I haven’t already said.
I TOLD Y’ALL Usher only visited Kile once in the hospital… (check)
I TOLD Y’ALL Usher was at the funeral… (check)
**you may want to revisit my KILE GLOVER FUNERAL POST
I TOLD Y’ALL that Usher is proceeding with the custody battle even after his camp said he tried to SETTLE… (check)
So regardless of any reports of him trying to postpone the hearing, the fact remains that USHER IS STILL MOVING FORWARD with the custody.
Thank you so much for proving that TMZ follows my every word.
Deuces!
LOL

==============================
Now THIS I can absolutely believe.
actually that wasn’t supposed to be posted on here but to another blog..it is what it is..more power to them all
This is like reading something from the Enquirer a lot of bs to push your viewer numbers up. Let’s get some facts, because I’m not believing any of this story. Not one single word!
Has anyone ever thought that these could all be bogus leaks and that neither party is really saying anything. The only thing that may be true is that the custody hearing is going to resume. IJS!
Definitely shows where his heart is.
I am not one to subscribe to emotions and would strongly urge people to review the FACTS, sans emotions. FACT: Kile was injured while in the care, custody and control of Tamika, doing activities which she condoned. FACT: It was an accident and accidents happen (so I am not blaming her). FACT: Usher is NOT Kile’s father. FACT: Kile’s father and mother are financially responsible for his medical bills; so why did she call Usher in the first place? FACT: Tamika is KNOWN to use her kids to get money from both ex husbands and plays on their sympathy with her victim songs – which is how she convinced Usher to date and marry her in the first place. FACT: Women DO NOT own the cornerstone on pain! Usher is a man scorned and responding accordingly. This man has put his career and relationship with his mother on the line to defend the honor of a dishonorable woman. He continues to recover from losses (both emotionally and financially) suffered while married to her. I know that she just lost her son; but does that mean that we assuage all of her misgiving and exonerate her of the strategic trapping games she plays. It’s REAL interesting that folks never recognize karma when it’s happening to them… Usher NOT being there for her is indicative of who SHE is and moreover, who SHE is NOT – and she is NOT his responsibility.
Usher is a gentleman and loving to the core of his being. His perspective is so far beyond his years and he fully owns that and those for which he is responsible. He’s generous and open hearted. He is a GROWN ASS MAN and Tamika’s biggest mistake was taking his kindness for weakness; because weak, he is NOT.
You do realize your FIRST "FACT" was incorrect…is the "fact check" button not working on your computer?! hahahaha
This man has put his career and relationship with his mother on the line to defend the honor of a dishonorable woman.
=================
And the fact that he did so indicates that he wasn’t trapped. He was in love (so he thought) and made his decision based upon that.
From your comments, you appear to know him personally. Am I right? (and I’m asking geniunely…not trying to be a smart ass or anything. It just seems like you do).
Elle Michelle = Grace Harry Miguel Blah Blah Blah… Who else would be singing his praises but a current girlfriend?? LOL You will soon learn little lady.
Girl, I thought that too. Or his sidepiece of a bridesmaid.
lol! i am not, nor have i ever been his girlfriend.
I just read on TMZ that Usher wanted to delay the custody battle but Tameka wanted to continue and said his grief was fake. Something doesn’t seem right about the fight between these too.
I’m not trying to sound callous here but Tamkea and Usher aren’t married anymore??? Kile technically wasn’t his stepson anymore…He doesn’t/didn’t have to pay any of his medical expenses???Isn’t that why he has a father??This story sounds biased and petty as hell. I believe that they are BOTH trivial as hell for letting this shit go on without reaching some type of joint custody agreement..
It’s very, very unfortunate that Kile passed. However, that has nothing to do with Usher and Tameka’s issues related to their children. From all reports, Tameka is a vindictive woman who has been uncapable of being a suitable mate to any of the men she’s been with but doesn’t want to let poor Usher walk away. She wants to live the fabulous life of being Usher’s wife when she’s not.
Like other people have posted, Usher didn’t have to rush her to her son’s side but it was very kind of him to do. He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. One day media says he’s getting too much attention, it’s not his son. He lays low and they say he’s a turd who doesn’t care about the woman’s dying son. Usher and Tameka were just in court where she was accusing him of being a bad dad to his own kids, REALLY what universe are people living on that the is now supposed to garner some kind of loving position to be able to comfort this woman who didn’t care about the havoc she wrecked btwn usher and his mom?
I could go on and on for days b/c I have friends who knew Tameka when they were in school who said she’s always been a paper chaser. Still feel sorry for her losing a son. But, that doesn’t make her a nice person.
Tameka is a vindictive woman who has been uncapable of being a suitable mate to any of the men she’s been with but doesn’t want to let poor Usher walk away.
==================
Are you familiar with "poor Usher’s" track record?
According to what your friends have to say, whenever you’re ready to talk I’m all ears! I’m the type of person who don’t dislike someone because it’s the popular thing to do; I like indisputable info to make an accurate decision.
Its nothing wrong with it he should
Number 1… Kile Glover was Usher’s step-son and kids don’t usually forget a close family member just because an adults divorce takes place. Usher has 4 MILLION Twitter followers and he definitely should have tweeted prayer requests, get wells and rest in peace to his 11 year old former step-son and young sons blood BROTHER!!! It is rude of him to have been tweeting about his f-ing "Breakfast of Champions" and birthday shout outs during a time when I’m sure Kile’s whole family couldn’t eat or sleep!! Usher was out riding his motorbike the very next day with some fat high- yellow chick (assumably Grace???) the very day after the funeral in LA? How was he out riding with ‘dis-Grace’ if he was at the funeral in Atlanta? Number #2…. Usher is one of the most paid R&B artist- from what I read this week so why wouldn’t he want to help the family with his sons BROTHER funeral or hospital bills. Its only money and he has it. Whats the use of making money if not for helping others?? That’s why people go broke or bankrupt. I digress. Usher is a conceited, arrogant, bell pepper nose, pubic hair (on his head), short little buster. I know his kind, he thinks the world revolves around HIM and doesn’t care about others pain. His interviews show this. Watch and read them. He only talks about his kids for press ops and philantrophy for tax breaks, its all fake and phony bologna. He is full of crap, I’m glad her shark lawyer sees through his shit and responded to his phony sob filing. Why is he trying to take the kids away from her anyways?? Think about that, its only about money he probably doesn’t want to pay for the kids to her. What a grade "A" clown!!!! His action since this custody case have turned me off and this just confirms what I felt about him. Who read the Sugar Ray interviews? Ughhh, disgusting! I pray she wins against his cunning, arrogant self.
@ Nelle…besides some of the name calling I totally agree with this.
Damn, Vay, get out of my head!!
First of all, why y’all keep calling Grace fat? lol Nice play on her name (adding the ‘dis’- I have issues with homewreckers, men and women), and the bell pepper nose? I’m sure my neighbors heard me howling out loud in laughter. Yeah, I sense a smugness about him as well, but bell pepper nose or not, he’s still fine lol.
Couldn’t pay me to date him though…I’m not a glutton for punishment. Takes a strong woman, I’m sure.
And in conclusion, Tameka’s ugly ass will STAY losing. I too also said numerous times that this was not over. She stays mad and hating on Usher and Grace. Usher is happy with his relationship while her tired ass doesn’t have one. No man wants to deal with her funky ass attitude. She wants Usher to be as miserable as she is and is mad as hell that it’s not working.
Real Ish, do happy men cheat, though? I don’t think they do. While I don’t condone how the relationship started (and really, my opinion-OUR opinions don’t mean shit anyway), I like the fact that he’s maintained a relationship for over two years. It shows SOME maturity. But with the stories of his infidelities during their time together, she’s clearly willing to tolerate some bullshit Tameka wasn’t. Tameka’s biggest mistake was thinking he’d be a different man after marriage. He’s an admitted manwhore.
Actually Tameka did put up with alot,remember HE filed for divorce she was blindsided..think about it, your husband had sex with your bridesmaid while you were still married, yet you stayed with him and only brought it up in the divorce proceedings and now custody..why wasn’t it a deal breaker then?…IMO that tells you she knew what he was capable of, but she had his ring and his children, that made her able to deal with it.."he’s mine, you may have had him once but i have him all the time"….
It wasn’t a deal breaker because she was not there for the dick, she was there for the dollars… so she probably didn’t give a damn who he was sexing…
So, she is mad that the press made such a big deal about her child being Usher’s stepson, But "begged" him for money to cover hospital bills when her son has a father who is alive and well and makes a good living? This chick makes me sick. I would not have visited the hospital more than once either can you imagine the animosity there with her family? He essentially helped break up the first marriage and from all accounts she’s not wrapped to tight. I would keep my distance too. Usher owes her and her family nothing. He only owes his biological children. He paid his respects and helped her get to her son from wherever she was when he was injured. How do you expect the ex-stepfather to do motet an the child’s biological father?
I meant to type "more than" the child’s biological father.
SAY IT! People need to manager their freakin expectations. Just because someone has money doesn’t mean that they have to give it to who ever is asking for it…
[…] custody battle against Tameka Raymond. Sources are calling out Usher for being insensitive and told Straight From the A that even though Usher showed up for Kile’s funeral he didn’t speak to anyone or offer […]
Usher has spoken. From his OFFICIAL twitter account (he does have two)…
I miss you too. Silent is golden moments like that are worth a million expressions. Not sayin much cuz I’m tryin not be #misunderstood. URIV
Hopefully we can end this long ass thread now lol. It has been lively though. Better than any other blog.
This is nonsense. A pack of lies. Usher did a lot for his ex-wife. Furthermore, the child had his own father, who everyone seem to be ignoring. Both natural parents are responsible for expenses and not Usher. Yes it is a very sad situation but let’s put things in prospective.
[…] custody battle against Tameka Raymond. Sources are calling out Usher for being insensitive and told Straight From the A that even though Usher showed up for Kile’s funeral he didn’t speak to anyone or offer […]
And you tell me WHY should he have.
Ok in my opinion all the extra added stuff is what has people riled up..Tameka just responded on Global Grind and she is stating that the court proceedings are going forward and she would rather have continued to mourn her son(not the other way around which TMZ is reporting)…I pray for an amicable solution..neither one will look good after this
I don’t either of them, but here goes my two cents.
Usher already has joint custody, the only rason why he would want full custody is to avoid that big bad monster…CHILD SUPPORT!!!!
That I don’t believe, If and I do say If she is a good mother then he wouldn’t have reason to want full custody. Come on people it is not always the man’s fault, There are plenty of GREEDY women out here, and if Kyle’s father has money then he must be given her support why does she need more, p l e a s e it’d called GREED.
Ok I misspelled the baby’s name (RIP). Kile. Your with GOD now.
The eyes need not be on Usher but on his EX and what she is doing.
Whoop! There it is.
To Marismom lol
I am not buying this one either. First of all Kile’s real father has money so why on earth would they need more money to cover the expenses??? Also the fact that Usher chartered a plane to make sure Tamika got there to be by her sons hospital bed.
I ain’t mad at Usher. You all don’t know the situation with him & Tameka. Only they do! Why should she have a funeral that she couldn’t pay for & where was his dad? He’s the one she should’ve been asking for money. Everybody’s business ain’t nobody’s business. How many brothers want to take care of their kids? How many do? Does your baby daddy do what he’s supposed to or are you fighting him to get crumbs! Do yo thang, Ursher. Life goes on!
Hospital expenses dear, not funeral expenses.
[…] According to Straight From The A!: We feel like the only reason he came at all is because the media kept portraying Kile as “Usher’s stepson.” […]
You know people like to spread shit, the man really really didn’t have to do a thing that was not his son, but he stepped up to the plate and sent his PRIVATE JET to get her to her son, I mean really not only that he offered to pay the medical bills cause she claimes she is broke. Come on read between her lies.
Come on, recognize PR game. I’m not painting Tameka as an innocent, but I have enough sense to know Usher’s no innocent either.

Well, Tameka did release a statement saying the same thing, but you know… if it’s from the white’s it must be right.
The shit is going to backfire in his face . They need to come together and be there for their kids .
I been knew that you were a source for them.
ummm TMZ reported that Usher asked for a delay in the case and that Tameka was the one who wanted to go forward with the case!
He has a right to see his kids. Peoples lives don’t stop because others experience a loss. If her ars is so distraught and looking out for her kids, she shouldn’t prevent him from seeing them. Has she learned nothing.
So um yea…I guess Usher’s PR people Leaked that he chartered a plane for Tameka. Who else would leak that..and making it seemed like he was doing sooo much for Tameka and the family. oh yea by the way ,who has an CD coming out..what great PR..like hes the innocent one. he just dont want to pay child support for his young sons
Nevermind this is the same Usher that fu*k the bridemaid and the nanny. He is a sneaky lil devil…trying to be innocent!
She didn’t file for the custody case though, they had joint custody. What it sounds like to me is that Usher is tired of paying out child support ot something shady.
The judge said no delay, according to TMZ, not Usher.
