The pair returned to Atlanta’s Fulton County courthouse yesterday, where Usher took the stand in his quest to seek SOLE CUSTODY of their two young sons.
Tameka,who is still recovering from the death of her 11 year old son, Kile, sat quietly throughout Usher’s cross-examination.

The R&B superstar talked about his stalker issues and his revealed his intentions of taking the boys with him during his European tour in 2013.
Details + Photos/Video below…
For the record Usher and Tameka currently share JOINT custody of 4-year-old Usher Raymond V and 3-year-old Naviyd. They currently have a co-parenting agreement, which Tameka pointed out in her official statement last week.
[READ: Tameka Raymond Wants You To Know... (Statement re: Custody Battle)]
Tameka’s attorney referenced Usher’s worldwide work schedule, which would surely interrupt the singer’s parenting time.
The boys would most likely be with Nanny’s throughout their time spent with their father, however Usher seems to feel that’s better than them being with Tameka, who he says is not producing an itinerary and following their court-ordered agreement.
“It’s alarming that I never know who was actually on the trip, who was with them, who was caretaking for them,” Usher said on the stand on Monday morning.
“Was the nanny there, was it a relative or a family member or one of the other children watching the kids? Was it a cousin, or an uncle—I don’t know, I never know. I never get any information unfortunately until we’re in court.”
Usher is attempting to prove that he can provide a more stable environment and safe environment for the two boys, while Tameka is merely trying to maintain joint custody.
As expected, Tameka’s attorneys brought up Usher’s crazy stalker, Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw, and made him explain just how she managed to get so close to their kids.

Rakestraw, who has left several comments on under several of the posts I’ve written about her and sent emails to this site, made it all the way into Usher’s John’s Creek home and even took pictures while inside.
Usher explained how it was his grandmother who let Darshelle in, assuming that she may have had an appointment.
His on-site bodyguard escorted her out to the front yard (the first time) and authorities were notified. Darshelle was later arrested after she returned to his residence.
The case continues all this week and for the record… I still think Usher’s being a complete D*ck!

Didn’t she just loose a son & now he wanna take them from her 2 SMDH
I agree! As I have been through it before. Going through a battle like that is no fun at all and I couldn’t image loosing a child and having to still fight for my other too. Usher is a DICK and I hope a lot of his fans loose respect for him. He’s just a straight up ass-hole and I hope she doesn’t loose her boys to that JERK being that she just lost one. He’s just being a tired ass nigga! His young ass just needs to grow up and keep his dick in his
pants.
I don’t feel bad for her, she seemed to try & make his life sooo bad & they probably better off with him, God don’t like UGLY & thats ALL she was to him.
how do you no she makes his life bad?
because he told it to the court several times and asked to her to move on, just like he did.
but how do you know that he didn’t fuck her over and then try to make her look like the bad guy?
Didn’t he cheat on her? That’s making her life bad NOT his! Usher used her for breeding. The man IS a d*ck and I hope he doesn’t prevail.
My heart goes out 2 her also praying 4 her strength!!
Usher needs to have every seat in Atlanta. Tameka just buried one of her sons and this fool won’t even let grieve or have peace with her surviving kids. For Usher’s bulls***, karma is real. #Foolery and f******
What do you mean he dragged her into court? He tried to delay give her time. She wanted to move forward with the case. Pls report accurately
Thats the way I read it. On several other sites it was stated that it was the judge’s decision to not allow further delays and proceed with the schedule court date. I understand that everyone is Team Tameka because she just lost a son but either stick to facts or stay unbiased or dont report at all. The death of her son has nothing to do with the two children she share with Usher. The reason I read other post is because they stay unbiased. Even when Perez Hilton got beamed by Will I am, he reported on the incidence and stayed unbiased against the man. In return he gets to host BBC reunions. Atlien you could be the same way, I see so much potential in you, if you would just stop taking sides.
So true, Atlien, it appears that you and Tameka are friends, but good journalism occurs when you are able to report both points of view and both sides of the arguments. I’m not seeing that in your posts.
I agree. Court dates are court dates. It’s just bad timing and I guess Usher has his reasons to want the kids to be more in his custody. We never know what is going on in the back ground to make him feel this way. Plus I think the kids will be more in the care of Mama Raymond. Who knows but I still think before I bash Usher for wanting his kids, I will give him and Tameka the benefit of the doubt. We are forgetting she kind of put out there Usher has a drug problem and that probably pissed him off. I don’t believe it but if he did why would you air that dirty laundry .
Thank you! Only the President can control the courts. Also, the publisher of this site needs to invest in using spell check and learn how to construct a sentence properly. Whether if she’s going to state facts of fiction on this site, it should AT LEAST be written clearly.
How come you not reppin’ for Funky Dineva anymore? You two appeared to be quite chummy a few months ago. It’s not really any of my business. I was just wondering.
Do me wrong I still continue to treat u right n pray for u don’t make a life altering decision to quick every child needs that daily mothering love put self aside usher n tameka a child’s life have been lost omg stop tripping on $$$$ n power
Why the double standard? The woman can have sole custody but not the man? Added to that he’s more financially stable. These are boys they need a strong influence from dad. They’re not babies still sucking on a teat.
You’re absolutely right! Just because a woman can get pregnant it doesn’t make her a good mother. Plus, Tameka has shown to be violent and unstable, which is why she’s being sued for full custody. Some people act as if she won’t have any rights if Usher gets custody, which I hope he does.
I think Usher should have custody of the boys. If he doesn’t get custody Tameka Foster is going to continue to drag him in and out of court. If she was more civil about the children, I’m sure that joint custody would not be a problem. She brought it on herself. She’s lucky to have a man who wants to be in his children’s lives and she messes it up with her nasty attitude and greed.
For once, she could have proved to be a changed person after Kile’s untimely death, but no…her and her "people" started back being messy leaking stories to the press and playing the sympathy card. Not saying that she doesn’t deserve a degree of sympathy from the public but she makes it kind of hard when she goes back to her old ways.
She should take time to mourn her child, not fussing and fighting with Usher. Let him and those children BE! We expect the court to be FAIR and JUST. This custody hearing has nothing to do with Kile, may he rest in peace.
So beautifully, truthfully and unbiasedly stated.
Yo, that’s what’s up turthfluly.
Unbiased? Really???
Right, S. lol.
They already have an agreement for joint ustody, he’s suing for SOLE custody. I thought he dragged her into court. I don’t really know the reason for him wanting full custody, if it’s really he feels he’s more stable or he doesn’t really like paying child support to Tameka.
Actually he tried to offer her more visitation and a greater amount of child support and she declined it. Also it was usher that asked for more time for Tameka to morn the loss of her child and it was Tameka that told the court no because he was "not sympathetic" to her!!! Again not about her.. its about the kids. And I would gather joint custody wouldn’t be an issue if she wasn’t physo when he would drop the kids off to her. … JMO
I wish the media would cease reporting on this story until a judge makes a decision in this case. Your reporting the same thing over and over again….it’s beyond repetitive at this point. The only thing that changes with this story are the outfit changes from them going to court every day.
I do agree that this story with these two is repetitive but I am always amazed at how people still get the story wrong when commenting.I’m talking about the clear facts…not speculation. It’s like what are THEY reading that I am not?! It seems that no matter what some people just want Tameka to be wrong and for Usher to be right just because…it’s really disheartening that we live in a society like this.
Yep.
Usher initiated the court procedings to get FULL custody. He can’t say, "judge, she won’t let me take them out of the country with me or have them whenever I want them, so I want full custody to avoid the hassle," so he has to say, "I think I can be a better parent than her." But if you’re out performing and promoting music, beit with his mother or a nanny it’s still NOT HIM! HE married her. HE made a choice to procreate with her. NOW she’s unfit? Tameka’s defending herself now, just as Usher’s defended himself in the past.
I’m just waiting for the tea to spill. *In my "Living Single’s" Regine Hunter voice* Aawww, Sookie Sookie Now!!!
Dwayne Wade won custody* So Good Luck Usher* He should seek custody and more men should from thier unfit mothers…..
Amen!
They were goin through this before she lost her son and that does change the facts of the case.. I feel bad that she lost her son but this issue was ongoing and Usher should continue to seek sole custody..Tameka was bad and mad prior to losing her son now she wants sympathy..
In the photos aboveTameka looks defeated. smh This is a hell of a lot for anyone to be going through . I hope they reach an amicable decision.
She does look dog tired. I hope the judge makes a decision quickly as well.
Right after I get some more dirt lol. Sorry, but that’s why I’m here folks. If you’re brutally honest, so are you; I’m sure it’s not to keep up with current events lol.
On the news today, it showed her testifying, looking lke a MAN. ANY WHO, she said she use to steal diapers and lived with drug dealers. She learned her lesson. Umm, right, she learned to marry rich, more honest to steal that way.
usher this is not the time to do this u are been so damn selfish,u look like a ass knowing she just lost a son I can’t even belive u just done that
I agree with Remy So Priceless Blue. And, people need to start looking at the bigger picture and her track record with her other boys father. Usher is not having it. Allow him to get his boys, and stop being so selfish and demanding so much in child support. She should’ve kept him while she was married to him.
We will never know why GOD sent her son to heaven so soon. I hope it’s a wake up call for her to start appreciation what she have. Cause you never no. Her behavior has known to be out of line and totally disrespectful. Watch how you treat people along the way.
I don’t see nothing wrong with the 50/50 agreement why should she give him full custody b/c he is Usher. I don’t think she doing anything wrong I will fight for my kids to the fullest to. Whats the problem with sharing an he wants a nanny to keep them is she better then the Mother are you serious he travels all the damn time and that’s stable! Usher isn’t innocent in all of this!
I agree. Joint custody is more than fair, especially since he is pre-occupied with his career mainly. Taking care of a 4 and 3 year old is a lot of work; and, demands the full attention of at least one parent (ideally both) on a full-time basis. I am certain the judge has factored in the threat potential to the children Usher’s lifestyle brings. You would think he would be logical in his plight of asking for sole custody, as not to put the boys in harm’s way.
I TOTALLY agree!! I have a very advanced 20 month old and he and I are extremely close. He has recognized that there is NOTHING like a good mothers love very early and I couldnt imagine not being in his life regularly. I keep hearing people say she should be glad he wants his kids…say what?! Usher SHOULD want his kids and she should to that is what the 50/50 split was all about and BOTH parents should want their kids to have the other parent. It sounds like he just wants total control and that is NOT coparenting. Saying that he doesnt know who they are with when they are in her care sounds beyond crazy to me…he is reaching. Should have thought about all this when you was laying down singing them love songs in her ear buddy…oh wait I forgot she somehow trapped him…blankstare.
Thank you MCC.
Janet Dean, I believe the judge refused to cancel the proceedings. Tameka needs to stay out of the news. She’s not getting sympathy.
She clearly has so anger issues, look at how she argues back and forth on twitter. She was on there today talking about someone. That’s adolescent behavior.
So is ramming your mother’s car with your own. So is sleeping with the friends of your girlfriend/wife.
Both of them have room to grow. Usher has a team of people to keep his anger issues under raps.
Why would u want yo take the kids from their mother while they travel with him and are take care of by a nanny (stranger) 75% of the time? I dont understand the logic! Im sure Tameka’s schedule is nothing compared to Ushers and he should keep the joint custody and be glad she not asking for more child support! DAmn the kids just lost their brother now he wanna take them from their mom. USHER YOU JUST LOST A FAN
This is so sad, this woman is still in grief over the death of one of her children, this lesser of a man, who’s heartless and cold, named Usher is putting her through more grief by trying to take her 2 smaller children. I am no longer a fan of Usher’s. The only reason, why Usher wants full custody of his children is, because, he don’t want to pay Tameka money, that’s what it boils down to. Money is always the root of evil. But, one day God is going to make Usher see/wake-up and see what evil he’s doing and make him completely correct that negativity he has put out!
They should not leave it up to the court system.They shouldbe able to talk.Usher seem to want what he wants and no one else matters.
Usher is wrong for this. Where is Tameka’s support system?? They need to rally around her at this time. They should keep the joint custody, she is not a drug addict or crazy!!!! I am hopeful that she will keep the kids. usher cheap, fake, hateful ass. I am so wrong 4 letting my mind think this but what if he had something to do w/ the death of Kile to make her look like an irresponsible parent? That illuminati crap is real and some of these celebs are shady as hell/ Looks like Tameka took a dance with the devil this time. i’m still praying 4 her!
They should not leave it up to the court system.They shouldbe able to talk.Usher seem to want what he wants and no one else matters.
Sorry about that.The reply wouldnt go thru;so my aunt Linda tried to send for me.All of a sudden both went thru.
Lord know i dont know what’s going on,im on the outside looking in,whatever it is i hope they both can come to a peaceful settle between the two for the kids sake,kids need them both no sides here to take grown folks seem to f### it up for everybody,damn shame!
I hope they work it out so I can stop seeing post about it. She should have been more civil and he wouldn’t be taking her to court for sole custody. My uncle has a crazy baby mother. He just sends checks and doesnt see his children (twin girls) because he has to deal with her playing games with his weekends or coming to get them after a couple of hours because the kids are around his wife(then fiance)and she doesnt like them. He just gave up and the children suffer because now they dont have a father, they have a check. He gives her more than his fair share so they stay out of court. Its just sad on all parts
From what I have heard/seen, Usher has not proven this woman as an unfit mother. My understanding is that is the only way the courts will remove a child from the Mother’s home and grand full-custody to the Father.
What does he expect that these proceedings will do for his relationship with his boys when grow older and see what he did? How will this effect his co-parenting relationship with Tameka in the event the Judge rules against him?
He is a spineless, callous, spiteful and vengeful little man with no regard for anyone other than himself.
Dang, you had to throw in "little", huh? He is a short mutha….
Co sign with you, Vay, Dinah, Missy, Linda, Diva, and somebody else.
I get your point of view too, Loving this site, but my thought about that is, these men pick these women; don’t start thinking with the right head until it’s too late lol.
i don’t know if he’s wrong and she’s wrong…i can’t call it…but i do know one thing..this is not good for the children…they need to figure it out quickly and move on peacefully
oh and i know one mo’ other thing…if i had to bury my son (and yes i really have one)…i would not let 2 others go…i’d fight like a dog owned by michael vick
Me too, ATL.
This is what happens when you dont listen to your Momma. Momma Raymond said dont marry that woman. She was even fired from being his stylist because Momager said she was being too close to her son. Years later they dating, coincidence I think not.
You are absolutely right! Usher’s mom saw right through Tameka and can probably tell you what her next move is. Mom’s always have that keen insight into the future. Hopefully Usher will listen to his mother from now on, ESPECIALLY when it comes to women.
He didn’t listen about Grace; mama Patton don’t like her either.
She looks stressed out. I feel bad for her.In spite of their issues, she’s a good mom. Lord Jesus, when it rains,it poors and it is pooring on this woman’s head. She just buried a child and now has to deal with this. God carry her through this journey we call life. She is too weak to walk and needs your help. As a mother, my soul aches for her right now.
First of all, you all should learn how to print the facts. Usher wanted to put the trial on hold and allow Tameka to grieve for her son, but she wanted to continue. I believe that the reason Usher is seeking full custody is because of Tameka’s attitude. She is still bitter and angry over the Grace situation, and as long as Usher is with Grace, she is going to put him through HELL! She knows the man has to travel for his job, and if he doesn’t she won’t be getting those big fact Child Support checks that she’s getting. It’s time to let the past go. He’s probably just tired of dealing with her.
@be Objective you left out the part where he wanted to also put it on hold because he thought she should get an unfair advantage due to her sons death. Wanting to give himself, her and the kids time to mourn and thinking a death is an advantage is two different things and I believe his real motive was noticed by the judge or the JUDGE would granted a later court date. I dont blame Tameka for wanting to get something over that she didint start in the first place. It’s also very hard to let go of the past when you have two little people attached to that past. Her going to court has nothing to do with Grace…I dont think Grace is even a factor in Tameka’s world at this point. I also would hope that after all the cheating and disrespect from this man that she (Tameka) wouldnt want to have anything else to do with him on a relationship tip. Usher seems like a good dad, a great performer but SUCKS at being a real man when dealing with real life situations.
With all due respect Vay…I do believe the issue is definitely Grace, especially if Grace and Tameka were close friends at one time. She has not moved on from that,and I can somewhat understand that there would be bitterness, but that bitterness is also making it difficult for them to co-parent like sensible adults. Tameka even brought this issue up in court, so it is indeed a factor.I’m certainly not saying that Usher is blameless in all of this,but if I’m not mistaken she’s done a little cheating herself. Wasn’t she still married when she and Usher hooked up? I’ll be glad when she finds herself a man and let Usher live his life. This is one time he really should have listened to his mother.
I get what you are saying I really am speaking of present day (sorry I wasnt clear) I think after losing her son Grace just isnt a factor (or shouldnt be) at this point. I do believe she was still legally married when her and Usher got together not sure if she was legally seperated or not though. I honestly think that she was still allowing Usher to climb up in that bed of hers even long after the divorce (folks to it all the time) and of course when he pulls up with another woman…someone she knows…she snapped. I remember seeing something where she was hinting around to the fact that her and Usher were still dealing…soul ties are no joke and they are REAL. The way Usher seems to deal with his soul ties is to get another woman…Tameka went off. I hear you on the listening to his mama but his boys wouldnt be here and crazy baby mama or not I dont think he would trade those boys for the world. What’s funny is I have been follwing her on twitter for over a year now and have never seen her even really talk about Usher…at this point I am not sure what she is doing to stop him from living his life. This dude is CLEARLY going to do what he wants to do…maybe I am missing something though…
I definitely respect your opinion. I just wish they could find a way to get along. One thing is clear. I think they both adore those children.
Yes, BeObjective, they both love those children; now they need to learn to respect each other. Usher needs to show consideration for her feelings, and Tameka needs to learn to forgive him. Not for him, but for herself.
That’s one thing that I cant respect about either of them is the lack of respect that they have for each other. It seems to be very little. My son adores me and his father and for HIM I just dont see allowing myself to get to the point of not respecting his father. We are married and have a very close relationship but I am also a step-mother and I make sure to encourage my husband to be respectful towards his son and daughter mothers. This has never been an issue for us and I have never experienced any drama with these women. When my kids smile we smile and I HONESTLY have one of the funniest and coolest 1 year olds you could ever meet. He knows NOTHING about drama, parents arguing, sadness and keep in mind I’ve had some tough issues to deal with recently.
Hurt people hurt people they both need to heal and emotionally move forward but with the other persons best interest in mind.He dont have to be with her to care about her and vice versa…
Be Objective…I like the way you think and love when I can have a respectful exchange with people! Respect.
STLChick…you KNOW I wasnt leaving you out!!! Muah!!!
This is just sad. I would have hoped that they could work things out outside the courtroom. Even though I’m not a fan of Tameka, I feel bad for her. She just lost one son and could potentially lose two more. I feel especially bad for their two sons because they just lost their brother.
I dont if he right or she right but this right here:
It’s alarming that I never know who was actually on the trip, who was with them, who was caretaking for them,” Usher said on the stand on Monday morning. “Was the nanny there, was it a relative or a family member or one of the other children watching the kids? Was it a cousin, or an uncle—I don’t know, I never know. I never get any information unfortunately until we’re in court.
As a parent, that would not be acceptable. For a mother or a father. My ex can not just have our children in care of just anyone and that includes some of his family…hell I don’t leave them with some of my OWN family. Thats a red flag to me
In her court docs she said he does the same thing. I am not taking sides because I believe they both have done wrong and pray they get on better terms for the kids..BUT I’ve always found it alarming when I’ve read reports that she cannot contact him and he will not answer her calls. They have to speak through other people just to communicate about the kids. I remember reading that he wouldn’t answer the phone when twitter did the death hoax… I don’t know if any of this is true and we will NEVER get the facts, but I truly feel for her and will continue to pray for all of them.
I think Usher is being evil…I see a new TREND w/these entertainers & athletic..get full custody so you wont have to pay child suppot. People act like Usher is a saint….Keep letting that baby face fool yea!I guess he will have time to take care of the kids…cuz he been sleeping with the nanny…tha bridesmade…..maybe the asst…tha cook! lol
LOL. Right. I think at this point the bigger surprise would be who DIDN’T he have an affair with? Tameka may have stepped out on Ryan, but she did that with one person, whom she later married (not saying it’s right, cuz it’s wrong as hell). But trust, Usher cannot say he stepped out with only one mistress.
If they’d stop closing some of the procedings to the press, we’d learn all kinds of shitzu we didn’t know about him, for sure.
I noticed this "trend" too!
She just lost a child …..come on give her a break share those kids.
I THINK HE SHOULD GET HIS KIDS. THATS ALL SHE WANTED HIM FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS FOR MONEY AND POWER AND USED HER WOMB TO DO JUST THAT. SHE DESERVES NOTHING. I HOPE HE DOES GET HIS KIDS. IM SURE THAT HIS MOTHER HAS NO PROBLEM HELPING HIM WITH HER GRANDCHILDREN. GOOD LUCK USHER.
Sometimes I just wish people could learn to SEPERATE adult relationships from parent child relationships. That goes for those speculating and those in the situation. I don’t know what happened during their marriage, who use who or who cheated on who. But now there are 2 children who just lost a big brother and now are about to lose precious time with one of their parents..
I am a mother to a 7 year old who lost her father to cancer when she was 4. I never kept him from her but it showed me that all the bickering was not worth it. He may not have always treated me right but I never doubted his love for my daughter
love usher’s music. his personal life from what i read is horrible. why would you take your sons from their mother? I dont know them but from what i read…. usher is a hoe. I hope they keep joint custody. he just not want to pay her child support.
I’ve been an Usher fan forever and I admit that I have felt some type of way about Tameka, BUT in this case, I truly remain UNBIASED. The fact is, none of us know the situation. There’s a reason for everything and three sides to every story. When I read that Usher hadn’t dropped the case completely (which had been rumored that he would), following the death of Kile, I was saddened and disappointed in him.
However, I recently read that if he were to do that, he would automatically loose any custody of the children – immediately awarding Tameka with full control. So perhaps, he’s just taking his chances with the judge. He seems to really love and adore his kids and he doesn’t seem like a bad dad. Tameka doesn’t seem like a bad mother either – both of them just want the best for their babies. It’s unfortunate that they don’t believe "the best" can come from the BOTH of them. My heart really goes out to these parents – I’m sure both are hurting tremendously behind this. This is an all around sad situation and I pray that God will heal them and have HIS way.
[...] friends over at Straight From the A reported: Tameka’s attorney referenced Usher’s worldwide work schedule, which would surely [...]
Joint custody only works when the two people agree and get along which is clearly not the case here. I just think that any mother who has a father who wants to be a father to his children should not stand in the way. Again, which is not the case here. If she had coperated in the past or start now, I’m sure this would not be an issue.
I totally agree with your comment. Thanks for posting it.
Tameka outfit is so cute. She looks good under the stressful circumstance. Usher will meet hell for this and his mama and homely ass girlfriend as well for not stopping this.
uh oh…here’s a usher and tameka post. where tamekas spokesperson (Vay) at? oh, there she go. just like clock work i tell ya. at least she aint gettin too caught up in her feelings this time. cause d.a.m.n i would have sworn tameka was her fam or something. lmao!
Hey stalker!!!
Usher seems like a good dad, a great performer but SUCKS at being a real man when dealing with real life situations.
========================
I have ALWAYS thought this about him…and I’ve always blamed P Shitty for it. THAT was his introduction to manhood. Can you imagine? Ugh.
And I have to add that although I like the curliness, THANK GAWD HE CUT HIS HAIR!! Much better.
I love it the way it is now…
ME TOO, BE OBJECTIVE! Looks Grown and Sexy lol
eeeeeeewwwwwwwww!!! Ok I kid…I kid…People who are musically gifted are often some of the best lovers you could ever have. That creative brain is Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery CREATIVE!!!! lol Ok I KNOW this has NOTHING to do with his hair but I had a moment and needed to share. Be Objective if you are not older then 18 ignore my comment emmmkay?! lol
hahahaha @ P Shitty. But this is true.My best friend is a guy and he always says there are so many things he had to learn the hard way (as a man) because his dad wasnt there. Maybe that is why Usher is trying so hard to get his boys so he can make up for what his dad didnt do. I just wish he would also remember how important his mother was/is in his life also.
Lmao at a man having to tell you to move on after he long has. Hell she shoulda got the memo when he filed for divorce. HAMeka needs to be more concerned about taking care of her kids and their well being vs. who and what Usher is doing. He’s filing this for a reason. Leaving for multiple days is unacceptable, letting everybody and their mama watch your kids while you’re away is unacceptable, having multiple nannies and just leaving them with your kids while you go and pout about your sad ass life is unacceptable, and etc. she gets no sympathy from me because we all knew she was on bs from the jump. Her ugly fame whoring, sack chasing ass finally is starting to get what’s comin to her and I dont feel sorry for her. And Usher has long seen the mistake he made when he married her tired ass. Jonetta and everybody else warned him so he’s suffering now too. Tameka is a jealous, bitter, vindictive hag and is still mad that after all the shit she talked, Usher STILL cheated left her ass. She thought the grass was greener and it wasn’t. His relationship with Grace has lasted longer than that sham of a marriage. Lmao
Different verse, same as the first. Just because Grace is still in that relationship doesn’t mean it’s a happy one; Mimi is a prime example of that. I think it was hard for tameka to move on romantically. Usher certainly beat her to that lol. At this point though, I don’t think she cares because she probably realizes he’s as faithful to Grace as he was to her. Ask rihanna. Or that background dancer. Or Maya.
Usher hides that ugly ass Grace out, every chances he gets. She looks like the bottom of his shoe. Why is Tameka sack chasing and Grace isnt? Grace is the new so called manager. I guess this new rock album is her doing. How do you know who she has left her kids with? Hmmm you sound pretty bitter yourself. Interesting.
I have lost all respect for usher. Tameka may be vindictive and can be called all the names under the sun; which may in fact be true. HOWEVER,she has just lost a child and he wants FULL CUSTODY. like joint is fair, but full??. Usher is EVIL to do such a thing, how is she going to cope with 2 out of her 5 sons are the only ones in her home? well practically only 1 seeing her eldest son is pretty much an adult. Usher is so sarcastic, Cheating, Manipulative man who cant be faithful. If the judge grants him full custody then HE/SHE is Equally as stupid as usher is.
It’s crazy..the urban blogs are in Tameka’s corner but the mainstream seems to be in Usher’s..I just saw a clip on Access Hollywood where Tameka admitted to stealing..this is getting out of hand
Hope they work it out for the kids sake.
she’s unfit and crazy i’m sure. he want his kids!
Usher is being a complete jerk, I have lot all respect for him and I hope that he loses this case because he was wrong to file for custody against this woman in the first place. Usher has not come with ONE claim of abuse, neglect, or harm to these boys. He is a little bitch and I LOOOOVE some of his music but this is a hoe move. Usher should have found a surrogate mother not a real mother to have kids with. I am NO LONGER an ASSHER fan! He is wrong and just stupid on so many levels.

Don’t feel sorry for Tameka because she lost a son, This battle was on going before that incident occured (remember that) Why should Usher change his course of thought to satisfy her. I’m not yay or nay for either of them. I wish as a divorced mother with children, that these two would / could come to an agreement amongst themselves! Ladies / Men when a marriage is over it’s over, "Life Happens" (to the best of us) When I was separated and then divorced from my husband I did not fight with him at all because WHY…… NO point it wasn’t going to change a thing. and actually TWO years after it all was said and done I asked my husband to get the boys Because I think boys need their father. (and mother of course) but more so the daddy. We are amicable and I see my boys whenever I want and talk to them whenever I want It’s no you get this holiday and I get that one it’s whenever, if he has plans with the boys OK then I’ll get them next time If I have plans or want to do something with the boys FINE not a problem. It should be that simple as it’s the best interest for the child(ren). the Boys don’t want to see their parents ripping out each others hearts. (kids are smart)
I get what you’re saying, I really do, but I can’t get with your first sentence. Court case or not, OF COURSE I feel sorry for a woman who loses her son. I feel sorry for anyone who loses someone they love.
So now sympathy and empathy requires justification?
If showing compassion is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
They were going through this before the tragic accident occured and the court is not going to sit and wait.
The woman will ALWAYS be mourning her child! She will NEVER get over the loss. Its unfortunate all around but heed this…BE VERY SELECTIVE AS TO WHOM YOU MARRY AND CHOSE TO PARTNER IN LIFE.
If you are not going to open your house/ apt door and let anyone in…keep the same reservations as to whom you procreate with!
So sad all around!
So true, locktress. Condoms are plentiful lol
After losing their son, you’d think they’d come to a quick decision and do a 50-50 custody or something… #clueless
Hopefully this is all resolved soon with shared custody. A lot of the arguments that one parent is making seems to be applicable to the other parent also (i.e. both of them probably rely heavily on nannies to help raise the children). I do hope that God has an amazing 2013 in store for them both (especially Tameka, because going through all of this in such a short period of time is no joke).
The WORLD needs a better 2013.
Agreed, ALM. Don’t know if I can do it, and I’m a strong bitch.
Yes you are and you are gonna make it!
What, he’s going to have his nanny take care of the kids? Dude u need to get it together and stop flexing… U have the. Money and the power…. B mindful what u do to people… leave this lady alone allow her to raise the children and u continue to b a positive influence n your children life but don’t take them away from their mom… I could understand if your children was being mistreated but if that’s not the case don’t put them though this…. We know u the man u dont have to flex your muscles
I find it funny that so many people feel that Usher should have sole custody. The best thing for the children would be for them to have joint custody as they do now. Usher is a DICK for even wanting full custody. How is it that she’s unfit to have custody, but she wasn’t unfit to marry and have not 1 but 2 children with? I don’t know them personally, but what I do know is that something isn’t right with this picture and for the record, whoever the petitioner (USHER) is in the courts he(USHER)/she can ask for the proceedings to be dropped or postponed – I know 1st hand. Everyone is saying ATLien is being biased, but those who are TEAM USHER aren’t? Seems to me there is a lot of favoritism going on and ATLien has a right to be biased, it’s her site if you don’t like it don’t read and don’t comment.
This post gave me life!

Usher has some bad karma coming to him. Its in incredibly poor taste and extremely insensitive to sue Tameka for sole custody of those boys (which means she will pay him child support) knowing her other son has died.
I think ever since Dwayne Wade cheated on his wife and won sole custody of their sons, all these ignorant paper driven black men think they can just take a woman’s child away.
Its better these boys are raised by their own mother and not some nanny, housekeeper, groupie, side piece or even an elderly grandmother who doesn’t know not to let strangers in the house.
I can’t believe Usher has that much hate in his heart. He is a pitiful excuse for a man. I used to like him and side with him over Tameka but now that I’ve learned more, Usher can go eat a d*ck.
