The doting father of two, who won a hard fought custody battle against his ex-wife Tameka Foster Raymond, is currently performing several dates in Dubai, where he’s also been partaking in a bit of “fearless” recreational activities.
[FLASHBACK: Usher Talks Custody & More on Oprah's Next Chapter (FULL VIDEO)]
Coincidentally Usher’s newest tattoo contains the word “Fearless” inked on his forearm.
Check out what cool “fearless” fathers do when the kids are left home with their mom…
Skydiving with Grace on his back?
Usher skydiving in Dubai…
Look… no hands!
Usher being reckless on a Ducati in Dubai…
Usher parties with his boo Grace (upper right corner) and friends in Dubai…
Looks like a great time for the single father… meanwhile back at the ranch, Tameka played both mommy and daddy duty this week, hosting Naviyd’s 4th birthday party yesterday (photos coming soon).
Is Usher being a “Fearless” Fool or Foolish Father?
#Foolish! Yeah, live your life the way you see fit… but taking risks and doing dangerous activities when you have 2 small children is foolish! But then again, Usher doesn’t make the BEST decisions (side eye). While Tameka is home holding her Boys down, Usher is jumping out of planes… and somebody deemed HIM the "better" parent?? Tameka would have gotten her Boys back had that parachute not opened… Hmmm…
Janie, LMFAO! That last sentence…I thought the same thing.
NOT THAT ANYONE IS WISHING HARM ON USHER
Damn my computer! Meant to add
(not like people wish harm on Tameka, but I digress).
I’m sure he’s not the only parent to do such a thing. Can’t say I necessarily think they should, but each person has to make their own decision.
Am I surprised HE did it? HELL NAW! Look at his Cassanova behavior…same recklessness, or "fearlessness." I remember watching Oprah and how he had her remove her shoes, which is a Feng Shui practice. I saw that and thought to myself, "He’s particular about the energy that comes in his house, and yet he desecrate his bodily temple with promiscuity. Don’t get it.
Yesss! Usher can take his shoes off in the house, but wont take his penis out of people’s Bridesmaids? #HaveASeat Mr Raymond! REAL people can see right through that BS. (rolls eyes)
Ha! U betta say that! I luv yor post about him makin Oprah take her shoes off in his house, but he can stick his nasty peen up in every thing moving. "Nice nasty" ni**as are comical. He chopped down her bridesmaid and no tellin’ whoelse but won’t allow shoes in his crib. Ni** pluuezzze! That’s the same as him jumpin’ out a plane or doing wheelies on a Ducati. All risky n stupid for a grown man wit kids that he fought so hard for. I bet Meka wish that chute locked up on his azz.
You are entitled to your opinion, but would you call a soldier foolish when he jumps out an airplane to complete a mission. Maybe a race car driver who might have a wife and children is foolish because he could die in a crash. Maybe being a police officer is foolish because might get killed. My point is people jump out of planes everyday, and some are famous fathers or mothers. Your mention of Tameka means you are more concern for her than him or the children a judge says he should have. Hate come from the dark side and some women are pros at it.
You are entitled to your opinion, but would you call a soldier foolish when he jumps out an airplane to complete a mission
————————–
That’s professional obligation, not recreation.
And darkness comes in all races AND sexes. Usher’s no angel.
Race car drivers, soldiers do these stunts KNOWING it could be their last too. My aunt was married to military man and halted starting a family until his active duty was over. Usher is 35 years old and has fought the ‘good fight" against this woman for her kids, so he should govern himself accordingly. Jumping out of planes for fun is fine, just very risky and I’m sure you sign a "YOU MIGHT DIE" waiver in the beginning. So yeah, this ish was high risk. No hate just real observation.
My question is how many parties should a kid have, 1 is enough. A call from Usher would have been OK, no need for both parent to feel they has to throw the child a party, it’s really not that serious. As long as a parent is supportive and loving throughout the child’s life a birthday is nice, but not that important. Plus Usher should perform every opportunity he gets right now rather in the states or overseas, his career really needs it right now.
Fucking brave why do he have to be a fool or foolish
THats what Im saying. There are plenty of parents that do things such as this. Why does have to be a bad parent because he went sky diving. ATLien, not trying to diss you or anything, but why do you have such hate against Usher? I’m just curious.
I think that "brave" is standing up and being a man in your childrens lives by not shitting on their mother every chance he gets. It takes a bigger, fearless man to be kind, nice and have compassion for his childrens mother. Usher has shown cowardice over this past year.
I am a LONG time, die hard fan of his and his actions have been less than stellar.
Sleeping with his wifes best friend/bridesmaid ever was as low as a man can go, then the custody battle to take the woman babies away, the eviction rumors, the whole Oprah interview was just in poor taste, he was cocky, arrogant and his mother was ridiculous as hell, her body language and her words showed her ignorance. He would be brave, brazen and fearless to be a man in how he is handlin his ex wife. This sky-diving stunt was for Instagram and Twitter fans, its always a show with him. I’ve seen the real Usher this year and he should watch out with the death defying stunts- Karma can be a beast, Usher is due a few bouts with it. My fan days are long gone at this point. Love his old songs but him not-so-much. Not a decent guy.

Shut up Tameka, U stay making fake accounts to stalk Usher, with these degrading comments. Get a Life!!
GRACE! Dont be telling Tameka to shut up…you know she has been trying to get you since you showed up at her house you better go light a candle and meditate boo. lol
its some stupid ass ppl out here..so what he sky diving he a grown ass man..damn hating ass folk mind yo own fn bi
sweetheart, where’s the ”harm” in any of these pics??? I never knew Usher could’nt enjoy himself as parent regarding his personal endeavors. Michelle, your looking more pressed than the fat around your throat that’s blocking the air from reaching your lungs. So please ———–> >/ SAT THEE FAWK DOWN!!
daaaaaaaaamn..!!! how can u be on somebody’s site and throw insults at her like this..she’s a blogger that’s what they do,she gets her money for being in ppl’s bussiness while ur stupid ass stay behind that funky computer of yours degrading the more degraded responsibilities and indiscipline your parents instilled in u.
Since youre on HER site attempting to diss her who’s really pressed? Usher is reckless to be a "full" time dad. Riding with no hands? Jumping from planes? What if he splattered all over the ground?
Fearless and reckless are the truth. He never struck me as the fatherly type.
Since youre on HER site attempting to diss her who’s really pressed?
——————-
*Waves church fan*
Well!! I think he’s more reckless riding that damn motorcycle, but that’s JMO.
EmmmEmmmEmmm…. somebody’s feeling untouchable.
Maybe you should look a little closer dear. That’s not a woman on his back. When you skydive, unless you’re a pro, it’s always done tandem.. Meaning the instructor is in the back and the other person in the front.. Stop reaching!!!
That’s true because I went skydiving three years ago and my instructor was with me when I did it. I have no regrets either.
true…but grace was there too…and u can check that on her instagram. she’s good at posting unnecessary pics too hehehehe
But why is it that she can’t go somewhere with her dude and have fun? I don’t get how that makes him a bad parent posting pics of his life.. She’s still reaching!
Of course! She is his so called manager and posting unnecessary pics is a part of her job. Best way to keep any threats away
Gosh poor woman all her energy is USHER. Can’t help feeling sorry for her kids. I think you can clearly see where her priorities are. And in my opinion it tells alot about a woman. PEACE.

stop hating damn.. we know u on tameka side n u don’t like him we get it… it’s other parents out here doing worse…what tameka hoe gold digging ass doing? report that shit…
But if Tameka did this same thing, this post would be flooded with folks calling her a bad mother. Btw, he doesn’t look fearless, he just looks ridiculous. If he was looking for an adrenaline rush, he should have showed up at his son’s party and actually interacted with Tameka like an adult-probably would have shocked the hell outta himself that he is even capable of that.
WOW! Well said… exactly.
But if Tameka did this same thing, this post would be flooded with folks calling her a bad mother.
—————-
Precisely. If she rode a damn bumper car, they’d say she was careless. If she went water skiing, all hell would break lose.
Like I said, I’m sure other parents do this (whether they should or not). I’m not surprised. So long as the dumb ass don’t get hurt.
BTW, Grace has certainly seen better days. I’m sure Tameka is hoping she does it more often lol
Totally agree.
The kids where probably with they momma, as usual! He only want them when HE want them! #unfit&unhealthy
Why are we so concerned about his past time activities. Many people partake in these type of activities and extreme sports. Is it wreckless? According to my definition of wreckless for me, yeah but he is free to live his life as he see fit. As for Tameka playing both mommy and daddy, I am calling bull. She played her part and Usher his as outlined in the agreement. Where are the pics of her living it up when Usher has custody?
That baller’s party. She’s in one of the pics. Several pics here of her on vacation. There’s plently of pics here of Tameka living it up, and there’s been plenty of people here raking her over the coals for doing so.
You’re right we do. I even questioned her being on the beach at Thabksgiving. But she wasn’t risking her like (or limbs) skydiving or doing stupid people tricks on high speed motorcycles. At some point we all need to open out eyes and take notice of what Usher is doing. It’s not responsible parent behavior. It’s not. I don’t care what any of you say.
I am just saying that if you gonna call it, call it both ways. His actions are no more irresponsible than people having children and waiting on the government to take care of them, parents stealing, fighting or cursing in front of there children. She is having a good time, in her children’s absence, the way she see fits and he is doing the same. Why can’t the public just leave them alone?
The public will leave them alone when they stop making their lives public. These pictures were posted by Usher or his team so…in my opinion he is doing the same thing that many accused Tameka of doing "putting it all out there". It almost seems like they are now in a competion as to who can post the most pics about random ish, trips
and the boys.
Grace looks either EXTREMELY bloated or pregnant in that pic. Today is Nav’s actual birthday so happy birthday to him! URV seem to be having a ball I guess this is his form of relaxation…side eye.
Haha@that side eye!
Right! And she’s bloated…being barren and whatnot.
lets just say Usher must love her "brain’, that lady is busted, barren and burly. shes pale and looks spooked in every picture. me thinks shes got bug eyes maybe? they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder so…………. maybe he got cataracts. shes definitely seen better days. Grace isnt very good looking but hey maybe shes funny? *confused shrug*
Im not a fan of Usher but Im not sure what him doing this has to do with anything
Love it!! Go Usher!! There’s nothing wrong with living ur life cuz it’s ur life. Tameka can do whatever she wants she had that dangerous surgery trynna be skinny almost die and nothing so Go Ush!! Do u Boo.
Bye, Grace.
LMAO!
hehehehehehehehehehehehehe
Call me "CRAZY" but what the hell is so damn "FUN" or "ADVENTUROUS" about jumping out of a PLANE…on PURPOSE??
Hey if Usher wants to live out loud then so be it, but he needs to take EXTRA precaution becuz the NEGATIVE energy you put into the Universe will come back to you like a BOOMERANG!
Ugh, you never get your sh*t right! Just always looking for a way to make him look bad, just like his ex. He performed ONE show in Dubai over the weekend. He was traveling back to or was back in the states by Sunday – just in time for Naviyd’s REAL birthday, which is TODAY (Monday). He also posted pics of him and his son celebrating his birthday today. How about you post those pics too….No that’s not Grace on his back, that’s a certified jumping instructor. What’s wrong with having fun and enjoying a thrill?! Can the man live his life?! Damn!
Why didn’t Michelle post the pics of Drunk Ass Tameka?! She couldn’t even find her keys! Now that’s some wreckless ish right there!
BYE GRACE!
When was Tameka drunk? Who had the breath test posted???? If I remember the pics youre mentioning, she lost her key and was sitting on her stairs. It was on Twitter, she wasnt too drunk because SOMEBODY took the picture and she posted it on twitter and then another when she got in her house. Silly assumptions.
Now this ninja really is riding his bike at high speed with no hands???!! Jumping out of a plane? Now if he went crack over UAE, then what??? I guess Tameka woulda been left to raise them after all. He wasnt thinking about that huh? She must not be that turrible of a mama, since he’s doing suicide stunts. I’m over Usher.
Ewwww, is that girl in the right corner his woman??? OMGGGG she is horrid. If I was Tameka I would be so happy and walking with an extra bounce in my step. Ole gurl is ra rahh rat ratchet.
LMAAOOOOOO @suicide stunts…..hahahahahahahaha
Looking at her pics looks like she gave Navi a party first then he did his. Wish I was that brave to do that.
i dislike Usher so I have nothing
Usher is a totally absurd person I saw him at an autograph signing before his show in Michigan, he was rude to the people that worked for him. He was snappy and rushing the fans along. His attitude was really not nice, I stood back and watched him (trying to be closer for a longer time). I didn’t like his air after I watched him barking at his assistant and a manager, it wasn’t his mother there but another guy.
He wears the glasses to hide the fact that he’s high alll the time and not cute up close. The Oprah interview, which I notice they won’t show a repeat of- made him look like an ass, he was bragging to Oprah about his house (as if Oprah….), was lying the whole hour and his mother looked like a jealous, needy ass. They had to be terrors to deal with!! Tameka dodged a bullet not having to be in that family for the rest of her life, tormented souls they both are. I can see it, from many years of supporting him. I don’t like Usher or this new techno music he makes now.
He was snappy and rushing the fans along.
————————
Somebody actually mentioned this on his twitter page once.
Im like this even if they were married he would still be foolish to do it. And people (parents) do this all. She is not in the spot light as much as he is but whose to say she not doing anything EITHER! Better that than drugs…
Skydiving is on my bucket list..I say have fun with your life and screw the judgment
Sky diving is fun. If you have the funds everyone should try it.
ATLien, you kill me. You are so pressed about Usher. Clearly, this is Tameka’s time with her sons. And skydiving with an instructor isn’t as harmful as you would think. Yes, Usher is fearless like his tat says. And, I wonder if we will see pics from Naviyd’s other birthday party. Oh wait, Tameka is the one who instagrams/twitpics her life. Better yet, she probably emails them to you since you;’re clearly on her payroll. *smh*
Usher is a fearless father. Remember he’s looking for hisself, whether its true or not hes havin hella fun doing it.
This nucca is 33 yrs old with 2 kids and and ex-wife-why in the hell is STILL looking for himself?Grace, stop this foolishness, plz and ty.
Suthern, you crack me the fuck up! lol.
Ummmmmmmmm sorry Suthernhummingbyrd you are wrong!! He is not looking for "himself" he is looking for "hisself"…there is a difference ya know?! hahaha
Lmaoooo!
@vay .you are right. Himself.lol
OK, let’s not be silly here. Some could say driving on the highway in a car, could be more dangerous then this, with all he safety measures in place..I don’t have a problem with Usher sky diving, my issue is with Grace. How does she thinks its Ok, to deal with a young pop star as her boyfriend. Yet he has NEVER, mention any public dealing with her . Look at he picture, while Usher is at the bottom fake pimping with his dancers, Grace is distance at the top of the picture. She should be ashamed of herself , she has teenage kids that is aware of his mess SMH
I hear ya
I believe this re-bound relationship with Grace was doomed from the beginning. I don’t think it had a good start. Starting off as a mistress and later becoming his manager is not optimal, especially when Usher just wanted out of a marriage and were lost as he described it on Oprah. (And all the shit he has been dealing with lately with his ex wife and their relationship.) Jealosy must arise bcz you mix your own emotions with business and eventually you will focus on the wrong things. Personally I think an optimal situation would be to get a fresh manager (a man perhaps with some authority) and just acknowledge Grace as his girlfriend and let her focus on her own kids & family and a career that is more of a 9 2 5 work. And spend their free-time and holidays together instead. How fun can it be at her age (46 or 47 something?) to follow an artist on gigs? I mean I am 32 and I would not find it amusing at all but that is me and everyone is different of course. Can’t help saying that as it is now, she appears like a woman that takes whatever she gets and when she gets it.Just happy to be in the background and that does not gain any respect in the viewers eyes. It appears more like she is desperate, controlling and perhaps a little manipulating of trying to hold him down. Don’t get me wrong. I think Usher cares a lot for this woman but I don’t think she is THE ONE.
My two cents!
@ LiverpoolCat
This is the most dead-on comment on this thread!!! Grace is fine with playing the background and moving in separate cars/ walking 10 steps behind him. It makes you wonder about her self-worth. It has to get tiring. BUT on the flip side, it explains WHY she is so controlling and bossy in other areas, she has to make up for lost respect publicly. NO ONE is checking for Grace and she’s not pretty so she’s not a threat to other women. She just lacks "shimmer" *Bambi voice*. I think Usher cares about her as well, but not to the point of a PDA or red carpet walk. She a background chick because she is the woman he cheated with during his marriage, while she played the "employee" sound familiar. (Its a pattern with him). Grace probably knows that her man is a hoe, damn he smashed his wifes bridesmaid, all of his back up dancers, models, singers, actresses, he is an equal opportunity hoe bag. Grace was the rebound lady, old, warm house, kids.. he felt right at home with Meka. LOL Those cases don’t last once the newness, world travels, big stages wear off. Grace is in for a ride and its sad that her entire life is ALL about him, not even her kids take precedence over HIM. I agree she should just be his gf, not manager, nanny, stylist, swinger partner, and boss. Just girlfriend so he can then see if its real. This guy has issues and he screws women over because of them. Smh
Amazing how narrow minded people are. Skydiving does not make you a fool, just adventurous. Happy he is experiencing all life has to offer. It is such a rush to do.
I mean you have got to be the Stupidest Bitch in Atlanta. Besides your Teammate Tameka Foster.. There is NO LAW against this man "Sky Diving" or Doin it with NO Hands.. Clearly you have a vandetta against him. Dumb&Dumber Tameka&Michelle & Tell your friend she think she gansta..Till she run up on a GOON… #RuntellDat I wish a Bitch would… Goofys…Yea…Its like that… Fuck off..
"Till she run up on a Goon"….Goons visit and post on blogs, now?Oh, ok then.
