First they chilled with superstar father, Usher Raymond who jetted them off to Costa Rica & Cancun.

Such beautiful boys.
Those are some cute babies!
Beautiful vaca for the fam! Wait.. the fam.. where are her other sons? Not being messy (at all) but did she only take Usher’s children on vaca?? Umm..
One of her sons is grown the other one old enough to know if he wanted to be there. Maybe he is on vacation with his dad,maybe they just didnt want to go. Maybe we need to stop looking for shit and just let them be. Dang
LOL! Amen!
And maybe he is there…I see a person to the left. Sometimes, these blogs just like to start stuff. lol
Exactly
at neen-o-Say you are so right
She can take whomever she wants..let it go damn
And It could also be a thing that because Usher is a celebrity only his boys are ever posted on these blogs. But, All of Tameka’s boys are handsome.
It’s nice to see her enjoying herself and spending time with her kids.
Tameka hair is a Horror story . Just horrific. What 40 + woman needs all that horse weave in her hair? JUST UGLY.
It’s creepy how she hasn’t been seen with another male companionship since Usher, which was like four years ago. That’s a long time to be without any companion. She’s getting older not younger. I hope she’s not waiting for Usher to return, because that’s never going to happen. Plus he did sleep with get bridesmaid , So.
No, maybe she just isn’t a woman who needs a man to validate her. How about that!
Whats even creepier is reading a blog thinking u know every detail of someones life. Kudos to her for keeping that part of her life private and keeping folks guessing. Lol and no I am not Tameka
She’s put her life out there with Twitter and instragram, so of course these questions about her not being with a man in years will come up . And I really wish her and Usher keeps these kids pictures off of social media. They can’t be kids without their parents flashing their pictures everywhere , for their own need for attention , we the public see what they are doing .
So, now people can’t be proud to be parents and want to show off their children? anyway…you keep your kids off of social media.
Cause, I don’t know a parent who is not showing off their children. And it’s better that they (celebrities) do it… then those crazy paps chasing them down for pictures.
LET IT GO..Always winning should be always whining..beating a dead horse in the mouth MOVE ON..she has
So basically she can’t do anything right for anyone. If she had a man, she would be called every name in the book because she didn’t grieve long enough, or she would be no good because she found a man too soon. She probably doesn’t want to be under the scope. But truly does it matter.
Lb im sorry abou her son.but he just die three month ago and usher left her since 2009 ,so that dont have anything to do with her son death.tameka know she will never ever get someone like usher.she dreaming that usher will come back one day and I know that day wouldnt come.when usher leave grace and she wouldnt be datingolder lady anymore.
Hey Cyst!! lol
Het cyst number two.lol
Wow…Can you please stop…lol I doubt Tameka is waiting on the likes of Usher….again! lmao The man took her kids,made public mess of their private business, and kicked her out of a house…and went to Oprah about her…lol
I’m sure she is dating….Maybe Tameka needs a reality show. Since you all in her business.
Trust and believe no one will pay Tameka to do a reality show, she should just give up on that dream, it will NEVER happen..
What’s even more creepy is looking at her in that bathing suit picture and thinking "damn I’ll hit that"
Usher gonna flip when he sees those boys in a boat without life vests!
Didn’t he just have them on vacation in water with no life vest? Stop reaching.
The difference is he had them in a low level pool with life guards all around versus out in the deep Ocean on an unstable boat taking picture of her incompetent will get her no where
How do you all know that the boat was actually in motion…OR that this pic wasn’t taken before the life vest were handed to them…OR they hadn’t just taken the vest off?! Stayfly you make so many assumptions about this woman and the real question is WHY?! So you know the pool Usher had them in was low level (as if kids that size couldn’t drown), you know that the boat was unstable (as if you were sitting next to them), you know when THEIR kids should be in school (when some schools don’t go back until next week). You have even gone so far to accuse this woman of drinking and partying in front of her kids (as if you are the new nanny and have seen it first hand)…it is unfortunate that you are making stuff up and posting it as if it is factual. Tameka and Usher have every right to post as many pics of THEIR kids as they want, if you don’t like it close your eyes lol…it is society that can take an innocent pic of ANYTHING and blow it out of proportion. Stop it!
And just so all you life vest worriers know here are Tamekas thoughts about the situation “Ignore these clowns. They don’t know. Just clueless. I laugh at the gall of some folks. Smh”~via Instagram
Amen Vay! A lot of celebrities not only post pics but have reality shows with their kids. Let these people live their life and worry about yourselves more. Reaching so hard arms should be hurting.
maybe because I am around more than you know
Yep you around cousin Twitter and Uncle instagram and think u know all the business. Lol oh and u read too many blogs.
Reba mine your business, we go through this all the time. Vay cool we can agree to disagree. Vay’s point is alway well token he can handle his on but you chasing comment . Yeag I’m on twitter. and It but I don’t follow You I mean Temeka.I don’t even follow Michelle. We people retweet that when come up here. Not ashamed to say I scope the net but not for Tameka nor Usher mostly for fashion cause it my Job to state current. that’s how I make my ends meat, but when thing come I read. I do nor ashamed nor I’m I gonna stop because this what I do to past the time at Work. So stay in your PLACE. little one.
Why I gotta be "he" though?! hahahaha You done called me Tameka and a man all in the same day!! hahahahaha dang
I agree with you. Where are the boy’s life vest.
I see his PR people are still at it.
I agree. After what happened to the other son, those little boys needed on life jackets. I don’t care how much money Usher and Tameka have, it’s obvious they didn’t purchase any good parenting skills. Rules are rules. Plus, that boat looks unstable as hell. IJS.
So the competition has started again Usher goes Vay Kay so she takes the kids out of school for a week to celebrated her birthday. However cute pictures. Family vacation use to be private now everytime you turn around. these kid’s are being splash through the Bloggs
Ok… enough of the trips and vacations and one trying to one-up the other. Who is actually teaching these boys their ABC and 123 and futhermore life values? Its not all about being a kid forever and constanting taking trips. I am guessing that both homes are very chaotic right now so they just keep the keeps bouncing from pillow to post and call it a vacation. They should be in pre-k and kindergaten somewhere. Unless they have a traveling tutor. Cute boys, parents need to get it together.
correction: keep the kids
I so agree.
i totally agree…..it seems like a competition,and it seems like anything/fun usher have with the kids,nxt minute tameka is doing the same thing with them…they shld know better that they dont have nothing to proove to the world…..yes ppl take photos of their kids and share them on social networks,but not 24/7 and every step they take…..especially with tameka,missy im on ur side but u need to chill and hide these kids from the radar a lil bit.
I agree!At this point, both parents are doing waayyy too much. You are so right, these boys need to be in school.
If the kids live in Georgia school doesn’t start back until today. January 7th. People post pictures of their kids every single day and they have far less followers than Usher who has probably 4 million on Twitter and Instagram, she is fine to put up pics of her kids. theyre beautiful and she clearly is proud of them. You guys look for flaws in anything, I’m happy shes smiling and looking relaxed. People are haters. GO Meka, keep living, some of yall need to get a life.
Gurl, BYE!
I agree, but they could be on winter break. My children had wenter break from 12/21 until 1/2 thats about 2 weeks. The older son could have been with his dad while for 1 week Usher has them in Cancun and week 2 Tameka has them. Pending on when she went, I say they were on vacataion.
ur right but if ur talking about 4yr olds and 5yr olds(which will be day cares or pre k’s),then i must say they should be in school….my son is 4,and the only break he had was xmas day and new yrs…usually,pre k’s and day cares dont go on winter breaks.
I can’t..I never known this many people to be this negative on someone else’s lives..I pray and hope none of you EVER has an issue that is brought up over and over and over again where you are constantly defines by it..smh
Ditto.
Apparently everything this woman does will be forever overly scrutinized, dissected, and subsequently frowned upon. Everyone´s a damn contrarian when it comes to her. She’ll just have to be great for herself and her children because the general consensus will never let that happen.
Yeah, if you live anywhere remotely close to Atlanta, then you would be well aware that school is out until January 7th for most….ijs…reaching on the "should be in school" comment.
Yep even in the Virgin Islands where I’m at, my son is still out of school..going back on, you guessed it, the 7th of January. So yeah I guess the boys can vacation some more. They have two Birthday parties what’s wrong with two vacations, they do have two parents.
Well, I dont know when she took the boys on vacation and i dont live anywhere remotely close to Atlanta but since I am a reader and a blogger, I have read up on the news in the ATL area and see that some need to be in school year round. Then maybe the teachers wouldnt insult them by giving them slavery math questions, dressing them up in white sheets like the KKK or by cheating for them on the standardized test. The statement about school was an opinion/rhetorical statement and it does warrant a response.
U just went off on the deep in. If you are a Blogger go blog about the ATL school system because that is not the topic. Lol
Is that AJ Johnson in the pictures with her? Looks like loads of fun! Happy Birthday Tameka!
School start 1/2/13 everywhere. I’m not a fan of Tameka but there her kids she can do what she want when she wants. I just saying that these kids get dragged through the media more then a little. And that’s on both parents. Yeah Usher a celebrity so of course he gonna always be I’m the media I but Tameka is not so why do she need so much attention. This media game can hurt more then it helps. The same reason she gave for Usher being incapable is the same thing she doing (drinking and partying) around the kids’.
Not sayin I like Usher no more than I like Tameka but she need to chill out sometimes cuz them last pics of her drunk sitting outside the house is not cute when you get that old. Then you involved in a custody battle??? How you look? If I was the judge they a be wit dey daddy too…IJS. Cute kids tho.
These boys are too cute and photogenic. We may budding young celebrities before our eyes.
Anyone ever see GRACE MIGUEL with her kids? how come no one noticed that old woman left her kids for Usher
I agree. Usher need to get it together
I thought her kids were older? Wow. Usher seem to like women with addictive personalities that have to be near him at all times. Hell Chili still drools when saying his name. Or are they afraid he will cheat.
I got a glance of Usher and Grace at Cancun with his work team. She all smiling when cameras on. Off she looks angry. I bet Usher can’t even go to the men’s room without having Grace looking over his shoulder. I couldn’t see Usher being head over heels for Grace. Looked at his body language too. If it wasn’t for all the rumors I would never thought they were a couple. That’s my impression. Maybe when they’ re alone it is different.
The rumors are Ush dating ciarra Pardo. they spend new years n costa rica. I just read sandra rose blog post. grace andciarra are longtime coworkers so this will be interesting Muuuaaaah
You what her and Grace look a lot alike. I think that’s true because the whole crew was at Joe’s in Manhattan last month and I swore she was Grace but they keep calling her Cee-Cee. And I ask my sister I said why ya’ll call her Cee-Cee and she said let go. but I think you right and they started like arguing because he wanted leave with out her
Not saying I no them or be around but my sis no a few people in the business cause she use to do work for Rihanna back in the day.
Yeah she does look a lot alike Grace. I can also see some similarities to Chanel Iman the chick in his video Dive. Both pretty. Ciarra was with Usher at Choacehlla 2011 and I reacted how it didn’t look like Grace bcz I didn’t remeber her being so dark skinned. That explains everything. So what’s the deal? Grace and Ciarra have been taking turns? If this is true I think these women have zero respect or love for each other to be star struck, and lust driven with no sense of self value. Smh
Idk What Sandra Rose is talking about cause Grace was there on the helicopter with them but Usher been around this Ciarra chick for a minute She use to Post mad pictures of him on twitter I no she real cool with Rihanna and you no birds of a feather . But he alway be looking annoyed when he with Grace. Atleast in the beginning with Tameka and Chilli he always smiled.
Vay stfu. Look at the other comments if you don’t like mines
I’m not making anything a fact. I use common sense. I been on Porters so I know there ragdy. Also been on resorts. Make something up dumb ass look at the pictures the proof right there. You post what you want sO I can too.And she didn’t want people to talk about her maybe she need to stop trying to be a celebrity
Everybody up her said the samething about school and pictures go bash somebody else. You Tameka can fall of the them Porter for all I care.
hahahahaha you mad huh keyboard gangsta!? lol
Chile your "sense" isnt so common…do you REALLY think that I am going to fight with you over Usher and Tameka of all people?! Go find the busiest street in your town and play in traffic honey booboo.
Mental illness is serious…take your meds.
Vay you must not have life. I will not give you our Maneka 1ounce of energy. Team Ursh all day. So I m gonna go take my Med and stan d in traffic *Meka * I mean Vay OK. And your other personality can continue to blogg good thing about OK.
*about you*
Me…Tameka…oh ok I’ve been called worse. Now what did I say "good" about myself…dang I mean Tameka? Absolutely NOTHING I just didnt have anything negative to say about myself…I mean her either. WHY? Because I dont know what the hell was going on in those pics or who she drinks in front of. If you look at the one of me I mean her alone she appears to be standing in the middle of the Ocean and we KNOW she aint walking on water! lol Here is the difference between you and I "Team Usher all day" and I aint riding on neither one of their "teams". Aint nobody got time for dat. Here comes a truck…green light…go!! lol
I like you Vay you alright with me.LOL. But you have to agree the overexposure is getting out of hand.
cm’on stayfly,vay is the sweetest and sensible on this blog…dont attack her like that,not cool…….anyways,good to see u both ended up getting along ,kudos!!!
Cute kids & Fun times with Mom….. you can’t beat that!
I’m not TeamUsher nor TeamTameka but I must say, allowing the boys to set sail without life jackets is equivalent to riding in a car without your seatbelt on…Not good!!
Beautiful family!
Don’t usually comment but FYI I’m a teacher and I don’t go back to work until Monday Jan. 7th. We had 2 weeks off. Many charter and private schools have longer breaks. Period.
Anywho, is it me or is every celeb in Anguilla/St. Barth’s for the holidays?
Yes, I too noticed the trend. Never been to Anguilla, but St. Bart’s is beautiful. I only wish I was able to visit yearly.
I can’t believe Tameka isn’t taking every safety precaution in her power given the tragic death of her son.
Because of the children’s ages, the boat should not have pulled off without life jackets on the children and they should remain on.
Awww they are having a blast happy kids that’s the point.
It’s nice to see she grieved Kile for 2DAYS and went back to work being a Stone Cold Narcissistic….. Please Have several Seats-Your the Last woman on URIVS list kids or Not . Get Yo Life and a Date-Desparado lol
wow nice of usher to let her have her own kids on her bday! (after stealing them from her because he didnt want to pay child support)
No the judge give Usher custody of his children. He can’t steal something that is his fool. And Judging from the life jacket incidents we see why. You sound foolish. Clear your mind behind you speak.
Obsess much? It was a joke stop catching feelings weirdo.
Yes I’m fully aware that the children were not literally stolen
Clearly you are the fool in this situation you are trying to debate
Usher and tamekas business as if you are one of them. Sit down
And get a reality check- this is not your life! "Fool"
STFU migrant worker
@ Michelle…Tameka was awarded joint visitation BUT is not currently being enforced since she is requesting a new Judge take over the case. So he really didnt do her a favor it was probably just her week/time to have the kids anyway. Currently they have joint custody like they always have. Also even if the new order would have still been in place he would still be paying her child support no matter what…
Umm, thanks? It was really just a joke but as for child support maybe I should’ve said he didn’t want to pay the full amount.
Three things:
I was wondering how many days into the new year it would be before Meka popped up on SFTA.
I wonder when Meka’s "Straight from the A" contract is due to expire?
It’s a million (real) celebrities in Atlanta….why don’t we see their kids sometimes.
LOL
