I exclusively revealed a few days ago that Usher Raymond had chose to move forward with the bitter custody battle against his ex-wife Tameka Foster Raymond?just days after she was forced to bury her 11 year old son Kile Glover.

Usher’s STANS came out the woodwork to blindly protect their “GOD of Music” and many straight up called me a liar, saying “Usher would NEVER do anything like that… he’s not like that”…. blah… blah… blah…
Well… think again!
Tameka?has now broken her silence and?released an official statement regarding the custody battle between she and her ex.
Read full statement below…
To begin, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the countless number of people who opened their hearts, extended their prayers, well-wishes and remained hopeful for my son Kile during the last weeks of his life. I truly believe that he has always been an Angel from birth and the World was just too small to contain a spirit so vast. I’m thankful and blessed to merely be the vessel that carried him and humbled that God gave him to us to love. I also feel humbled by everyone?s show of concern, and knowing that Kile Glover touched the lives of so many has given me strength during my worst & darkest hour ? Again I THANK YOU ALL! Sadly, I remain in the unfortunate position of having to respond to and attend court proceedings that were not initiated or begun by me. I did not file this custody case (January 2011) and was content with the ?joint custody? arrangement that we share. Most importantly, nor do I wish to appear in court while I am mourning the loss of my son. But I do not want to delay thus prolong these proceedings either; I’d rather continue this arduous process hoping it will help move me through this most difficult period in my life.
People seem to be privy to only my filed responses as ?Defendant? to the initiation of this case (Jan 4, 2011), when I have only been defending myself and protecting the best interests of my children through my counsel. I cannot control how the media reports are written/slanted/spun or even how court documents may be manipulated in their attribution of certain statements as if they are direct ?quotes? from me- yet I can control what I actually say myself.
This may sound really clich? but you must NOT believe everything you read or hear and never judge? especially without solid facts and always, but always consider the source. Discernment is key. My boys are my entire world and I will fight tooth and nail to keep all of my sons together as a family, I pray for a swift, peaceful resolution so that we all can move forward.
Again, thank you for your concern, positive energy and hope for my family during this surreal time. There have been times when just the right words, at the right time, have provided me shelter through this storm and I appreciate you all. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.
With Love & Light,
Tameka Foster Raymond
My heart truly goes out to her and while I’m sure there are those of you who think all of this is just fun & games, it’s not. There are real living breathing children involved in this situation. And in addition to Tameka losing her son Kile, Naviyd and Usher V also lost their brother.
The couple now maintains joint custody. Those of you who tried to defend Usher by saying that the August 13th court date was already set, should be aware that this is a civil suit and the petitioner (i.e. Usher) has the power to dismiss it at will. Point. Blank. Period.
Did he dismiss it? No… instead?Usher wanted to delay the hearing for a while, but for no other reason than he felt that Tameka’s loss would garner too much sympathy from the judge (and rightfully so!).
I was in the courtroom and I personally saw how Usher masterfully avoided questions and how arrogant he was towards the judge in the case….

So am I biased? Probably. But whatev!
All I wanna know is…
Who wins if Usher chooses to move forward with this situation? Who wins if Usher’s money and high-powered PR team continues to bash his son’s mother? Who wins if this isn’t really a “game” in the first place?
