Usher's ex-wife is being sued for $50,000. Tameka Foster - who recently lost custody of the couple's two sons Usher Raymond V and Naviyd to the "Climax" singer - is reportedly being evicted from three retail spaces she rents in Georgia after failing to pay her landlord.
Antelope Valley Plaza (AVP) says Tameka owes almost $37,000 in rent and they are also suing her for late charges and unpaid taxes, according to TMZ. However, Tameka, who runs a play area for children from the building, has accused AVP of breaching the contract and has asked for the case to be dropped.
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed Usher is planning to sell the Georgia mansion Tameka currently lives in and has ordered her to move out. She has been living in the house alone since they split but their divorce agreement stated that Usher could sell the property at any time as long as he gave her 60 days notice.

Usher’s Ex: ‘I’m Not a Gold-Digger’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Divorce,
Usher's ex-wife Tameka Raymond thinks she has been stereotyped as a "gold-digger."
The 41-year-old stylist - who was married to the "Yeah" singer for two years until 2009 - claims she is fully able to support herself and claims those who call her a money grabber should think more before they speak as they are suggesting Usher is not loveable without his cash.
"I think this is the typical stereotype. If a woman who has lesser means, even if she is successful and hardworking and does her thing in her own right, marries someone that's what they call marrying up, someone that has more means or more money, they're automatically a gold digger. I haven't seen one unity where someone hasn't been called a gold digger. The woman is always a gold digger. It's kind of an insult to the men because it means they're not loveable."

Usher wants to settle his messy custody battle with ex-wife Tameka Raymond.
The 33-year-old singer is keen to sort out a deal after his 11-year-old stepson Kyle Glover - the child of Tameka and her former partner Ryan Glover - was hit by a jet ski earlier this month and pronounced brain dead on Monday. Sources close the couple have told TMZ that Usher spoke to his lawyers earlier this week and asked them to construct a new proposal that will give Tameka "a majority" custody of their two sons, Usher Raymond V, four, and three-year-old Naviyd Ely Raymond. Usher is also said to be raising his child support offer "significantly" after Tameka reportedly refused an offer from him over the weekend that stipulated a 50/50 share of custody and a very slight increase in child support.

Usher’s Stepson Declared Brain Dead
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music,
Kyle Glover - the child of the singer's ex-wife Tameka and her former partner Ryan Glover - was unresponsive when he was rescued from Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday after being struck on the head by a passing jet ski while riding on an inner tube and taken to the Children's Healthcare unit at Egleston Hospital in Atlanta, but has "not experienced any brain activity" since being admitted, a source told gossip website TMZ.com.
A decision has yet to be made on whether to take the youngster off life support.
Tameka took to her Facebook page to thank fans and family for their support and urged them to pray for her little boy. "Kyle, You are strong ... You'll be saved I know it. I love you my baby. I need all #Prayers for my son! thanks you everybody! (sic)" the mother of five wrote.
Tameka - who has been undergoing a bitter custody battle with Usher over their sons Usher VI, four, and Naviyd Ely, three - was "extremely thankful" to her former spouse after he reportedly chartered a plane for her to fly back to Atlanta to be by Kyle's side.
Tameka Foster ‘Begged Usher to Withdraw Custody Petition
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Divorce, Legal Issues, Rumors,
The mother of his two sons - Usher Raymond V, four, and Naviyd Ely Raymond, three - insisted that she did not initiate the current court battle that the pair are involved in.
"I did not start this. I did not file this. Usher did. I begged him to withdraw the petition, but he didn't listen. The media jumped on my answer to his petition for custody as if I initiated it, and I did not. Why would I try to keep his children away from him? We have joint custody and I want to continue to have their father around to help out. Raising children is a lot of work," she said.
She also hit back at rumors that the pair are enemies, explaining that they do not hate each other: "We're not [enemies]. But people still find a way to make it more salacious than it has to be. I don't know how he deals with it, but I refuse to let the media manipulate what should be a personal situation and turn me into the villain."

Usher broke down in tears at allegations he was a bad father in an Atlanta court yesterday. The 33-year-old singer was accused of excessive partying by his ex-wife Tameka Foster's attorney, who showed pictures of him out at clubs while in Europe recently.
The attorney also asked him whether he took drugs to try and prove he was not a fit parent to stop him from getting further time with his children, Usher Raymond V, four and Naviyd Ely, three. According to TMZ.com, Usher admitted to smoking marijuana but said he had not done so in front of the children.
The trial will continue today.

The "OMG" singer - who is currently embroiled in a bitter custody battle with his former spouse over their kids Usher, four, and Naviyd, three - took to the stand in an Atlanta court today where he testified against Tameka and alleged she "wanted to fight" when he turned up at her house with his new flame.
According to gossip website TMZ, Usher claims Tameka walked to his car and said, "I'm gonna kick your ass. Bitch get out of the car. How dare you bring this woman into my subdivision in my house? She continued to spit. At this point she pulled the door open, tried to swing at her."
Usher claims he had to get out of the car and block Tameka but she hit him. He then pleaded with Tameka to calm down, but claims "she threw a plate of food at the car." He then said he fled the situation.
At the beginning of this month, the couple were ordered to work out their differences and come to an agreement over custody of their children, a sticking point in their divorce proceedings. Usher, 33, and Tameka, 40, filed for divorce in June 2009 after almost two years of marriage.

Usher Looks Up to Hugh Hefner
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Dating, Divorce,
Usher admits his pending divorce from Tameka Foster has put him off getting married again, but he is tempted to find some "open-minded" women to keep him company instead.
"Seeing how marriage didn't work out for me the first time, I'm in no rush to do it again," the hitmaker said. "Maybe I can find a couple of women who are open-minded. Look at how Hugh Hefner does it, with a harem of women."
The 32-year-old singer filed for divorce from Tameka -- with whom he has two children -- last year, claiming they had been living separately for months. Although he says the split was difficult, he claims his career was boosted because people are always interested in "train wrecks."
"In an era when sensationalism is more prevalent than anything, yeah, the split helped my popularity. People love a train wreck," he told Playboy magazine. "Lindsay Lohan - everybody is eager to see how that comes out. This is somewhat the same thing."
Usher doesn't plan on rushing straight into a new relationship, but claims he can be won over by pick-up lines. "Every so often you meet a woman who's very aggressive: 'I'll make you feel things you've never felt in your life.' Or, 'Once you get it, you'll never let it go.' But a couple of times it's worked," he added.
