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’s Stepson Dies
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Obituaries,
Usher's 11-year-old stepson has died, two weeks after he was critically injured in a jet ski accident.
Kyle Glover - the child of Usher's ex-wife Tameka Raymond and her former partner Ryan Glover - passed away yesterday after the family made the heartbreaking decision to turn off his life support machine. Kyle was struck in the head during a jet ski collision while riding an inner tube on Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Georgia, earlier this month and his mother is understandably "devastated" over her loss.
Willie A. Watkins funeral home in Atlanta has confirmed it will be handling the funeral arrangements for the little boy. Last week, Kyle's family asked for prayers as they kept a bedside vigil following the tragic accident. "We know God's in control, and are leaning on our faith in Him and His word at this most difficult time. We firmly believe in the power of prayer and ask that you all continue to pray and lift Kile up, as it's the best way we can all support him now," they said in a statement.

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.
