Let The Rumors Fly: Usher Not The Father of 2nd Child?

As the world turns... I swear that's what this feels like. A new twist in the Usher and Tameka divorce sith. Seems Usher wants to test the paternity of his youngest son Naviyd. Ok... so I know he's not that damn dumb to let it go on this long if he's had doubts... but... that could have very well been the straw that broke the camels back for Ush. This mess is running neck and neck with Nas and Kelis' ridiculously messy divorce.

According to Enquirer (if you believe anything they write), Usher is hoping to tip the divorce scales in his favor by questioning the paternity of his 6 month old son Naviyd:

“The first thing Usher said was, ‘How did that happen?’ — because he was gone a lot, and their sex life was very, very limited,” a friend of the star reveals. “He’s determined to get truthful answers.” When Naviyd was born last December, Usher and Tameka, 38, were already separated. The “Confessions” star became concerned that Tameka had been unfaithful to him after friends confessed that the former celebrity stylist had “got with another man” in the early stages of her rough patch with Usher. It is a claim Tameka vehemently denies. In fact, the soon-to-be two-time divorcee insists her younger hubby is the father of her infant son and she’s ready to take the star to the cleaners for even suggesting otherwise. “She says that although they weren’t spending that much time together, they did get together for one night of passion. And that’s when she got pregnant,” the snitch whispers, adding that Tameka is “going to fight for what she thinks she should have.”

Tameka also claims in a recent court filing that despite what the reports have been saying, she and Usher have not been separated since July 2008 as Usher claims, in fact, they were “intimately together” less than a week before he started divorce proceedings, which is where the whole SURPRISE factor comes into play!

Supposedly, there is at least $80 mil at stake here and you best believe that Tameka wants 'haf... I want haf Eddie'... some of you are too young to get that!

Tameka Foster's BFF Says "Tameka Didn't Even Know"

Essence magazine caught up with Tameka Fosters best friend of 20 years Nyeisha DeWitt and lets her clear the air about a few things regarding her friends impending messy divorce. Like any best friend, Nyeisha says that she doesn't like to see Tameka hurting this way and being portrayed in a bad light in the media. She says that despite going through this ordeal, it's only obvious that Tameka still loves Usher. She also tells Essence that this whole divorce thing was a big surprise to Tameka *side eyein bff hella hard on that one*!!! C'mon now... we know when our relationships/marriages are on their last leg. Check out the interview below:

ESSENCE.COM: Many are probably wondering why you're choosing to speak now after Tameka endured a hailstorm of criticism for years.

NYEISHA DEWITT: Let me first say that I hope Tameka and Usher can salvage things as a couple. I've known Tameka since I was in middle school and she was in high school, and we've been friends since. It's not that I have to defend her or speak on her behalf as if she's done something wrong, but I simply want people to know everything they read about her isn't true. It hurts me to read the lies that people write and say about her.

ESSENCE.COM: Is it true she first learned that Usher filed for divorce after reading about it?

DEWITT: She didn't know that he was going to file. Of course, she knew that there were challenges in their relationship and had been some discord since March and was aware there were some things that needed to be worked through. But did she know that divorce was imminent? No. It was a total surprise.

ESSENCE.COM: Was Tameka also caught off guard by the images of Usher and Def Jam's Grace Miguel?

DEWITT: I don't know what it is or isn't. What I admire about Tameka is that, despite all the gossip, she isn't bitter or hardened by it. I don't know how she does it especially with children [from a previous relationship] old enough to read the lies that are written. It's like having to keep your hands at your side while someone repeatedly punches you in your face.

Tameka Foster Sends More Dumb Tweets... On Accident

Oh 'Meka Boo... you just keep on keepin on home girl. Why don't you just stop talkin while you still have the chance. Well... wait a minute... no scratch that- You just keep the drama coming because you're giving me more stuff to talk about... and apparently you're giving Usher exactly what his attorney's need.

Let's just say that Tameka Foster is the "Twitter-Dumb" of a couple. On Wednesday, Foster went and tried to send a direct message to her friend Star Jones via the popular website Twitter.com. It obviously didn't work beccause everyone who is a friend on her list saw it... and it read:

"@starjonesesq my lawyer= horrible. Need the name/number of a good one in Atlanta,"

Recognizing her mistake -- and the fact that she just told the world what she really thinks of her divorce attorney, Randall M. Kessler, the 40-year-old, mother of five then posted another tweet asking:

"Please delete this...it was a DM mistake. Not for ppl to see. I'm sorry."

Now... she's either hella dumb and just isn't that computer savvy, or... that was on purpose and she's using it somehow to work in her benefit *thinking*... I defer to go with the former option instead of the latter on this one. One would think that Foster would have Twitter mastered by now, as she regularly uses the social networking site to misquote Bible verses and inspirational affirmations lifted from various spiritual gurus.

Guess not. This is Tameka we're talking about here.

Usher Wants EVERYTHING!

More and more details about the Usher/Tameka Foster divorce are coming to light. According to divorce documents filed by Usher this past Friday, the couple have actually been separated since July 2008. While they were going around like they were still together, they actually were not—meaning that the couple only lived as man and wife for 11 months. I guess long enough to make the two babies Usher V, and Naviyd.

The court documents read: "The marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken," which means there is no going back "There is no reasonable hope of reconciliation.". DAMN!

It also has come out that Tameka hired a detective to follow Usher around to check up on his infidelity. Usher wants the right to be able to look at all the documentation Tameka has kept during the course of their marriage, which began Aug. 3, 2007. This includes tax files, paycheck stubs, bank account information and other financial records, insurance policies, real-estate rental agreements, medical records and automobile registrations.

On the more personal—and potentially acrimonious—side of things, he's also seeking copies of "notes, cards, letters, photographs, film, documents, tapes, voice recordings, gift, jewelry, clothes" or other evidence that reflects on Usher's conduct during their marriage, as well as detective reports, photos or recordings that have resulted from either "surveillance or investigation" of her onetime better half. That whole thing ties into the rumors that Tameka hiring a private investigator as stated before.

Making sure no stone is left unturned—or potentially leaked to the media, no doubt—he's also requesting copies of "any and all diaries or personal notes kept…during the course of the marriage." Finally, Usher is asking for joint legal and physical custody of their two sons together, 18-month-old Usher V and 6 month-old Naviyd Ely, saying the tots "are substantially dependent upon each party for support."

Damn... between Usher and Nas... I wonder who's going to come out on top! This is gettin good!

Tameka Foster's Lawyer Speaks On Infidelity Rumors

Before all of the ugliness of this divorce hits the airwaves and our newspapers, etc... Tameka Foster's lawyer wants to clear the air about any rumors that his client was unfaithful to her husband.

Tameka Raymond's attorney is preemptively nipping in the bud any theories that either infidelity or a third party played a part in the duo's decision to divorce. "She's a great mom," Randy Kessler said. "She's been a loyal wife. She's trying her best to take the high road and not attack him."

I'm sure 'Meka Boo is looking to cash in off of her ex. And now that she has two children by him, hell... she just might. It's just sad though. Everybody knew this marriage was doomed from the beginning. When you alienate your friends, your fans, and even your own damn mama... yeah... ur karma is shot dude! But 'Meka has been cool about it all. She's been twittering here and there and hasn't had anything bad to say about Ush. Can't knock that.

Rumors Confirmed: Usher Officially Files For Divorce

Contrary to what I reported the other day, Usher actually did not file for divorce from his estranged wife Tameka Foster until today (June 12) in the Fulton County Superior Court in downtown Atlanta. Apparently Ush called around to several courts before deciding on Fulton County. I seached the net and found the actual petition to the court that Usher filed. Check it out below:

Usher Files For Divorce

I'm so tired of posting about these two on and off again, but this time, it's looking more real than ever before.

Usher and stylist Tameka Foster have been living apart for the past year, according to U.S. publication In Touch. Divorce papers were filed in Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday morning (11Jun09). The shocking news comes just four months after Foster suffered cardiac arrest during cosmetic surgery in Brazil. At the time, Usher, who flew to be by her side, insisted he had no idea his wife was there for the procedure.

A source close to the couple says, “Usher’s primary concern is for his children. He is a great father and just wants to do what is right for them.” The couple has two kids together, Usher Raymond V, 18 months, and Naviyd, six months.

Tameka Foster Tweets Venom At Blogger

Uhhhh, how old are you again Tameka? Don't you have a family you need to be tending to? Anyways... Tameka Foster-Raymond, wife of R&B singer Usher, is once again refuting infidelity rumors, but this time she did it on her Twitter page... just like everybody else nowadays.

The 38-year-old mother of five got into a heated "posting war" with a Twitter follower who questioned why her husband was spotted checking into a hotel with an unidentified woman.

"Your friends have been dropping hints about you and Usher all along. Umm, why isn't your husband following you on Twitter?" The blogger asked.

Foster-Raymond, who initially brushed off the comments, eventually responded directly to the heckler.

"You're an angry woman. I don't know who hurt you, but it wasn't me. I will pray for you. I'm happy & life is GOOD for me! Enjoy yours."

The "mystery woman" who was spotted in Malibu with Usher, set the rumor mill abuzz with claims of an alleged affair. Speculation grew even more after it was reported that the singer was not wearing his wedding ring. The woman was later identified as an product manager, who was meeting with the Grammy winner for business purposes. This information however did little to convince the blogger... or any of us for that matter.

Whatever 'Meka Boo!

Tameka Foster-Raymond Stands Up For Her Man

Tameka Foster-Raymond went on record with Essence and defends her man and his risque' new video for his third single "Trading Places".

"My husband is a consummate artist and entertainer," Foster, 37, told ESSENCE.com. "This video is strictly entertainment and was made for his fans. I am clear that he is a sexy man and looks amazing in this clip. I support my husband in his endeavors."

Does that statement not sound rehearsed to you too? Whateve Meka-Boo!

Tameka Foster Gives Back To Her Hood

I guess Tameka Foster isn't ALL bad huh?

Following in the footsteps of R&B sensation, and her husband Usher Raymond, Tameka Foster has incorporated her own little give back to the community event in her hometown of Oakland, CA in the form of a "Back To School Expo" with her mans efforts in voter registration.

The first annual event, at Oakland’s City Hall Aug. 24, will include a fashion show (Usher’s other half was once his stylist), a teen summit and a talent showcase. And in addition to giving school supplies to an expected 600 public school students, the Oakland Natives Give Back Fund will also welcome an unnamed “well-known recording artist”, according to the press release.

I think it's pretty damn obvious who that's going to be right? Not rocket science here people.
