boris and his wife have beautiful kids….

everything else,blahh

boris - a good look

usher - smh

janet - still smh

bow wow/omarion - who cares…

Tameka’s a man in disguise, but hea, Usher ain’t complaining! Hmmmmmm?

Angel,

According to a report that I read, Ludacris was removed from the cover of Ebony Magazine in reaction to the Don Imus Issue
* the “nappy headed hoes” comment.

According to what I read, Ebony & Jet Magazine no longer want to be associated with artist’s that refer for Black Woman as Bitches or Hoes…

I believe that Ludacris has a record that states that he has “hoes in every area code”

Peace

My Ebony “just” came in the mail…I love the cover!!!
As for the rest of this post ironically enough all these topics are being discussed on The Wendy Williams Experience right as I type gotta luv it lol~

First things first:

I want to know why is it that when I sometimes try to post comments they don’t post. Is somebody comment blocking? Is there a certain quota of comments per one sitting? If someone on the CL staff could get back to me on this issue EXPEDITIOUSLY…it would greatly be appreciated!

Usher, quit being whipped. All I know is your album better be Confessions times 10 the way you walking round like a broke dick dog!

music…. music.. music.. we will see what step this takes us in… bow and omarion? we shall see. i actually liked omarions last album…. cant say the same for bow wow.

maybe Bow Wow should learn to rap and not cop everyone’s style (T.I., Lil’ Wayne) but his own before he makes another album?

Ok! I’m tired of just because a child has “good hair” the parents don’t feel like they need to do it! Boris and Nicole should be ashamed that their kids graced a magazine without some kind of comb or brush!!!

Usher’s wifey looks kind of manly!

Love Janet but I think that’s a bad move to make with JD

O and BowWow: Modern day Bobsie twins but can’t knock their hustle!!!

I became a Ludacris fan once I saw that he a rapper with a brain and he is much more involved and he has evolved as far as his music goes…. Love that song done in Africa. Boris Cudjoe is fine and more appropriate for the look of the magazine…. I do respect the magazines decision in not profiling artists who are negative towards women as their clientele is made up of mostly women. I just hope it not a bad business decision…

Why is Ush fronting? He know he is hyping people up to buy his album when it drops. Next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Laughin at the title…best of both worlds teeny bopper edition!!!! I wonder if there is going to be any beef poppin off with this one…I got dibs on Bow Wow kickin the shit out of O

I loved Omarion’s album though

Usher needs to clean up…I liked him better in his “Chilli” days…she had they dude looking right…

Temeka needs a life…but she’s takin Usher’s

Boris and fam look nice, too bad for Luda

Boo to O and Bow Wow (tricks are for kids)…I’m a grown ass woman…lol (sorry…thought that was funny)

Don’t really give 2 smacks about Janet and Mr. Dupri…good luck tho

J. Lewis…u wrong for that picture!

Sorry I posted twice but that’s what happens when it doesn’t immediately take your comment the first time lol

Tameka breast look like some inflated airbags

Best of Both Worlds again-No thanks

Tameka does look a bit manly in that pic. I’m just saying.

Bow Wow and Omarion= Jay Z and R. Kelly part 2. And we all know how that turned out.

Awww, Boris and his children are too cute, luvs them…

I’m soo sick of hearing about the love triangle going on between him and his two mamas…

Congrats to Jermaine!!! Even though I’m not really a fan of his production skills, I hope that he will do well as president. It’s nice to see he and Janet are still holding strong.

Bow Wow and Omarion doing an album together? LOL, that should be interesting, but I think I’ll pass!

Oops, I meant I’m so tired of hearing about the love triangle going on between Usher and his two mamas

Is Usher out of his effin’ mind?!! Does he not realize that marriage now-a-days is HARDLY about love anymore? It’s all about the doe and for him to just cut ties with everyone who damn near made him who he is is just crazy.

I don’t kno about this relationship….it sure as hell ain’t on Bigga status *at least that we ALL care about—somewhat* but it’s a lil’ scary that this dude is making all these crazy decisions

Y’all wrong for thinking that Tameka a tranny..lol..Janet baby your album didn’t do good because it suck so changing lables is doing you know good if you continue to work with Jermaine you baby his music doesn’t fit your style get some better producers it will gurantee hotness!…Bill’s comment sum it all up for me about Ludacris although I lie him but hey Hip-Hop got do better;-)..Boris kids are cute and the cover is lovely..Bow WoW and Omarion (((yawn)))

AS FOR BORIS, HE IS A FINE MAN WITH A BEAUTIFUL WIFE, AND THEIR CHILDREN ARE ADORABLE. THEYRE THE KIND OF COUPLE THAT WHEN YOU SEE THEM TOGETHER IT MAKES YOU SMILE. EVEN IF YOU DONT KNOW ALL OF THEIR BUSINESS(which you shouldnt). AS FOR JANET, I TRULY AND HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT SHE HAS WORKED LONG AND HARD ENOUGH. SHE HAS LEFT AWESOME FOOTPRINTS FOR YOUNGER “PERFORMERS”(she does put on an entertaining performance even if she cant sing ballads or hit outrageous octaves) TO STEP INTO. SHE SHOULD BOW OUT GRACEFULLY. AS FOR OMARION AND BOW WOW…..ummmmmm whatever

If it’s true - Why would Usher want to be with someone who his Moms filed a TRO against? It sounds really crazy, but a few weeks ago I thought him replacing his Mom with Tameka as his manager was crazy….

Janet and JD on the same label didn’t work out so well before, sometimes there needs to be a separation with business and personal relationships.

Ebony not only replaced Ludracris on the cover, they didn’t even include him and his daughter in the article… but Russell Simmons is included, so they didn’t exclude hip-hop altogether.

LOL - ain’t that the truth. One of them need to whip him, the other got him whipped.

I cant believe he’s(usher) FYCKIN her. Luvin those Kids too cute. Boris gots it going on. They have a beautiful family.

To make a best of both worlds… don’t you have to be considered the “BEST”?

Usher better be careful before he ends up broke and on the corner of Peachtree singing for some spare change.

I think I’ve overposed myself to CL, I need to take a break (*something that Beyonce can’t do*)

(*slaps self*) DON’T EVER SPEAK OF HER NAME UP IN AN UNRELATED POST AGAIN!

-BORIS’ KIDS ARE CUTE.

-I GUESS THOSE OLD RUMORS BOUT USHER BEING GAY WERE TRUE CUZ TAMEKA LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS BORN TYRONE.

-UMM.. GREAT FOR JD… BUT SOMEONE SHOULD REALLY TELL JANET TO GIVE IT UP. HER DAYS ARE OVER.

-BOW WOW & OMARION? THEY WILL SELL.. BUT I WONT BE BUYING IT.

I’m glad they replaced Ludacris by Boris, I feel Boris is a much much better model to our people and young boys, as a man. He’s the definition of the perfect man to me, and I’m so proud of him, Nicole, and their beautiful family. I commend EBONY for doing what they did.

Usher will regret it, not because he fired his mother, but because he fired her BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE TOLD HIM TO. That’s ridiculous, he didn’t do it out of maturity, he did it to please somebody else, love can make people act like complete idiots.

Janet Jackson can go wherever she wants to, one thing I’m asking is to NOT ALLOW JERMAINE TO PRODUCE TRACKS FOR HER EVER AGAIN! She lost all credibility as an artist because of his productions. It works with Mariah it doesn’t with Janet.

Message to Bow Wow and Omarion : Jay-Z and RKelly already did that, and knowing that y’alls singing and rapping are corny, try something else thank you.

I read the statement from Usher’s publicist - she definitely is taking the high road - and she has a lot of high profile clients, so she’s not hurting.
But like his mom, she has basically been with him from the start - 10 years.

I hope this all works out for Usher, he’s a talented brother.

THEY LIKE BRO AND SIS. THEM SHADES AREN’T HELPIN EITHER.

Y’all don’t know nothing about that egomaniac Boring Kodjoe. He might look good but he is the typical light skinned mixed up too cute for his or the world’s own good brotha. He can’t act his way outta a paper bag and I hope his looks last forever cuz’ he is gonna need them and I like his wife, she can act!
Boris go home now, the tour is over, go home to your wife and kids!

THEY LOOK LIKE BRO AND SIS. THOSE SHADES AREN’T HELPING EITHER.

WTF, Ludacris Gets Dissed By Ebony Magazine For Boris Kudjoe??

Every since Don Imus made those ridiculous comments regarding the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team that ultimately got him canned, everyone has been feeling the ripples of censorship.

From Television to Radio it seems that we’ve all been playing it extremely safe, particularly in Hip-Hop, when it comes to what we say and how we’re saying it. The hot topic has gotten so heated that it seems that fortune 500 companies as well as national publications are looking at rappers with a certain uneasiness that’s apparently tricked all the way to down to Atlanta rapper Ludacris.

According to published reports Ludacris has been dropped by Ebony Magazine as their June cover guy picking Boris Kudjoe instead. It seems that the Hip-Hop controversy has become all but too much for the conservative magazine and they have just decided to play it safe and go with a squeaky clean family man.

In a statement obtained by Gyant this is what Ebony has to say regarding the matter:

The Don Imus-fueled controversy over misogynistic rap lyrics surrounds Ebony magazine’s recent decision to pull rapper Ludacris from the cover of its June issue on “the New Black Fathers” and replace him with actor, Boris Kodjoe, reports Journal-isms. “Something has changed in America in the last few weeks,” Bryan Monroe, editorial director of Ebony and Jet magazines, told Journal-isms, without disclosing the identity of the rapper. As president of the National Association of Black Journalists, Monroe led the movement to have Imus fired. “I think the media is being called to account in these areas,” Monroe said.

Boris and his children are beautiful, the little girl favors her mother more. I Love to see positive images of fathers of African lineage.

Usher and Tameka: My mother stated that she thinks that Usher is on Drugs, and he is going to go through some struggles because of how he did his mother. Usher is going to lose most of his young fan base-which is his bread and butter. This woman is aging him so badly.

I wish Janet the best, I am glad that she is with a brother.

Bow Wow and Omarion: They need to lose the corn rolls, they look frizzy. Only Allen Iverson should wear cornrolls. Bow Wow grew up quick, or am I getting old.. well, I am 28 so I would say that he grew up quick. Omarion is ok, not my type, because I like my men older, but his music sounds good. He is not corny like his older brother.

didnt know bow wow and omarion were having problems?

boris looks soo gwed wit hizz kids
DAMN Tameka izz a Man i guess usher no3s dat was a man transformed eww to bow wow n janet friends/ relationships never last when they mix business with pleasure

Why is it that when an artist reaches a certain age, we feel that they should bow out gracefully? Janet is a true superstar, and is entitled to make a mistake along the way. If you are a true fan, you will believe that her best is on the way.

#18 I agree. The 2007 Kells n Jigga.

Boris how beautiful you are! There iz a GAWD!!!

Mr. Raymond- always full of DRAMA, but hey he knows how to keep himself in the spotlight.

Boris kids look just like their mother;tough luck

It’s about time I see a pick of Tameka, she does look like a man, even though she has shades on. This whole thing is phony…. He’ll be back with Mama.

Bow and O…. Sounds like a hot idea… good look.

Boris and the children look nice on the cover.

Tameka is protecting her intrest!! Ushers’ Mom should get ready for a fight. LOL

Ms Diva said: Ok! I’m tired of just because a child has “good hair” the parents don’t feel like they need to do it! Boris and Nicole should be ashamed that their kids graced a magazine without some kind of comb or brush!!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I guess she should have taken them to the hair salon to get their did Oh! I get it. You put dippity-doo in your kids head to make it look like they have “good hair”. WOW!!!!!! Negativity tells a lot about the person who’s got nothing to say but some negative ish. The little girl is in afro puffs and the toddler has a fro, who really isn’t old enough to get the hair cut yet. Sad, you couldn’t step out of your limited box to figure it out.

You should be ashamed of yourself for having NOTHING to say, but still want to post “something”.

Ok, I had to look at that pic of Usher and Tameka again. I still come up with my same conclusion- Tameka looks very manly. She looks like she should be trying out for the Falcons as a linebacker. WTF??

Usher’s mum is gonna need more than a restraining order to hold back that broad.i don’t blame her tho, if my baby boy was drisgracing the Raymond name by fucking wid some manly-heffa i would do the same. actually scratch that, i’d kick her in the balls and run for my damn life

fine ass boris pictures usually make me moist in the panties but the kids are ruining it for me. dang these babies. altho theres also something sexy about a strong black man showing his tender side & caring for little ones……(am i wrong?lol)

In response to T:

Unfortunately you don’t know me because if you did you would defintely know that I am nowhere near to being in a “limited box.” I myself wear my hair natural and there is nothing wrong with throwing a little bow, ribbon or somthing to make hir presentable–especially for a magazine cover. This is a blog for opinons so it’s not really negativity just notice. Thanks!

WHAT’S UP WITHTHE SAME GLASSES AND NOSES

Theres no such thing as a “perfect” man.If so could you please let me know.If he was such a perfect man why is he on this earth living when everything so perfect, wouldn’t that be boring?Would you be learning anything about life?No.

Just because he used those “lyrics” in the past does not make him a bad father.We don’t know how he treats his daughter.Plus just because you get a magazine cover does not make you a great dad.They only dismissed him because they were jumping on the wagon, hard to get attention because nobody buying Ebony no more and they wanted to stir up some controversy.Rule #928942 when it comes to marketing.

YES I DONT KNOW WHY THAT BITCH IS TRYING TO COME TO MAKE MOVES ON THAT SHIT YOU I WILL GIVE YOU A 100000$ IN 3 TO 4 YEARS SHE TOOK ALL HIS MONEY BYE HAVE HIS BABYS AND SHE LOOK LIKE A MAN AND THE ONE THING THAT CUT ABOUT HER IS HER HAIR IF IT HERS .WHY WOULD YOU KICK YOUR MOM TAWAY AND NOT TAHT BITCH IS MIGHT NOT BE GOOD FOR YOU oNE MOUR THING DO YOU SPEN ALL YOU MONEY UP AND THAT BITCH AT YOU LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO DO ALL THE MONEY SPEN NOT KEEP YOUR MIND ON OR MONEY AND KEEP TAHT BITCH OUT YOUR WORK LOVE MONEY I LOVE MONEY THATS WHY I KEEP MONEY AND I DONT LET NO NIGGA TELL WHAT TO DO WITH NO ONE NO ONE

If I were to get married and have kids I want them to look just like Boris and his kids……..Too bad that’s a dream that just won’t happen. *referring to marriage* lol

Usher makes me upset. I swear if his new CD is not up to par, I’m starting a petition for his retirement from singing.

J and J….no comment

Bow and O….if you value your friendship then you wouldn’t attempt to do it. Especially since neither one of you are the best at what you do.

T said: The little girl is in afro puffs and the toddler has a fro, who really isn’t old enough to get the hair cut yet
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Actually, that big boy isn’t a todler yet! He’s just 6months old….What in the world are they feeding him?!

YES IT ME MONEY SORRY FOR SOME OF MY SPELLING BUT YOU MOMFUCK KNOW WHAT I TRYING TO SAY

Usher is…ugh! His new wife…ugh!

Usher’s mom looks better than Tameka.

DAmn CONCRETELOOP YALL love to post old ass news

I knew this hit 2 weeks ago….

Please help. I’ve been trying to change my avatar/display pic, but my old one is still showing. Thanks!

Boris - He has a beautiful family, i’m happy for him and Nicole and i’m glad he’s on the cover. Hellz yeah

Janet - mmm….I’m starting ot think her time with music has passed. 20 Y.O. almost seemed like her last 15 minutes in the fore front of music and then it quickly fell so her changing labels really doesn’t effect me too much

Usher - needs some damn help, and possibly nose reduction surgery

B & O - I still fail to think of either of them as legitimate recording artists

I would much rather look at Boris over Luda anyday. Tameka Foster looks like a drag queen, JD and Janet need to retire, and Bow Wow & Omarion need to gtfoohwtbs

Boris- he sucks but the kids are cute. I still say that Luda should be on the cover. I dont care what kinda lyrics he says he still the ish to me

Janet- I dont even know what to say.

Usher- He need to leave that thing alone and get real.

BOW & O- Omarion is good but I dont think he should do a ablum with corney ass BowWow.

thank you, #43. sadness.

DIVA - as far as i can see, that little girl has her hair in a ponytail in each photo. try enlarging the photos.

BORIS IS BLESSED

USHER IS GONNA GET EVERY TERRIBLE THING HE DESERVES

JANET PLS

BOW WOW IS A LIL BITCH, HE’LL FIND SOME WAY TO FUCK THIS UP, BUT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT…

i’m definitely at a crossroads with this protest against degrading messages in hip hop. i feel like it’s no different from those crazy religious fanatics protesting everything remotely offensive. i never thought id be in their shoes because i felt like, “if you dont like it, dont look/listen.”
but there clearly needs to be a stance on somethin cus mess like this (http://www.tmz.com/2007/05/09/hardcore-fans-hump-for-imus/) brings a damn tear to my eye.

BORIS IS ONE FINE ASS HUMAN BEING AND THE KIDS ARE BEAUTIFUL.
JANET IS A GREAT ARTIST AND SHE HAS PAVED THE WAY FOR ALOT OF ARTISTS. I HOPE THE BEST FOR HER.
BOW WOW AND OMARION *SIT DOWN* ITS BEEN DONE, TRY SOMETHING NEW.
I THINK IT WAS FOUL AS HELL FOR USHER TO FIRE HIS PUBLICIST AND HIS MOMMA, AND TO BE HONEST I THINK HE TRYING TO GET ANOTHER HOT ALBUM OUT OF IT, OBVIOUSLY HE HIT IT BIG WITH “CONFESSIONS”. I BET HE’S PREPARING AN ALBUM NOW AND GOING THROUGH IT STEP BY STEP WITH THAT MANLY MAN OF HIS.
I LOVE LUDA, AND I HAVE NEVER SUBSCRIBED TO EBONY SO THANK GOD, NOW I DONT HAVE TO REGRET IT.

Why all the comments drama about Usher? He is a grown ass man who is looking for “love” and not necessary “love with a pretty bimbo. We are the most hypocritical bunch, are we not? We always make comments about choosing someone for the personality, character and how they treat us, yet all these negative comments about how his girl Tameka looks. Have you notice on most of his photos, he looks happy? Damn, everybody ain’t model material, some of us ain’t model material. We really don’t know how things went down for Usher and Tameka, yet, we are making comments like we know and live with them.

As for his mother, some women has “hanging on their own sons penis issues. They can’t seem to let their “precious sons” go, period. It’s in every family. Some women cause more trouble then a little, they act like they are suppose to be the only women their sons are suppose to adore. I have a couple of those women in my family, I know what I’m talking about. I’ve also noticed, those women are either single, divorced and really need to get a life of their own. Usher has done good with her help, and she needs to let him go and make his own mistakes or whatever. I’m so sick of these types of Mothers. Let your children breath!! No one perfect! Shit!

As for Tameka being a couple years older then him, so what! Some men as well as women need someone older then them. As for her being legally married, so this is so normal today what makes her so special. A lot of women are dating men who are legally married, yet not really with their wives. Who said she cheated on her husband? They may have been separated a long time ago.

I think Usher’s Mom need to stop worrying about Usher’s money, and maybe Tameka’s age and they should try to work things out. Some women hurt their sons more then they help them. If she doesn’t like Tameka, she should not cause drama, but kill her with kindness.

Actually, I’m not there but we have to look at this thing in more then one way. All the talk about how ugly, bad and all that against Tameka is not fair.

#57 and why does he need nose reduction surgery?

Why do most blacks curse God like that? Are you saying when God made us with nappy heads, big noses, large lips he made a mistake?

Do you think you are inferior to white/fair skin, small nose people?

Did God say in any Holy text that “White was the superior race???? No the hell he didn’t.

Slavery is not dead, it’s alive and kicking. Mentally slavery that is.

You think you know better then your own CREATOR???? You think you would’ve done better to make creation?? Think about that black folks. Stop cursing the CREATOR, because every time you say negative ass shit like that, that’s exactly who you are cursing.

Self hate is a dangerous thing.

usher wll do anything including holding a tranny-looking eddie muphy trick reject to make YOU STILL THINK HE MIGHT BE STRAIGHT EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT YOU FUDGE PACKING WITH THAT NARROW ASS

i hate to say this i dont care for justin timberlake but he has conquered what usher thought he had and now it will be bullsh— ‘this is what happened inmy life’ sh–

squid nosed closet case

whew

1. Boris - Loves to see a man with his children.
“Just Beautiful”

2. The Tameka/Usher Story - “So Overrated”!!!

3. I loves me some Janet, but the whole “following your man to a NEW record company” move, not so great! What if they break up????

4. Omarion/Bow Wow - they already beefing??? Looks like it may be another R.Kelley/Jay-z lawsuit all over again! Wow!

65 get your nose out of your african american history books and quit trying to relate on closeted singer to racism.

that nose is a schnoggin

I can’t wait to see this Ebony. Good choice in Boris as the cover Dad instead of Luda. No offense but Luda is not even married to his child’s mother, Boris and Nicole are a traditional family and should be featured.

Does anyone else find it interesting that the person chosen to be the posterboy for the “New Black Father” is really half Ghanaian and half white, wasn’t raised in America and didn’t come to the states till college?

I mean I’m sure he’s a great dad, but is he really the representation of “the new Black father”? Just a thought.

Meant to add this…don’t you think Rev. Run is a better rep of the “New Black Father”

I have completely lost respect for Usher. I am shocked at #64’s comments justifying the immoral acts of Usher and Tameka. Usher: Honor thy mother. Tameka (manly looking ass) though shalt not commit adultery. Hello!!! Wake up people. This relationship is just wrong. Tameka needs to take her “knockin’ on 40, married, umpteen kids having ass on!” Usher needs to wake up and and realize blood is thicker than water. This trans…I mean trick was cheating on her hubby for you, what makes you think she won’t take all your cash, and once she is through with you, spend it on some other man and her kids? Why does he want that washed up bitch anyway. That hemaphrodite must have a golden pu—/di–! LOL!!! Both of them need to wake up and get some sense.

*vomiting from disgust* smh

Ok, I see CL changed the pic of Usher and Tameka from the one they initially posted. She STILL looks manly! LOL!!

#68…you have proved my point exactly. Self-hater!!! God curser!!! It’s a shame

I wish Chris was on the cover or even in the book, Boris should have removed the crust off his lips before the shoot. Love the features though.

20 Y.O. was the last album she owed Virgin Records..So she’s a free agent right now
I’m sure JD can command a mega deal for her.. let’s not forget she had the biggest deal in the biz 85 million for 6 albums.. Mariah topped her when she signed but when Glitter flopped the bought her out, thus leaving Janet with the biggest contract yet again…I just hope she return to her roots… no outside influences.. just Janet, Jimmy and Terry (lock JD’s little ass in the hallway)

Umm, who the hell is Boris Kodjoe?

Janet… damn girl! er’ regular nigga had a chance with you since you all in love with Jermaine the midget Dupree!

Bow wow and Omarion… whatever… who gives a shit..

Usher that tranny better be giving some blazing head! Since you dumped mama for her… Here’s a hint for ya young bruh… pussy comes and goes…

“Woode pours another shot of Courvosier on the rocks..lights his cigar… tells homegirl to drop them draws”

It’s a wonderful wonderful life, wonderful life.

Tameka should write a book or make an instructional DVD. She is gonna take every dime that his momma helped him make.

@atreyou lmao i know. i didn’t want to say anything b/c everyone was being so nice to the kids but they look like the mom and no offense to her or boris, but i think she’s ugly. i won’t call the kids ugly b/c that’s just plain wrong but i don’t find them to be cute at all. it’s beautiful that they are happy though. good for them.

@everything else umm yea don’t care

I smell PUBLICITY STUNT.

…I guess Chris said no…

Well of course Bow Wow and Omarion would team up together to make an album, because both of their albums aren’t sellin or doing good on the charts. Maybe if they get all of what left of their fans together than they will sell. Last I seen BW album was #146 on the charts.

Well If Usher Think He Doing Something Then More Power To Him Let Him Mess Up His Own Self He Wrong Getting Rid Of His Mama She Has Been There 4 Everything And This Is Wat He Does To Her

Janet’s contract with Virgin Records is up (5 albums, which were “janet.”, “the velvet rope”, “all for you”, “damita jo” and “20 YO”) so that is why she is moving to a new record label. Stop with the conspiracy theories and retirement. Frieda, you need to stop thinking you have the right to tell people what to do with their lives, lmao. Shiiett, I’d be damn if some blogger sitting at home typing about what I need to do with my #8 wealthiest woman in Hollywood self. Dang!

@ #70 - So what?!!!

>>>>>>>> Don’t take what I said literally it just means that he is a good man. And my fiance is a perfect man as in he’s a good guy, I love his qualities AND flaws and wouldn’t change a thing if I could. See, he is not “perfect” literally but just eems to represent “my” definition of a perfect man. Boris kinda gives me the same vibe as my babe, I’ve already seen him in person more than once, he’s a great a respectful guy (Nicole is a wonderful person too).

Boris is a wonderful father and husband. Congratulations to him for the cover. He looks good with his daughter and son. I want to see more fathers being responsble like that.

I got this copy of Ebony in the mail the other day. Boris is so sexy and his babies are cute!
Tameka….NEXT
Janet switching labels? At this point I think it does not matter, she still will not sell.
Oh good Lawd. Omarion and Bow? 5-12 year olds are gonna love that! My 9 year old son will be happy for that music on his Ipod.

omdz omarion and bow wow are so choong and so is t.i buh his wife is butterzzzzzz

why do we as black people do our legends like this.we are the only race that when we have someone as legendary as janet jackson get to a certain age folks start saying maybe its time to bow out “gracefully” just because she had one or albums that didn’t sell millions of copies but this woman has had 15 number one singles and call on me pushed her in front of r.kelly as the most weeks at number 1 on the r & b charts….whatever, we can talk about beyonce,ciara and all these other ones out right now and say its all about them but at the end of the day miss jackson has been where they have yet to go.

and as for usher all i got to say bruh why did you allow yourself to get hooked up with a woman who was married with kids that was a huge red flag right there so don’t be surprised when it doesn’t work out, god shows us everytime, its us who ignores the signs

I think it’s time 4 Omarion to retire those damn braids!

YEAH I GOT THIS ISSUE OF EBONY, AND THEY GOT SOME INTERESTING ARTICLES IN IT. AS FAR AS USHER’S MOM, YES I BELIEVE ALL THE HYPE! I JUST SAW B.E.T’S MOTHERS DAY SPECIAL YESTERDAY AND SHE SEEMED VERY POSSESIVE OF USHER. HE EVEN SAID SHE STILL TRIES TO TELL HIM WHAT TO DO AND HE HAS 2 REMIND HER THAT HE IS NOT 12 ANYMORE! WOW@ DAT RESTRAINING ORDER THOUGH. AND JANET AND J D WHO?

hey bowwow i’m your number one fane i love you so much that i just want to leek you up and down right now i know how to get you on hard right now baby

Boris……..Congrats

Janet…….Honestly I could careless

B & O…….Weren’t yall just beefing. & Bow Wow said they werent “never” friends?

Usher……..You know you wrong for firing your mother. I understand that your damn near 30 and whatnot but your mother help make your career. This lady is a GOLDDIGGER. Baby she CHEATED on her hubby for YOU! What makes you think that she’s going to be faithful to YOU? You got money and not listening to your mom is going to make you have none and lose all your fanbase for a piece of pussy. Then when she leaves you for another guy what are you going to do? Your mom TRIED to warn you. You’ll really be messed up if she has a child by you.

I think he’s getting his bad karma back for how he treated Chilli or any of his past girlfriends that he did wrong.

Janet is a WORLD reknowned superstart & as for her last 2 albums I actually LIKED them but her promotion STUNK & there was all this supposed backlash for the wardrobe malfunction that she didn’t even deserve.

Usher & Tameka, Usher sweetie we LOVE you walk away from the dark man-Come back to the light. You don’t even have to rehire your Mama if you don’t want to but sweetie let this golddigging freeloading heffer GO ok. I know she has some kind of hold on you & your friends probably need to to an intervention at this point. BUT get some help so you can let that Monkey go. Anytime someone has that much control over your life, there is truly something wrong & the person being controlled needs outside intervention.

Does anyone else find it interesting that the person chosen to be the posterboy for the “New Black Father” is really half Ghanaian and half white, wasn’t raised in America and didn’t come to the states till college?

I mean I’m sure he’s a great dad, but is he really the representation of “the new Black father”? Just a thought.”

OK let me clear a few things up for you 1, Boris is not half white he is half German (Having lived in Germany for several years I can personally attest that they are NOT like the white people that you grow up with here in the US & NO they are not the crazed Nazis that people try to make them out to be in the media either) 2, & WTH does the the fact that he is HALF of anything have to do with the fact that at the end of the day Anglo-Saxon whites see him as Black just like you & Me? And 3, With so many brother chosing NOT to be married to their childrens Mother’s (& yes ladies men CHOOSE us make no mistake about it) there are NOT a whole lot of positive true FAMILY UNIT images out there in our community of which to portray but because Boris is half of something but whole in everything else he MUST be excluded? The majority of us are NOT of pure African blood here in the US so that means according to your train of thought that at least 70% of the Fathers who are in same situations have to be excluded as well.. um…ok…well good luck with that!! SMH

Tameka must have some bomb stretched out coochie to have Usher acting like this. I’m amazed that a business man such as himself will put his career into the hands of a rookie. Tameka is a stylist and she cant even get that right for herself. His mom was the cream of the crop as far as managers go.

What does Boris being mixed to have anything to do with anything?

In US…..If your mixed with black EVERYBODY sees you as BLACK.

Its true! My grandmas and great aunts say so…..

I got a sneaky suspicion that this is some publicity shit with Usher, haven’t you noticed that there’s always some type of drama with him before his CD drops? I still say he’s an undercover brother - too much conframa in his life.

I’m 100!

i thought janet’s last album was hot..i bumped it for a minute…
switchin labels is kool i guess..just dont let jd run shyt no more..lol

Don’t nobody need to “warn” Usher about what that woman is, he’s not a kid anymore he knows that if she ain’t filed for divorce before messing with him, she did her husband dirty. If that was Mya messing with a married man with 3 children, how many of y’all would “warn” her and feel sorry for her? Usher knows what he’s doing, just like Britney Spears knew what she was doing. At this point I don’t give a damn what Usher or Tameka will reap. They all know exactly what they’re doing.

Chilli, babygirl, I know you’re wondering what you saw in that idiot. I know you’re wondering what you were thinking. SMH!

Awwwwwwwwwwww, look at Boris with hiz little cuties, how nice, can’t wait to buy issue.

I think that Ebony made a good decision in dropping Luda. Vibe maybe, Ebony no.

Janet it’s not gonna resuscitate your career, that died a lonnnnnng time ago. Go ahead and have that baby and retire gracefully.

Usher I’m tired of hearing about this drama with Tameka and your mama. Just put out a quality album and I’m good. Everyone’s quick to take Jonetta’s side but we don’t really know what kind of manager she was behind the scenes.

There is nothing wrong with a man falling in love with and marrying a woman who has children that aren’t his. It happens everyday, and I have to give props to those men who will take on the responsibility of raising another man’s child.

Good morning CL! It’s Friiiiiday!

If Usher mom has to take a restraining order out on his son’s girlfriends, why is it that her son is still dating her? WTF? Usually a restraining order means that a person feels they are not safe because of something someone has said or done. He may need to kick ole girl/man whatever she is to the mofo curve.

I wish Omarion and Bow Wow much success on this album. This is something that I will probably wanna cop. I just love his hit Outta My System. That’s one of my answering tones on my cell phone.

Boris…*in Florida Evans voice* DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!!

#61…so true…I predict drama…Usher and Bow Wow…
Love Boris

Uh, thank you poster # 4. I love the Ebony cover and glad Boris and his children are on the cover.

Usher’s mom shouldn’t worry, it won’t last. What kind of woman leaves her kids for a man? She is clearly not right in the head!!

Funny how all this stuff with Usher happens right before his album is about to drop….

Woode29- I don’t know if anyone answered you yet. Boris played on the soul food TV show. He played Damon, Teri’s love interest. He is also married to Nicole Ari Parker. He also played in The Gospel.

They got some weird shaped heads..

So the only thing perfect he did was marry his baby mom, but they had a child before they were married and that makes it right?Seems like a double standard to me right now.Mr. Chris may not be married to anybody, but how do we not know if the mother of his child is not married to someone else?We don’t know that to determine if he is a great father and not by his “past” lyrics.Boris could of just married Nicole because simply he was having her baby.

But I understand.

Tameka Foster is ugly as hell; she is not cute by any standards. Usher is a arogrant homo who likes to pretend that he really like females. So I guess that’s why he picked someone who could be mistaken for a transsexual. This relationship is not going to last any time, trust me. And what’s going on is usher getting fat or something? Yeah that brothers is losing it. Call me a hater if you want… Oh yeah and Mr.Raymond in the event you happent to come across this posting, if you ever disrespect my uncle again my foot is going to be up in dat ass, no lie. Meet me at JUSTIN’S ( Does that ring a bell?) Holla Back

It is what it is and it aint what its not,
VIPATLSTYLE

Bein married to your childs mother doesn’t make u a good father.
Anyway, Boris is cute but I would have wanted to see someone else on the cover.

Janet…last album I bought was janet. Just not feelin her or lil Dupri anymore.

Ush…all the “manly” wifey comments…the shyt is soooooo fuckin old. Same shyt every damn post. Please!

Omarion…never liked his lil ass, sorry.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANET (MAY 16), DO YOUR THING MOMMA, ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE HATING NEED TO GET A LIFE, IF ISLAND IS GOING TO TREAT YOU RIGHT THEN DO U.

BORIS AND NICOLE– GOTTA LOVE BLACK LOVE

TEENIE BOBBERS, WGAS—I AM GROWN AND SEXY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME (MAY 14th)

USHER IS GAY SO IF HE WANTS TO MARRY A MAN, OH, SHE IS A WOMAN, SORRY, AND THROW HIS MOMMA UNDER A BUS THAT IS ON HIM, STUPID!!!! YOU CANNOT MARRY A WOMAN WHO YOUR MOM DOESN’T LOVE AND RESPECT IT NEVER WORKS, CAN WE SAY BRITTANY BLACK STYLE, MOMMA SAID NO BUT SHE WENT FOR THAT HOE AND NOW SHE IS LOSING DOE, TAKE HEED USH! AND JUST COME OUT, IT IS THE YEAR OF THE GAYS ANYWAY!

@73, Although I think Boris Kodjoe is a great guy, it is kind of strange that they would label him as a “BLACK” father, hmmm…did they not catch that.

Boris on the cover-great Luda would of been just as great though.

Usher and Tameka- I stated on another post I felt that she didn’t have anything to do with Ursher firing his mom, but after hearing Jwan on the TJMS I may have to differ. Usher fired damn near everybody that has been in his corner for years–even his security! Whatever Usher.

Who gives a flying fu*k if Boris is mixed? One drop of black blood…..yall know the rest.

I think Usher is making a bad move at this point in time. Isn’t he coming out with an album soon? He doesn’t need this kind of bad publicity before his album hits. He could seriously loose a lot of fans over this. People take it to heart when somebody disses their mother over another woman. He might be whipped but according to other people Tameka is really a bitch and very difficult to work with. His ego is so big that he doesn’t think that this could hurt his career.

Hold on, can someone enlighten me? I didnt think Boris was black at all. If he does have some black in him its all good. If he doesnt I just think that it should have been titled differently for real. Can someone just please give me the real facts. I’m not hating, I really wanna know.

i don’t why u black americans are claiming boris as ”one of urrz” he is african.y’all always insulting foreign blacks, but y’all wanna take the ones that make ”your”people look good as a whole exp collin powell,boris, borack.

I don’t know if it’s been said but Usher’s mother said when she gives him advice it’s because it’s coming from the Lord. If she’s genuine he really should’ve listened because having to take a restraining order out is ridiculous! It’s bad when the 2 people you love the most can’t be around each other!Mother’s usually know best if they have your best interest at heart.

@119 are u seriously that ignorant so boris is not black cuz his not american. wow, ignorance among u people is out of control.white people will tell boris exactly how black he is ok.

Boris and those babies are darling!!!

Usher needs a whoopin’ (that OLD lady must have the BOMB stuff,she gonna ruin that man.

Janet is still gorgeous.

Bow Wow back in braids

Why such a dramatic move with the restraining order? So with her having a restraining order on her soon-to-be daughter-in-law, I guess she won’t be attending the wedding. Weird.

Ebony i ain’t feeling that decision i don’t have a problem with Boris but what’s Ludacris lyrics got to do with his daughter, it was about black fathers and he takes care of his daughter, so what’s the problem.

Some people may not like some of his lyrics and i’m a huge fan of his and i don’t take offense, come on ladies we all know at least one girl that we think is a nasty as ho, why can’t rappers sing about them women that’s what they are, you see these video hoes (i’m not saying all girls in videos are ho’s but you’ve seen the ones i’m talking about) andyway those ones just to get some of these celebrities and don’t business are they not hoes? hell yeah they are,

I personally think that Ebony is a dry ass magazine anyway, but if Luda was on the cover i would have bought it, did any of you see his diary where Karma (his daughter) was on it, that girl is cute and you can tell he’s all about his daughter andwould do anything for her, so yeah i think Ebony was wrong but whatever

@119 & 120

Boris is 1/2 Black & 1/2 German.

120-”i don’t why u black americans are claiming boris as ”one of urrz” he is african.y’all always insulting foreign blacks, but y’all wanna take the ones that make ”your”people look good as a whole exp collin powell,boris, borack.”

Thank you for stating my point. There is a difference in experience and culture between someone who is raised in an African culture and someone who is a product of the Black American culture. The man will tell you that he learned how to speak english from watching Video Soul. Not saying he didn’t have his own struggles and challenges, my point was that as a Black American I feel that “The New Black Father” should be someone who is a product of the Black American culture. Black is more than an appearance, it is a culture. If I were Nigerian I wouldn’t want Will Smith on a cover of a magazine that’s suppose to represent my people saying He was the posterboy for fatherhood.

There are plenty of great Black American Dad’s out here. Truth is its about selling, and Boris is attractive, and women fawn all over him, and Ebony knew it would sell mags. But alas, I’m sure someone will consider me racist or closeminded, but in reality I’m just honest.

What a cute front cover of Ebony! His sexy and his child is soo cute. perfect combo.

Boris Kodjoe is Black just like any other black man out thier so cut the bullshit.

And for the rest of them who cares.

Usher better get ready cause that gold digging broad is about to take him on a rollercoaster with no holds-bar! He’s gonna be wishing he never let go of momma. He had pretty much enjoyed a smooth sailing career so far. But he gotta get ready for things to get a lil bumpy!! Furthermore, I think the “what goes around, comes around” thing is pretty much gonna play out with Usher & her. Usher, get ready for the “ride” of your life! In the words of the Head Bitch In Charge, New York kudos!!

Boris is 1/2 Black & 1/2 German.

>>>>>>> Half a race and half a nationality? I think you meant haf black and half white cause there are black germans (german is a nationality) darker than Kelly Rowland. I always thought that mixed people should have the right to define themselves. Halle claims black so she’s black. Boris claims black, so in my book he’s black, it doesn’t matter where he’s from. He’s blacker than that damn Wesley Snipes anyway.

Someone needs to slap usher wit a reality check.. for realz..

I dnt realli like Usher nemore but i c dat that man i mean woman is goin 2 ruin him completely…

I feel sorri for his mum she needs to give a good saudi arabia ass whooping…

@131 thank you Chante.

Phillydon, please do make such general statement regarding how “American Blacks” view foreign blacks because I can assure you not all of us think the same as those who are ignorant.

Tameka looks old………

That old Tranny put something wicked on Usher and blew his mind. Boris has an adorable family.

this bothers me because i swear usher has some gay in him…and his current choice in a woman proves me right. I don’t like to talk about anyone but good googly moogly that boy is fruity

THANK YOU CHANTE AND MAIO FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION WITHOUT AN ATTITUDE.

AS FAR AS PHILLY GOES, LIKE I SAID I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST HIM, I WAS TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT RACE HE WAS SO GET IT TOGETHER BEFORE YOU START TALKING TRASH. YOU’RE THE IGNORANT ONE.

i want give an shout out to omarion because he is so fine and sexy and if i every see rhainna i’m going beat her azz and that’z what’z up shit play with it try me yo azz sharely well get yo azz beat and that’z what’z up.

It’s hard for me to believe that Usher is really with that girl, considering she is not the type we all ways seen him with.

Janet is a icon, but she should retire from recording causse her last couple of albums have sucked, and the stuff JD been producing lately has sucked.

Bow and O give me a break the original Best of Both World sucked, and that was with Jay and R kelly.

On Janet….

She stated that her ex-husband and her were more business partners than husband and wife right? I think that is where she is headed…down that road. The men in her life she likes to include in her music I have notice. Me being a major in music, I would recommend Jimmy and Terry to handle the production part of her career because they are true veterans….and I feel they know her best. In my opinion I feel they are over looked in music to a certain extent…they should be winning grammys and writing awards not Jermaine! If you look on Wikipedia..they produced a lot of songs for a lot of people…I have mad respect for those guys…Terry is 50 and still going strong! They are responsible for Janet’s career and are innerchangeable when it comes to sound..they are still producing today…

Is this Usher’s “way” of coming out of the closet? Too successful to be with a man but he gets the next best thing. How could someone with his sex appeal be with a woman that looks like that? I think this will affect his popularity. A whipped man is not sexy!!!!!

YOU KNOW WHAT!!!!!!! i think the usher thing is just a marketing trick to increase sales, it all makes sense now.. at least thats my opinion he did it in his last albums but this time its bigger momma gets fired plus marrying tameka :/ i wonder if this whole marrige thing will blow off after a few weeks of album release ..

why is ushers wife like 5 feet taller then him? she looks like a damn man…i would have a restraining orders against that he/she too..lmao

Most of you that do all that talking talking about Tameka ugly and look like a man y’all look just like her so it be wise not to say anything.

@64 I understand your statement and all that would make better sense if that was his decision on his own . You dont find it strange that all this came about once his he-she came into the picture if he wanted to do his own thing then why he wait till now?? Thats just too close for comfort a coincedence my ass that boy boy is WHIPPED and should be ashamed Blood is suppose to be thicker than mud!! A

Thats just too close for comfort a coincedence my ass that boy boy is WHIPPED and should be ashamed Blood is suppose to be thicker than mud!! But Karma is a bitch ! As for Janet I feel she should stick with Jimmy Jam and Terry their work together is classic but cant knock her for standing by her man and I mean come on folks we’re talking about Janet Jackson it aint like she’s going broke anytime soon so she’ll be fine with or without another album
And Bow and O do the damn thang alot of yall clown and call them corney but we must remember the young girls thru the ages of 8-18 alone will sell them out so they only hustling like they’re suppose to… good luck

boris-good look

usher- What the hell is wrong with usher? This ol ass lady better not be trying to ruin usher’s life. I thought it was just a business move him firing his mother and all(she’s done a good job props) but the publicist too. Tameka is up in his ear, she must have him under her spell, he has to be taking in her and her three kids. What a big ol mess.

Bow and O: Idk about this I mean I like both of them but a joint album? I wonder how thats gonna turn out.

J.D. and Janet: :crickets:

I was a big fan I mean big fan of Usher even tried out for his confession tour but i cant stand dude know he a gay man tryin to cover the fact he gay by getting a nice Transexual and show some pda so ppl can think he in love ….lol what a dl dude for ya……

Boris Cudjoe,i hav always been a fan of you continue with the good job, U r an inspiration to many.
