It has been announced that the release of Mary J. Blige’s forthcoming album ‘Growing Pains’ has been pushed back. The CD, which was originally supposed to drop on November 27th, will now hit stores on December 11th. Word is the album is still going to be released on November 27th.
Above is the supposed mock up of the new album cover, which I doubt is authentic because someone didn’t blend the background and photo together correctly in photoshop.
IS TAMEKA HOLDING USHER BACK?
According to Page Six she is. Check out the latest Ushmeka rumors:
“Usher only listens to Tameka now, and she wants all Usher’s focus to be on her and the baby.” The couple, who wed in August, are expecting later this year. Bailing on the album may not have been a wise decision on his part, however, especially because other money-making ventures – like the launch of his new fragrances – were scheduled to coincide with the new disc. “The album had been in the works for over a year,but he put it on the back burner when Tameka got pregnant . . . now it looks like it’s never going to happen.” [SOURCE]
DIDDY GETTING SUED AGAIN!
Diddy is being sued in a New York County Court for allegedly directing his bodyguards to attack a man — who claims he was just trying to introduce himself to the mogul. TMZ obtained this lawsuit, filed by NYC nightclub promoter James Waldon, in which Waldon claims he was jumped during a party at hotspot “The Box.”
Damn Diddy! It must suck to be famous sometimes, you can’t act a fool when you want to or someone will sue!
I am so tired of all these artist pushing their albums back.
Tameka look like a H.A.M in that pic.
I am really proud of Mary. She really did turn herself around.
Usher….Diddy……next!
Tameka u sho iz uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuglllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly!
thats a beautiful picture of mary
Cant wait for the new Mary album. That photo has potential to be a great cover. LOVE IT!
Usher: No one can hold you back, unless you let them. If the rumors are true, fault him; not her.
Diddy. BLEH, MEH. NEXT
Tomeka looks like a smoosh face monster. I hope that baby come out cute.
Talk about being p**sy whipped…this means you Usher.
I’m on the fence about Ursh and Meka. A lot of people hate because she’s not a Hollywood beauty and she has gotten into his head but at the same time this is his first baby. I could understand him wanting to sit back and not want to miss the im
portant things but she needs to realize the bills won’t get paid without him putting in work!
Is it just me or does Mary seem a bit insecure these days? Maybe she just wants to be sure to do the right thing for her career but I don’t think she should worry about B’s CD. I’m sure B will sell big but it’s a live CD, not studio with new music. I think they would both sell well but I know everyone wants to be #1.
As for Diddy…yawn!
Mary don’t look right on that picture and yeah, somebody did mess up on that Photoshop right there.
Who cares about Usher….he fell off in my opinion
Diddy just gets on my nerves
Mary J cover is beautiful! Usher I can respect the fact that he want to be home for the baby but don’t let Tameka run you.
Mary looks pretty, can’t stand Puffy punk ass, enough with Tameka and Usher UGH!!!
tameka alwayz lukz lyk a h.a.m
Because he wants to take time for his first Baby dont mean shes in control .
Mary look like a woman whos been throw and had the last laugh in that pic.
and im like the rest of you about Diddy ……………NEXT SMH
So MJB’s album is coming out the same day as Ashanti?
Usher wanted a mother thats why he married tameka he’s done
Diddy is a mess
Can’t wait for Mary’s album! Once they do what they do with the cover, it should look MUCH better. Obviously Usher doesn’t mind being ran by Tameka. Hey, there are some men that like women that are in control. So be it!
i fucking hate Diddy..I wish he would drop dead..but i don’t wish death on anyone ….his arrogant, whoring ass…….Why won’t someone just assassinate him or pop a cap in his ass and get it over with…how many bodyguards does the man have….it can’t be that impossible to kill him??? Or is it????
Press Play was wack…Cassie is wack..Making the Band is wack…he is just wack!!! How is this man still making money? LOL
I think all these albums are getting pushed back because they use these orchestrated “leaks” of their material to trying to figure out if people are feeling their music. I’m sure all these artists have people reading the blogs and chats to see how us folk are responding. When they figure out their music ain’t hitting on nothing with us, the Chris Brown’s, Usher’s and MJB’s know they need to try to come harder.
Usher is holding Usher back, he’s a grown a&! man. I personally think he married Tameka because she’s okay with his alternative lifestyle… His spot has already been filled with J. Holiday, Trey Songz – those are the R&B cats that the 18-25 year olds are feeling – Ush is married with a kid on the way. He needs to do something else – change his sound to go after an older audience prolly.
That rumor about Usher seems fake. Its obvious that his album is simply unfinished. A couple tracks leaked already and they were only album filler type tracks. His album will probably be out next spring or summer.
That picture of Mary is not a good luck. Her features do not look good from the side. IMO
THAT IS NOT MARY ON THE COVER
If this Usher bit is indeed true…USHMEKA should be SLAPPED…I’ve been awaiting this album for too long for this old hag/tranny to stop the show.
Diddy…quit tryna F’ everyone up that attempts to meet you it’s not a good look babes~
On a lighter note…I can’t wait to hear Mary’s album!!!
I like MJ’s cover. I’m sure when they put the finishing touches on it, it will be the bomb. Too bad the album got pushed back. But that’s ok, I am patiently waiting. TEAM MARY!!!
Who cares about Usher CD? I know I don’t. He lost one with all this foolishness he has been doing lately. Attacking radio hosts, blogs on the internet, the fact that his mother had to get a restraining order on Manmeka. Like my mother-in-law would always say, he makes my a$$ burn! LOL! I’m more threw with Usher than a maxi-pad on a heavy cycle day.
Diddy, like your man say “Mo money, Mo problems”.
4 real..how can anyone holdu back unless u r undr the age of 18? Please…so bogus…
Diddy..the lawsuits r getti tired!
Dang Mary!
Somebody said something about Beyonce dropping on the day Mary was supposed to, November 27th. I know damn well Bey not about to drop another album!! She needs to give it a break, damn!
As long as MJB comes out, Im good….
Usher doll face don’t let this chick (sorry your wife) ruin your career. It is bad enough you already know that you lost some fans. Get back in the studio and make that cd happen..
Diddy… I don’t believe the groupie……most of the times everyone in the club is sipping on champagne on Diddy’s dime………
The only reason they pushed Mary’s back is because they knew that she couldn’t compete with Mariah, so they put her out on the same day as Ashanti so she comes out looking better.
Damn #16, I would feel sorry for Diddy if you know him personally…You would put a hurting on him…..
I like the new Mary cover. Its kind of Diana Ross-esque. Glad there pushin the album back I’ve been spending too much $ on CD’s! LOL But no, can’t wait til it comes out.
Usher-who knows what to believe on that note. We’re not there and these “sources” who are they? I’m like whatever, don’t drop any material until you know its going to be HOT! And maybe right now his focus does need to be on his new wife and baby. I’m not mad at him, got to have priorities!
Diddy-who cares!
I can understand Usher wanting to be with his wife and welcome his new baby when he arrives, however, time is money and money is time. Eventually you will have to put the album out. I just don’t think it’s a smart move for your wife to tell you how to run things. I thought the man wore the pants and the wife and husband made decisions together. Not one partner making all of the rules and the other just sits back and say, “Whatever you say baby, whateva you say goes.” That’s bull.
As for Diddy, you need to get it together. I guess all those years of dicking your artists have finally come to bite you in the ass.
As for Mary, she’ll do well regardless of whether Beyonce drops her album the same day or not. She’s a great inspirational artist who has come a long way and now that she’s off of that stuff and is married to Kendu, her voice is even more powerful and way stronger. Girlfriend can saannnnnggg!
Alicia Keys, one word – fierce! You go girl!
No the reason they pushed Mary’s album back is because it was just announced that Beyonce will be dropping her album on November 27th.
I’M LOOKING FOWARD TO MARY ALBUM…SHE BRINGS NOTHING BUT THE BEST.
WITH THE RATE DIDDY GOING…HE WILL BE BROKE BY THE END OF NEXT YEAR LOL.
USHER AND TAMEKA NEED TO LET IT GO…I’M SICK OF HEARING THEM.
That pic of MJB is from her photoshoot in Elle Magazine form september or so
Why is Mary afraid to go against Beyonce?
NOTE TO EVERYONE:
Forthcoming DOES NOT mean 4TH album…thank you
# 30, its a lie. Thats a rumor started by MTO. B is not droping no live album
@ #33 Aisha, PLEASE!!! Mary is a dayum VET! That must have been a joke.
Just fine has not been doing well. So i guess they are moving back to come up with a new single.
Damn, everyone’s album is getting pushed back.
Ok MS BMORE, you might have went a little too far with the death threats…. Are you okay?????????????? Diddy does get on people’s nerves but what has he done to you personally for you to want him dead??????? I’m confused……
YAWN TO ALL 3 OF THESE STORIES…
That rumor about Mary J and Beyonce is not true, but if it were, WTF, why would Mary ever be afraid to go against Beyonce? She puts out loud trash that stinks, and only teenagers with a half developed minds find it appealing…oh yeah, and adults who never fully grew up in the mind…Please, Mary got that all day long if Beyonce wanted to pull some bullshit like that…she would get that ass beat righteously…she needs to sit down, trying to peddle that same cd from a year ago. And let’s not talk about that much anticipated, but flopped like hot shit spanish version cd! Please…
I hope somebody beat the hell outta diddy, but don’t kill him, cause he needs to learn a lesson. He always beating up on white people, and women….hoe, i hope he get’s stumped good to put him in his place.
No comment on them two escaped zoo creatures….not even relevant right now.
I can’ t wait for the following cd’s:
Mary J.
Mariah’s
Janet’s
Angie Stone
Maxwell
R. Kelly
Maybe I’m mistaken but isn’t Ashanti album due out on the same day? I like Ashanti and all but I honestly think she should push her album back now because Mary J. is the Ish.
Love both ladies but damn I don’t want Ashanti to be embarassed.
Usher will learn the hard way. I’m just waiting.
As for Diddy….I’m just tired of him and his drama
Usher, you are a fool-if these statements are true.
So Diddy? How does it feel to be the most hated bruh? cause i sure as hell can’t stand you
that is not a good picture of MJB.
good luck Ush and Meka, marriage is not easy!!!
Diddy needs to stop.
Mary looks so pretty. I’m not buying any Beyawnse’s album so mary if that was the reason you need to stop. Beyawnse need to fall back for atleast 9months. Tired of seeing her all over. She obviously never heard the phrase “overexposed”. An album, a double disc cd, a videooligy or whatevery the f**uck that was. Please.
Usher and Maneka! Who gives! Next. When is chilli album coming again? Lmmfao.
I think Usher is doing the right thing by not releasing the album now…Too much is going on right now with his personal life where, i feel, it will definetly hurt his sales if he releases it…Kinda makes me think of the Justin and Janet Superbowl thing…After it all happened alot of people, specific black ppl kinda turned against Justin…Now that time has passed, everyone pretty much forgot about it….
FOR ONE BEYONCE IS NOT RELEASING A ALBUM AND IF SHE WAS EVEN WITH ALL THE HATE SHE GETS WE ALL KNOW BEYONCE WOULD WIN DAT BALTTLE BUT ITS NOT A BALLTE SO LETS MOVE ON ….OK
Usher need 2 sit down!!! I dont really like him anymore….He sux!!! Im not gonna waste my mney on His Cd i dont care how good it is…I stop being fan since he hooked up with dat she/he Man-e-ka… Usher need 2 go F*** himself!!!!….NEXT!!!
Since everybody’s album has been pushed back – why not just wait until it’s on the shelves and announce that date?
Any and everybody can sue – and since the AI case where they held him finacially accountable for what his bodyguards allegedly did… everybody with some $$$$ is a target now.
Usher better get his head back into his business – I know he’s not broke nor anywhere near, but he has a family now, and seems his wife enjoys the good life, so he needs to be banking as much as he can. I guess it could be that music is no longer his priority business – but his business moves have been suspect since his Mom stop managing him.
Ima fan of Mary J n all but I can care less about her album gettin pushed back
Usher n Tameka I’m so sicka of them two. I mean n a way I can’t blame the manish lookin troll for wantin Usher to focus on her n the baby but at the same time he has to provide for them so let him work n do da damn thing
Man I’m tellin you Diddy is gon be one broke motha fucka after he pays for all the court bullshit wit these ppl suing him left the right n not to mention his 3 baby mamas. No Black Enterprise this year nigga!!!!!
The Mary cover is cool, but is all the damn weave cacading down her back really necc.?? Diddy (no Comment!). Tameka aint holding shit back! Usher is holding his own damn self back, he already new what the outcome of this new relationship would mean to his “stans”!
Mary is my girl I will go and get the album whenever it comes out!
As for Usher I am really happy he is married, but I just don’t know about the relationship. Something just does not seem “real” about the whole thing and I can not put my finger on it. But, what goes on in the dark, will come to the light sooner or later!
As for Diddy I think he likes being in the media even if its negative or positive info. He stated on Tyra he really does not have any friends in the business so I think he just craves attention from the world!
@48 What? Mary just sold 700,000 copies in the first off her BREAKTHROUGH album. Beyonce sold I think 500,000 copies off her last album. There is no competition, I agree. Mary is a legend, respected for songs with substance. Beyonce has yet to do that. If you’re a fan of booty shaking then it’s ok…that’s you. But don’t disrespect Mary with that “Oh Beyonce would win anyway”, get educated. Beyonce’s gimmick might be at end anyway, cuz you got Mariah, Whitney, Janet and Mary coming out in 07-08. SMH…No we won’t be thinking about her that much from my point of view.
I love MJB and I cna’t wiat til her joint drops!
Two thumbs down for Ush & UgMoe!
And boooooo Diddy!
How come the people that work with Diddy never make it beyond like say a couple of singles and a video, if that????? But he got all this money and “talent”. And how come people keep signing with him knowing they career might not go anywhere???
HOW DID BEYONCE GET INTO THIS, MY GOSH. MARY J. BEEN IN THE MUSIC GAME SINCE BEYONCE WAS PLAYING WITH DOLLS. I AM GOING TO SAY THIS ALSO, JUST BECAUSE YOU FAVOR MARY J. OVER BEYONCE DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU SHOULD DISS BEYONCE. THESE LADIES ARE BOTH TALENTED PEOPLE WHO WILL BE IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME.
Ladies,
If you want your man to hate and/or resent you, tell him that he can’t do that which he loves and enjoys.
If Tameka is telling Usher to NOT make music, and to only focus on HER and the baby,
how do you think he feels…
How would YOU feel if someone told you “Don’t go to work, just think about ME”
Trapped..
Now you know why so many people dislike Tameka.
She’s VERY controlling…..
I do nt like Mary’s album cover. She looks a mix between New York and Beyonce…Nuyonce’. Me no likey
Usher is so focused on her because she probably has a high risk pregnancy because of her age and he want the baby to be fine and she is seriously taking advantage of that. If he is gone for a minute away Im sure she is ringing that phone like hell.
I don’t care for that pic of Mary at all. I’ve never liked her side profile and that blond wig is too much.
After seeing that video of The Usher/ Tameka photo shoot for Essence, I can no longer defend Tameka. She really seems to be the bitch many have made her out to be.
