SPOTTED: USHER & TAMEKA IN BEV. HILLS + USHER ON THE SET w/ STEPSON
Thursday, March 20, 2008
Usher Raymond and his wife Tameka Foster-Raymond were spotted going into Bottega Veneta in Beverly Hills on Wednesday afternoon. He held his wife’s hand tightly as he made his way into the specialty boutique. Usher and Tameka recently became the parents of a baby boy late last year.
In related news, Usher’s new song “Love In This Club” is doing well on the charts and he even filmed a new video over the weekend. Peep more candid shots after the cut.
USHER ON THE SET OVER THE WEEKEND
Usher showed up to the set of his new video “Love In This Club” with his stepson, one of Tameka’s three sons from a previous relationship.
Tameka recently made this statement about her husband and his relationship with her three children:
Usher loves my children. My ex-husband and I have joint custody. It’s a wonderful arrangement that allows me time to do things with Usher one-on-one and to spend time with the kids. I’m not looking for a father for my kids because they have one. They just happen to be lucky enough to have two strong men in their lives.
Shout out THE E-BIZ for the set photos.

Most of the people posting how old Tameka is, or how ugly she look, or how many kids she has. How many of you are all that? You have no right to judge anyone by what they look like, and how many kids they have. You are suppose to be looking for iner beauty as well.
I would like to see a picture of y’all…and count how many children and baby daddies y’all got….

You are dead on…..!
I mean I never got the hate on this one. Who knows what will happen with them but his age, his celeb status and her looks and her kids have little to do with it. He’s always liked older women and I completely respect him for being with a chick he obviously connects with instead of someone he chose because they’d look sexy for the paparazzi. Isn’t a true, good relationship about connection and how the person makes you feel?
I wish them and everyone else truly in love the best. It’s not that easy to find or keep good love.
And what you see in public is not always indicative of a private relationship. That’s for sure….

How does he look unhappy? some of you are ridiculous.
It’s cute that he’s hanging out with his step son. I don’t blame them for not releasing baby pics. Most of you will probably just criticize the little boy and call him ugly anyway, no matter what he looks like.

Listen up people. It’s not so much tameka is ugly, it’s her disposition. She was up in arms against ayone and everyone as soon as Usher made her his woman. She started stuff with Chilli and Usher’s mother can’t even stand her. What does that tell u? I think alot of people see Usher and feel he can have his choice of any woman and in comparison, Tameka does not rank high on looks. You guys can say what you want to but at best she’s an average looking woman. Look at chilli? She was older than Usher too but her age was never an issue really because A. She didn’t look her age and B. She’s Gorgeous. I think her and Tameka have similar complexions honestly. Chilli has that long hair but she isn’t light skin or mix. Tameka is old,looks it, and very average looking. No star quality and she’ll just ride the reigns of Usher’s sucess…

Its apparent that many of you sistas come from broken homes, where men were devalued and father/mother relationship was not on the forefront.
Love is not based on looked whether you have a million dollars or $10. Love is based on something so much stronger which is why many of you don’t understand it, question it or just plain will never experience it. All you have is your sad comments and insults about this black family that shows exactly how far the black woman’s mindset and fallen into the gutter of foolishness.
So since you continue to insult this brotha and his family.. . God will continue to bless them. I am sure the Raymonds would love to thank all their haters in person for keeping the blessings flowing for them.
Black love is more powerful than your fruitless mind. Get some “real” black love of your own.

What the hell is a “real black woman look” we are all different in looks. That’s what makes us beautiful from looks of Beyonce all the way down to miss Ebony herself Alek Wek. We as black women can never unite because we too busy being color struck and thinking that one particular shade is the epitome of what a black woman. It’s not light and it’s not dark it’s all shades. My dark skin women and light skin and my in between women need to get it together! We are all beautiful! so stop it!
Anyways Tameka looks better than she did before so that’s great and good for usher he sound someone that he loves

@58 SKANKNESS aka Hotness
Do you even know the meaning of negative? both of the statements you and the other chick made where full of negative comments, just like the others that you disagree with. The only difference is that your negative comments were directed to them and theirs were directed at Ms Foster. You are taking this way to personal, so YOU must be the ugly one. Having flashbacks? They are not talking about you sweety. Get some help, maybe even some meds. smooches

I know it gets annoying to be a celebrity sometimes, especially with all the cameras in ur face all the time. It look like they just want to run out to the store and just be normal people…but they can’t because the paparazzi is snappin pixs as they parallel park the car…
I’m happy for their relationship though and I hope they last becuz there are enough broken homes and families giving up on each other.

@54 i didn’t say anything that was not the truth!
@ #73,
Give me a break. You’re the one that mentioned that she had dark skin NOT me; so you’re the one that needs to COME OFF IT! I love how you subconsciously let that out. i was speaking of people who are of mixed race not so far down in their genealogy, not those from several hundred years ago!
Tamika is a great representation of the everyday Black woman! I have been to many cities in the states with large Black populations, and if you walk down any street you will see many Black women that look like her. There is nothing wrong with the way she looks. Just because there are plenty of insecure women out there doesn’t make her any less attractive. He Obviously doesn’t want you! GET OVER IT!
It makes me so pissed off that there are so many women who are mad at seeing a Black man with a Black woman! Heck a Black woman with any man, misery loves company! Is he not suppose to be with a her because he’s successful? Is he not suppose to be a good father to his children (including the step sons)?
I’ll just sit around and laugh and wait for CL to post something on Kim K and Reggy and wait for the shit to hit the fan!

Did anybody on here say she was ugly because she is dark? Maybe I missed it. Maybe it’s because dark skin women feel that they are unattractive so they think that is the reason people say she is ugly. You know there are some ugly light skinned women, too. Why can’t it just be their opinion. Just like you have yours.

I@Sugar150……So true….The mainstream media has us thinking that “Black”
people are of mixed races , with lighter skin and caucausian textured hair. We
rarely see black people in the mainstream media who look like their dad is Eddie
levert and whose mom is Patty Labelle. I’m just so glad that Usher and P Diddy
were not scared to have a true black babies. I applaud them….

I didn’t read a single comment in this topic, aside from yours…the last one I saw when I refreshed the page… And I responded to it because it seemed so short-sighted… My initial comment was made blindly…I just KNEW someone was calling the woman names and ripping her head off because I HAVE read blogs about the woman in the past that were unbelievable…And, as it turns out, I was right… I was right to post that first comment under the assumption that there was a barrage of hateful comments about the woman. Again, this woman is believed to represent the average black woman… So, if hearing her called “ugly” and “maneka” does nothing to you, then that’s fine… It annoys me…

@100
@47 oh please come up off it! the only reason you probaly saying that she’s beatiful because she is darker skin(actually she really isn’t that dark)and most if not all of us black folks from the U.S are mix. and i don’t think she is the best candidate for showing how a black woman look like.
where do i accuse you saying anything about her being dark skin? I made my own assumption just like you assume i want usher. that’s your fantasy not mine i find it interesting that you go to all these major black cities and you see tameka’s i disagree black women for the majority do not look like her. the women in my family don’t look nothing like her. another thing is i don’t care if he marry a black woman. there you go again assuming. i think i doesn’t matter if she was white or black if she ugly she ugly. don’t try to make me feel wrong for having an opinion that goes against yours. anyways this getting old real quick.

Damn this just doesn’t make any sense I wish he would come out and tell the world that he married a man that adopted children so we don’t have to wonder anymore.
She has all the things that men run away from:
1. The fact that she is old as hell.
2. Has not one child BUT THREE.
3. She has a how do i put this nicely, a body that shows you “had” many children.
So wtf Usher, let us know wassup.
No hate involved.

I don’t understand what the big deal is, she isn’t sleeping in any of your beds….so who cares. Usher chose to marry her, obviously he sees something you guys don’t.
If he had married some pretty model type, everyone would be asking why he married some gold digging bimbo ………….
128.
Something ain't right
Thursday, March 20, 2008 /
I’m not hating but the reason I feel that the relationship is not right is because she shows bad character. I think I lot of people don’t like her, not because she is married to Usher, but because of the way she got with him. Cheating on your husband and leaving your kids behind for another man is not a good way to start off in a relationship. She is a pretty woman but her attitude and the way she carries herself is shitty.

#43 you preaching! I agree 100%. I am hoping that many posters on here just have a hard time with expressing their opinion about Tameka (truly hoping). I had to think twice before I made my first comment. I am glad I did b/c I truly expressed how I felt without insulting her. She probably looks better than the majority of females on here.
We’re just used to extremely long fake weaves, a lot of make-up and skin tight clothes. The celebs that look that way in public likely look just like Tameka in private, which is an attractive Black woman being herself.

@128: I totally agree with you. I think many folks here are not looking at the overall picture & dynamic of Usher & his wife’s relationship. It started on shaky ground to begin with. You #128 clearly described the situation. And, they were together during Usher’s relationship with Chilli & Eishia Brightwell. Usher does not look happy in those pics. He does not look like he’s at peace. It has nothing to do with Tameka’s complexion or the fact that she’s older black woman. It’s about her stink attitude with everyone especially the fans and her totally disrespect toward Usher’s mom during the wedding. The relationship will probably last 2-3 years tops.

It may be just me, but Tameka looks pretty in the first picture. I normally think she is a very plain and homely looking woman with no style,but in that picture she seems sort of pretty. Maybe its the glow of having a child. Or maybe she is glowing because she knows she has all of us jealous

i never thought of usher as a real man or any other male celebrities as real men who thought for themselves, because i thought they only did what makes their fans and labels happy. i see usher in a whole new light now. he made his own decisions. ive been around black people long enough to know that the majority of them would rather see usher with a mixed girl or model. i commend him not just for marrying a black woman, but for being a man and making his own decisions, because i know that hes having problems with people he know about marrying a black woman who dont look like halle berry or mariah carey, im just keepin it 100 witcha

@ #5, #72,
If a person–USher or non-celebrity who has no kids meets a person who has multiple kids, an ex-husband or ex-wife, doesnt mean the person with the kids/ ex-spose/baby daddy can’t find love again. My issue with you is with your comment about her having “all those kids”. If you feel like someone with kids can by all means fall in love then why is there a problem with Usher or a non-celebrity with no kids fall in love with Tameka? Answer nothing!
Yes, Tameka may not be as beautiful as Halle Berry, Chilli or Gabrielle Union, and yes, she may possibly be a mean controlling women or yes she may be someone who trapped Usher–but thats Ushers LIFE! It sounds like to me you are a lil’ salty he didn’t find and marry you. And thats real talk.
People who have “all those kids” have as much right to meet and fall in love with A Usher, Chris Brown, or whoever else who is so “young with no kids”. Your comment was very juvenile and honestly, it was ridiculous and in your respone to me, you were beyond contradictive. Thats my issue. Now you can respond if you want to but i’m done……..have a Blessed Easter weekend with you & yours.
