Is Baby Nayvid Usher's son?

The divorce between Usher Raymond and Tameka Foster had taken a nasty turn for the worse. Usher is reportedly calling into question his paternity of baby Nayvid. Nayvid is the second child he and Tameka have had together.
Supposedly, he and Tameka weren’t being intimate around the time Nayvid was conceived.
A source tells the National Enquirer, “The first thing Usher said was, ‘How did this happen?’ – because he was gone a lot, and their sex life was very, very limited.
“People have been telling him that around the time the little boy was conceived, Tameka got together with another man.”
The insider adds, “She says that although they weren’t spending much time together, they did get together for one night of passion. And that’s when she got pregnant.” Source
I wonder if he finds out the baby isn’t his he’ll do a dance like the dudes on Maury Povich.

Tameka and Ursher were Still Gettin it in When he Filed

Tameka says that she and Usher did the nasty just a week before he filed for a divorce.
She says in a new filing hat he’s lying about being separated since July 2008 and that they were “intimately together” less than a week before he started divorce proceedings.
She had “every reason to believe her marriage was intact,” her attorney stated in documents filed Monday in Atlanta. Source
Tappin dat ass and being madly in love with you are not one in the same. You’re grown. You should know that by now.

Usher Talks About His Divorce

Usher has finally spoken out about his divorce to man-bride, Tameka Foster. He told Entertainment Weekly, “I’d hate for [people] to assume that. If there’s any turmoil, I think it’s managing all of it, but having an incredible team that helps me do that it makes it very easy, or easier than it would normally be attempting to do it myself.” Adding, “What I do is, I try to get [my work] done and get home on the weekends if possible … but when I’m with my boys it’s just all about them.”
Sources have also said that the marriage has always been doomed. “They peaked before they even got married. Right after it was over, they started to drift apart. [Usher] just wasn’t ready to settle down, at least not with her”. Apparently, Tameka was “alienating and controlling, and he was unhappy”.

That’s unfortunate that they’ve been separated longer than they’ve been married. Too bad, so sad.

Tameka Had a Private Eye Following Usher

Usher and Tameka have been separated for almost a year according to court documents but apparently he found out she hired a private investigator to follow him. He is now asking that everything the investigator compiled be turned over including tax files, paycheck stubs, bank account information and other financial records, insurance policies, real-estate rental agreements, medical records and automobile registrations.He also wants 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.Lastly he asks that copies of “any and all diaries or personal notes kept…during the course of the marriage,” be turned over as well.Source
He is trying to make sure that no nasty little tidbits leak out. Nervous Usher?

Usher Files for Divorce

Usher Raymond and wife Tameka Foster-Raymond have been married less than two years, have two children and are apparently calling it quits. Usher’s been seen recently with some mystery woman and hasn’t been seen publically with his wife in months.
"Usher's primary concern is for his children," a source said. "He is a great father and just wants to do what is right for them." Source
I think that plastic surgery she had and didn’t tell him about that almost killed her was the last straw. Since then I haven’t seen them together at all and Usher hasn’t been too keen on wearing his wedding ring.

Man-Reka Fights with Blogger on Twitter

Usher was recently pictured with an unnamed woman and has been seen not wearing his wedding ring. In addition he hasn’t been seen withhsi wife Tameka Foster since this past fall? Are things arry? Well recently there was a twitter convo between Tameka and a blogger about this woman he was pictured with and it went a little something like this:
“Blogger”@tamekaraymond Your friends have been dropping hints about U and Usher all along. Umm, why isn’t your husband following you on Twitter?
TamekaRaymondRT @nanwatsie: @TamekaRaymond u always sound in a good mood (I’m NOT! but I don’t stay mad at ANYthing for long life is TOO short)
TamekaRaymond: Ok..taking a nap. So I’ve been told. Lol~ twit soon ;0)
“Blogger”@tamekaraymond So what if that girl is a product manager? Weren’t you Usher’s stylist? And weren’t u a married woman at the time?
TamekaRaymond@”Blogger” youre a angry woman I dont know y or who hurt u, but it wasnt me. I will pray for you. Im happy & life is GOOD for me! Enjoy urs
TamekaRaymond: now that my nap has been put on delay..let me DELETE so that im not sending my good followers over to Follow foolery ;~) its easy 2 do trust
“Blogger”@TamekaRaymond So they have a Justin’s in Santa Monica now? Who knew?
“Blogger”@TamekaRaymond Why would your husband fly Justin’s product manager to the west coast as opposed to you, his wife?
TamekaRaymond: this ish is like feeding a kid candy…… we love drama…no maaam not on my dime!
“Blogger”@TamekaRaymond Silly me for not listening to YOUR friends, lol. They TRIED to tell me the truth, but u know how hard headed I am.
“Blogger”@TamekaRaymond Checking to see if there’s a rule that says a product manager can’t creep with a married man while his wife sits on Twitter
TamekaRaymond: she is ugly, mad cuz she has NO man, cant find a good woman, sh**s all bad!!! I’d be salty nuts too…yall sing Kum ba Ya.. for her..lol
TamekaRaymondRT @shea10149 Brush @”Blogger” off. She’s mad cuz she old, ugly, and looks like a burnt cigarette. We go elsewhere for our gossip anyway. Source
When will silly women learn to ignore this type of ish? If you are confident in your man’s love for you then instead of going back and forth with haters you’ll say something like “Be blessed” and keep it movin. I did, and ain’t heard from that simple girl since.

Update 47-51: Chris Brown Arrested

Update 47: Chris and Rih are working on a duet which may appear on his new album.
A source told E! News, “They’ve been working on it together.” Rihanna’s producer, Adonis Shropshire, recently confirmed the 21-year-old star was back in the studio. “You have to remember, she’s a kid still,” he said. “So with anybody who goes through something in the world, you have to bring yourself out of it so I guess her refuge is her music.” Source
This story is redic. It just keeps getting worse

Update 48: Recently Usher slammed Chris Brown for the attack then quickly recanted his statements. Word is that he was pressured to do so from Chris Brown himself.
A source told the New York Daily News, "Usher was basically forced to issue a retraction. After all of his comments came out, Usher got a call from Chris... Chris got tough with everyone present in that video. He wanted silence from all parties involved.” Chris' spokesperson has said the story is "completely untrue", and now Usher's representative has spoken out. The rep says, "He was not asked or forced (to apologize). Usher issued an apology for the comments made towards all parties mentioned in the clip." Source
Uh huh…something’s fishy here. Then again this whole thing is fishier than an Amsterdam whore.


Update 49:

So the infamous woman connected to the text that started Chriannagate is supposedly none other than CB’s manager Tina Davis. The two have been rumored to be getting it in since Chris was 16 but both have denied it.
The three page text reportedly talked about hooking up later and caused Rihanna to fly off the handle slapping and hitting Chris. He put a kibosh to that with several slams to her dome.
The detective’s affidavit refers to the text message as being “from a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with.”
Tina Davis, who turns 40 this month, couldn’t be reached for comment.
Aye Dios! I can’t.

Update 50:
Diddy and Ellen got into it the other day on her show as to why he let them stay at his crib.
“It’s my house, and I’m allowed to give my house to whoever I want to give my house to,” Diddy said on the show. “I don’t cast a stone – cast judgment on anybody. So, if friends ask me for a favor, then I’m going to be there for a favor as long as I know the energy of the favor is positive.” SOURCE
Well there you have it.

Update 51:
Chris has taken his name out of the ballot for the Kids’ Choice Awards. He was nominated for favorite male singer and favorite song (“Kiss Kiss”)for the show airing on March 28th, but he’s taken his name out. This is despite Nickelodeon’s choice to stand behind him and not remove him as a nominee because of petitions to do so. Source
What would it have meant if he won?

Updates 39-41: Chris Brown Arrested

Update 39:
So we’re slowly getting more insight into what happened the night that Chrihanna had their…tiff. According to police affidavits CB got a long text from another woman. Rihanna started fighting with him. He tried to push her out of the car but she was strapped in so he just shoved her against the window. Once she faced him he punched her repeatedly with one hand while driving with the other.
Chris then said, “I’m going to beat the **** out of you when we get home. You wait and see.”
As she called her assistant and left a message saying, “I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there,” Chris replied, “You just did the stupidest thing ever. I’m going to kill you.”
At one point he put her in a headlock causing her to lose consciousness. Source
I’m assuming this is based off of Rihanna’s statements taken by the police. To give Chris the benefit of the doubt (which I hate to do), we have yet to hear his side of things. But for him this is NOT looking good.

Update 40: Usher recently ad some comments speaking out against CB and took them back. He originally said, "I'm a little disappointed in this photo. After the other photo [of Rihanna's bruised face posted by TMZ]? C'mon, Chris. Have a little bit of remorse, man. The man's on jet skis? Like, just relaxing in Miami?"
But then he issued a statement to Us Weekly saying, "The comments made during a recent recording session amongst friends were taken out of context and blown out of proportion. I apologize on behalf of myself and my friends if anyone was offended. The intentions were not to pass judgment and we meant no harm. I respect and wish the best for all parties involved.” Source
Hey, it’s already out there. Real talk, we were all thinking that when we saw pics of him looking easy, breezy, beautiful, CoverGirl atop a water ski, did we not?

Update 41: Chris Brown had to appear in court today and the DA charged him with two felonies, assault and making criminal threats. He faces up to over 4 years in jail. Source

Usher's Wife has Nip Tuck Complications

Usher was supposed to perform at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party but he had to cancel to be with Man-reka. Supposedly she was in Brazil getting plastic surgery done and experienced some complications due to it. It’s so serious a neurosurgeon is on his way to Brazil to access the situation. Source
A neurosurgeon?! Jesus, what was she having done? In any event I hope all turns out ok. She’s got 6 babies to take care of.

Usher Acts up at the Inauguration

Someone wrote into YBF about something that went down with Usher and his man-bride at the Inauguration.
While Usher was in D.C., a 6-7 yr old girl approached him for a picture. Apparently, his bodyguard pushed the little girl down to the ground, and she cried. No one helped her, and guess what? Tameka laughed! So Usher then says he’s pissed because someone is always trying to f*ck things up for him. Wtf?!
The little girl only wanted a picture. As a celebrity that’s his job, and as a mother, I’m ashamed of Tameka, who has kids herself. She wouldn’t want anyone to do that to her children. Source
I don’t know whether or not I believe this but I so hope it’s not true. They should both be happy anyone wants to be pictured with them.

Man-reka Gives Birth

Last week Usher and his man-bride Tameka Foster welcomed their second child Naviyd Ely Raymond weighing in at 5 pounds 13 ounces.
"Tameka and the baby are doing fine," said Simone Smalls, Usher’s rep, in a written statement. I believe this is Tamka’s 6th child. Source
Is she planning on starting a small village, creating staff for a sweat shop perhaps?

Sandra Rose has some viable sources that say Usher Raymond and his wife Tameka Foster (who is 6 months pregnant with their second child) have definitely separated.
Here’s how she breaks it down:

The break up is real. The reason Tameka hasn’t written a book or gone to the media yet is because — according to my source — Tameka is “keeping hope alive” that Usher will come back to her.
Also, according to my source, the couple will not seek a divorce because it would reflect badly on his image. This could be the reason why Usher went crawling back to his mom-manager.
Usher was a guest of honor at Tyler Perry’s Grand Opening on Saturday night. Despite the fact that Tyler posted a message on his website yesterday claiming Usher was there — he wasn’t.
Tameka, who had good reason to believe Usher would be there, showed up hoping to get her picture taken with him.
She looked pitiful walking the red carpet solo — her sadness hidden behind a forced smile.
Usher didn’t show up the next day for Sunday brunch at Tyler Perry’s house either because he thought Tameka would be there.
In the meantime, Usher is busy sowing his seed all over the world. He was spotted leaving a hotel in Paris with an unidentified woman. And paparazzi snapped photos of a jump off kissing baby Usher Raymond V while on an outing with Usher in a park in L.A. Source

I never particularly cared for Tameka…mostly because of her nasty disposition. But hearing this actually makes me feel sorry for her. To be pregnant and distraught over a man isn’t something I’d wish on anyone.

Usher's Peddlin' Panties

Usher’s latest venture is a lingerie line. During Paris Fashion Week he confessed that he was checking out some of the latest lines in hopes of gaining inspiration for his own line of sexy bedroom threads.
He said, "I'm launching a lingerie line for men and women." He insists "comfort and intimacy" will be key in his new line. The first samples will feature in his new video Trading Places. Source
I actually like the idea. Lingerie, for the most part, is for men anyway. They know what they like to see, so why not let them make it.

She-Man is Preggers

A source confirmed to People magazine that Usher and man-wife Tameka Foster are expecting their second child together. Their first son was born November of last year. Usher can’t talk enough about how happy fatherhood makes him. He told People just last month, "I'm so proud to be a father by the time I'm 30. I'd hate to be 80 years old and not be able to run with my kids. I need to still be able to do flips when they're in high school."
"Having a child just completed the story. I already had a giving heart, and I wanted to do something to mentor children."
His reps have yet to confirm anything about a baby, and no one has yet spoken out about whether or not the couple is splitting up. Source
She is quite seriously the most fertile man-woman to ever have lived. Aye, aye, aye, Lord be with them.

Usher and Man-Reka are Dunzo?

Rumors are swirling that Usher and his man-bride are separated…not only that, she’s supposedly pregnant with his second child and due in December. Source via Source
Regardless if this is true or not I’m going to have mixed feelings. If it’s true I’d say yay to splitzville and nay to spawning more with this woman. If its false my dreams of being able to find Usher sexy again are dashed to the ground.

Ur-sher Post

Usher will be among the music artists performing this Sunday (September 7, 2008) at the kickoff of the NFL season. He hopes that this performance will open the door for him to perform at the Superbowl’s halftime show.
"I don't think it's too early to consider it. Certainly being associated with the organization makes that a lot more possible. There have been conversations for a lot of years about me being part of a performance at a Super Bowl… I'm hoping that this leads, definitely, to that. This whole process is basically you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." Source

In Other Usher News…
Usher is putting together his new tour and he has only the ladies on his brain:

The R&B singer revealed in a recent interview with The Associated Press that he will soon announce details of his “One Night Stand” tour. He said specific dates are still being worked out for about 15 “intimate” venues.
Asked why he wanted to perform a “ladies only” tour, Usher said he relishes the challenge. “There’s only a few artists that can pull that off. I feel like I’ve had such a connection with my audience. This album, I felt like, was definitely the type of one that was more intimate. So what better way to get up close and personal than to make it all women? The ladies like to see that masculine build,” he said. “They question if I still got it.” To go with the theme, Usher is also planning his own line of lingerie and men’s undergarments. He already has a fragrance and cologne. Source

Does his uber jealous man-bride know about this bright idea? I’m gonna guess not.
