Drama Fab: Usher To Cops "My Baby Mama Attacked My Ride"

According to TMZ, Usher recently called the cops of His soon to be ex wife, Tameka Foster for sneaking onto his property and scratching up one of his cars.

TMZ has learned Usher Raymond recently called the cops on his soon-to-be ex-wife — accusing her of sneaking onto his property and scratching up one of his cars.

Law enforcement sources tell us when officers arrived at the scene, Tameka Raymond was nowhere to be found.

Police later interviewed both Tameka and Usher — but determined there was no evidence or witnesses to substantiate Usher’s claim.

But the drama didn’t end there — law enforcement sources tell us Usher called the cops on Tameka a second time several days later, complaining that Tameka again got onto his property and wouldn’t leave. By the time cops arrived, Tameka had already split.

Usher filed for divorce back in June … but it hasn’t been finalized just yet.

Thats crazy (If its true)

New Music: Usher - Papers [1st Single]

Newly divorced Usher, is coming back to the music scene. This time really airing out his ex wife, Tameka Foster. "Papers" is the lead single off his forthcoming album "Raymond Vs Raymond" (formerly “Monster”. The track was written by Sean Garret and produced by Zaytoven-produced track, listen below:

The song is lyrically content, but lacks a lot of edge, it just doesn’t have that first single potential. However, its really not a bad sounding song, a good video and good promo can take it to the top. I still can wait to see what his album "Raymond vs Raymond” is all about.

Usher's Album "Monster" Gets a Tentative Release Date

Rap.com recently revieled that, Usher's 6th studio album "Monster" will come in just in time for the seasonal holidays December 8TH.

The newly-single R&B star’s sixth studio album will arrive just in time for the busy holiday shopping season. Monster is scheduled for release on December 8, Rap-Up.com has exclusively learned. Usher has logged studio time with Jermaine Dupri, Ne-Yo, and The Neptunes for the project. A first single is expected within the next month. His last album, 2008’s Here I Stand, debuted at No. 1, selling over 440,000 copies in its first week-Source

So a new single should be expected in the coming weeks. Thoughts?

Usher - Crusin [New Music]

Usher is currently in the studio recording his new album, a new song recently leaked online. The track is titled "Crusin", listen to it below:

Hmm...The Chorus is nice, Im not really feeling it.

Usher and Wife (Tameka) SPLIT!

So according to "In Touch Weekly", R&B superstar Usher is filling for divorce from his Wife of almost 2 years, Tameka Foster.

“Usher’s primary concern is for his children. He is a great father and just wants to do what is right for them.” The soon-to-be exes have two kids together, Usher Raymond V, 18 months, and Naviyd, 6 months. And the insider says that it’s more than just talk — the divorce papers were filed in Atlanta this morning.

The couple has faced problems in the past. In November 2008, In Touch reported that Usher was flirting with girls at a party in Miami, and even asked a model what she was doing afterward. And in February, In Touch revealed that although Usher flew to Tameka’s side after she suffered cardiac arrest from cosmetic surgery in Brazil, he “had no idea that she was there to have surgery.”-InTouch Weekly

First Nas and Kelis, now these two wow! I cant say I didn't see it coming though, they just didnt seem genuine to me. It just looked as if, he married her because she was having his kid. Anyway, this is good for his new album "Monster" (I always thought he was secretly refering to his wife) I hope the split give him inspiration to write some good music, we dont want a "Here I Stand" Part 2.

SPOTTED:Beyonce, Kim K, Amy Winehouse and Usher

Beyonce was spotted shopping at Patricia Field in NYC today. Pictures below.


Amy Winehouse was spotted (strutting her stuff) as she arrived at Westminster Magistrates Court to face charges of common assault yesterday in London. She is alleged to have attacked a fan at a charity ball in Berkeley Square, London in September 2008.


Kim Kardashian was snapped a couple of nights ago as she left the Nobu in Hollywood.


Leaving the wife and kid at home, Usher was seen a couple of nights ago at the VIP Room nightclub in Paris.

Usher, Brian Michael Cox,Johnta Austin and Jermaine Dupree Ridicule Christina Milian

SO 4 grown azz men sat down and decided the topic of their discussion was going to be "Christina Milian's Look". In a recent YouTube blog, "The Ocean 5" Jermaine Dupri, Usher, Brain Cox, Johnta Austin & Tyrone recorded a video of them at the studio, basically bitching about reacting to Christina Milian’s new blond hair and Rihanna taking Chris Brown Back.

A Couple of Quotes:

Johnta: "This is Christina Milian looking like a damn fool"
"That's not what she's supposed to be doing"
Usher:"can we make a unanimous decision, that aint it, that aint it
Jonhta:I used to think Christina Milian was hot, I used to want to take her to bed. She couldn't even get a ride to the bus station from me, looking like this right now"
Tyrone: "she looks like she's at the bus station"
Johnta: " I need a drink now, watching bullshit like this"

Then they later bitched about Rihanna taking Chris Brown back calling them the new "Ike and Tina, Then Usher added, Chris Brown isn't showing any remorse because he's been jet skiing in Maimi.

Although not many people liked it, Christina wore her hair they way she wanted to, she liked it, its her hair. So for them to sit down and ridicule her like that, its highly unacceptable, quite sad to be honest.

Usher is really one to talk, his last album "Here I Stand" excluding his début, was one of his worst selling albums to date, so instead of him to go and look after his kid, he's sitting there talking about women that are out of his league. Not to take it there, but his wife is really something to run home to isn't she? After she almost lost her life last month undergoing plastic surgery. Usher? you didn't catch much videos of that on youtube, now did you? They all need to grow up!!

UPDATE:Usher has issued a statement, apologising for his recent comments-MTV News

NEW VIDEO::Usher-Traiding Places

Check out the new video from Usher, "Trading Places" is 3rd single from Ushers hit 5th studio album "Here I Stand".



WOW!!! That video was amazing, "SEX" is other words!!! lol

That Piano was doing it for me. He really pulled the cat outta the bag for this one. I applaud him. Although im not too hot on the song (or the album) he killed it with a good video. I must say, I would have prefered the oringinal choice of 3rd single "His Mistakes" thats my song. But if you are looking at it from a commercial point of vewi, im guessing "Trading Places" is the better chocie of single.

But whats going on with all the slow jams, where the Dancing Usher we all know, he needs to let the slow jams be and put out a good club banger!
