Tameka: “In My Mind, Usher and I Are Still Married”

Posted by Bossip Staff

Tameka Foster

Tameka knows she needs to get her life in check and stop living in delusional town. Usher filed divorce papers and has been living in his own place for a year. What more does this poor woman need to see before she realizes her Hollyweird marriage is done?

Tameka Foster, the woman who Usher seems bent on divorcing, will not let a little thing like divorce papers get in the way of her marriage. Exhibit A: She’s still wearing her wedding ring.

We got the shot at LaGuardia Airport in New York yesterday. Usher seems more than ready to cut ties. We got him at LAX this week minus his wedding band.

This is when a woman needs some real girlfriends who will slap some sense into her @ss. SMH

    Hey just coz the marriage over there’s NO NEED to toss a good looking diamond ring.

    I say “go ahead Tameka, rock that rock!”

  3. Girl Please Make My Day

    women are usually more sentimental, some are just delusional.

  4. enkogkneegro

    Happy daddys day

  5. Ok

    When those divorce papers are delivered that whaen you shouldnt hold on anymore. I mean but if Usher is dead set on a divorce she might as well let it go! He is out there f*ckin every chick and you still waiting for him to come home and “come to his senses”. No ma’am! Move on! I would however keep that ring!!! Please, marriage might be a wrap but that ring would def be on my hand for eternity unless I decided to ***** that motherf*cker!

  6. Eboni

    she need to just let it go. the marriage is over & her don’t want her anymore time to move on!!

  7. hotsmiles

    :L i always hated her

    LOLugly *****

  8. Negrita Tan Rica

    In her defense, divorce is never an easy thing to get over. However, Usher should have listened to his mami first, because even when the divorce is finalized, he is still attached to this woman for the rest of her life. Momma always knows best and she knew Tamika was up to no good. This is a marriage that should have never happened…poor kids.

  9. tameka

    poor thing she thinks she is still marryed get a life tamerka this marrege is done deal usher moived on with out your azzzzzzzzzzzzzz. movie on go back with your ex he the only one would take your goldigging azzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz back with your sons not usher sons just your eight sons you had with ypur ex.

  10. tgreen

    I have to say I’m not a Tameka fan first of all and not because she married usher but because she left her kids with the dad to marry another man and have other children but I will say its her ring and she can wear it as long as she wants and furthermore until the divorce is final she is after all married. Why are you people worried about whether or not she has a diamond, could it be because a lot of you have never had a guy give you one and if you did it was what i like to call a industrial diamond can we all stop being so materialistic. Its just a rock but then again if you ever owned a few nice ones you would know that. Lets worry about more important things like when her other kids grow up and realize their mom left them to make another family. That is a slap in the face to say the least and I’m sure down the road she will have to repent for her actions whatever the case if she wants to hold on to her 15 minutes of fame to get her alimony check let her if you were in her shoes most of you would do the same thing

  11. Lyfe

    Usher married a fraudulent brawd…now, he is about to reap the repercussion. In reality, I think this dude is as fraudulent as the woman he married. You mean to tell me, you fought so many people, including your mother for the love and approval of your woman…only to file of divorce 2 years later?

    I don’t think this marriage was based on love…more so business. Both had some business agenda. She would get a healthy alimony check….and he would have new material for his upcoming album. It is a risk…and may backfire.

  12. anon

    Stop putting words in her mouth. Just because she is still wearing her ring that does not mean she is not realizing what is going on. Bossip you all are hell bent on trying to make her look bad.

  13. Truth be told

    Soundz like a Heather Headley remix

  14. leave-it-be

    ;;;;;;;;;;; SO WHAT IF SHE IS STILL WARING THE RING, SHE GOT TWO KIDS BY HIM SO SHE SET FOR AWHILE AT LEAST UNTIL THE KIDS ARE GROWN! HOPE HE DIDNT FIND OUT ” HE IS NOT THE FATHER THE REASON FOR THE DIVORCE???? :(

  15. blackbeltshopper

    Girl cut your mental &(hopes of)physical ties w/him bec he already did w/you…Now you know how your 1st husband felt..wanting someone that dont want you..silly chick!!! Just cherish the moments. save all your pictures & enjoy ALL of your children…It’s time to focus on ALL of them now…

  16. Bri Bri

    I used to defend Usher and his choice in marrying Tameka. I thought he had really grown up and made his own decision, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what the hell is his problem? Apparently he knew this woman for years before he married her. He marries her defends her and his decision to marry her to the entire world just to turn around and divorce her barely 2 years later?!?!? This guy is a fraud. Not only is he a fraud but he’s a fraud who brought 2 innocent babies into his mess. What an douche bag.

  17. bobbi

    Bri Bri, usher is a homo. he put his long time boyfriend through medical school and, last year, when the BF tried to end it with him, he went ballistic. i think usher needs to come on out and live his life the way he really wants to. keeping up false images is no way to live…

  18. 619Diva

    pathetic………


  19. This woman is delusional and that makes her look very pathetic.

  20. bcan

    this is situation is the psycho… he’s been living on his own for a year but she just had a baby some months ago. did he hit for the last time & then move out? he did SEVERAL interviews professing his love for her then he divorces her out of the blue…??? like this just doesn’t add up to me. i feel bad for her & i definatley feel bad for the children.

  21. anon

    Usher could not take what his new life choice (wife and kids) did to his career so he is cutting ties and simply choosing the music. Music is #1 to him. Too bad for him he is walking out on true happiness. He needs to grow up. Tameka you are great so keep your head up.

  22. anon

    or rather choosing more $$$$ over his family.

  23. Sit yo 5$ ***** own before I make some change ( Usher-Tamecka=a 1# Album)!!

    Girl, it is time to give it up! Maybe you should go back to being stylist or whatever you were doing before him..you have too many kids to be running behind a man…Lol

  24. justreal504

    Tameka is too old for that immature boy/man, he looks better than her, plus she has more miles on her than a 72′ Cutl*****. That woman is cut like a a man in the face and body.. What is REALLY GOING ON? I think he has a fetish for jumping off older women. Anywho, that ain’t my business…but since other people feel the need to dip, I had to throw in my 2cents.

  25. .....:)

    OLD LADY PLEASE.

  26. ShavonDenise

    She might be a little cra cra but she’s ride or die! SHE shouldnt have never married his phony, fake, nympho butt anyway. Usher is in the media and he wants the next hot thing to be on his arm while she is a downhome chick. I hope she gets everything she deserves for her heart being broken because she has been in his life for a looong time even before he was with Chilli.

    P.S. I am a “Lifer” and I do watch Jermaine Dupri’s blog I’m a BIG fan. Usher is a member of his club but I never really felt Ush’s attitude! I might be wrong but JD proved me wrong when I thought he was just *****y with no substance but Ush you havent so the above statement stands.


  27. EVERYONE SAW THIS COMING… SO WHY IS IT KNEWS, HE MARRIED AN WASHED UP COUGAR, NOW GE WANTS OUT, PLE*****E I THINK HE SHOULD HAVE TO STAY WITH HER *****, EVERYNE HE KNEW SAID NOT TO DO IT, HE DID IT, AND DEFENDED HER AND WAS SO IN LOVE, NOW CUZ HES HAD ENOUGH HE WANTS OUT, THATS WHAT IS WRONG WITH BLACK AMERICA TODAY, WE DONT HAVE THE PATIENCE OR THE DRIVE TO STICK WITH ANYTHING TO TRY TO MAKE IT WORK!!! NO FAIR HE SHOULD HAVE TO STAY WITH THE DAMN BARACUDA, HELL ALL THAT TROUBLE TO MARRY HER AND FOR WJAT…. ALBUM SALES. HE DIDNT EVEN SELL ANY

  28. Erykah

    she needs to worried about the basketball squad she calls kids and try getting on with her life instead of smiling all in NYC!! The both of them should have known the mess wasn’t going to work esp. with postponing the wedding for a week and Usher’s mom expressing her dislike of the situation. We all should have known the split was coming when he left her ***** in Brazil after he found out her dumb ***** was okay after the lipo surgery. Wendy Williams told it a while ago about Tameka having some dirt on Usher and that the marriage was a business deal. I clearly don’t see where she turned from stylist to “main chick”. She must have picked out a great outfit for Usher that the fool saw stars in his eyes when he glanced at her *****!!! Good luck to them and their children.

  29. Kigali-INTERdependent Black Woman)

    Usher needs to get custody of his children because she ISNT a fit mother and she will probably leave his two for another man to make more children.

    Usher, get custody, plant some dope on her *****. Save your children.

  30. NANA

    This woman was married and left her husband and kids for Usher Raymond. God don’t like ugly,…This is good for her and Usher alike…They were both wrong for marrying each other…………

  31. Whatever

    I still cannot even believe that Usher married such a scrub. I mean, damn…WHAT WAS HE THINKING??? And he planted seeds inside her. He really should just shoot himself right now–I would, LOL…

  32. 2am

    TAMEKA IS MARRIED to USHER, separated couples reconcile all the time

  33. Yvonne

    Unless Tameka knows something we don’t, I would call my marriage a wrap.

    I would put the ring in a safety deposit box at my bank, make sure I have a good divorce attorney so the money will be there for my children’s future, work out visitation rights, then make sure I have enough alimony to live good and plan on starting some sorta business.

    Then I would get to stepping and never look back.

  34. anonymous non hater

    your writers are ignorant….maybe the divorce is a…….ready for this???…..Publicity Stunt….can u guys spell that?!..

    and for all the women haters….are u single?…or is your man faithful? if you’re spending time hating on someone you don’t know, watch how your life is affected…karma is real..

    Answer: TAMEKA

    LOL! I still crack myself up sometimes.

  38. Truth be told

    Would it kill some of you to be humane? Geesh.

    Never ceases to amaze me how people can be so damn judgemental about people they do not even know and have never even seen in real life for that matter. I get it, its a blog but damn, lighten up.

    Maybe its just me but i don’t see the point in getting all negative, after you spew all that out where does it really go? With you into your interactions with real people that’s where. I mean How many details of these peoples’ lives do we really know and didn’t get from Bossip. Anywayz, this is a loosing battle. Wishing a little “INNER PEACE’ and ‘HAPPINESS” to the bossip crew on this father’s day. Now I’m going to spend the remainder of it with mine.

    Blessed.

  39. deesac

    Of course she gonna say that. Its part of a nappy head game plain. I don’t know whats the problem I never knew we had problems. ***** please!! At this point the only thing she really got to do is sit back and wait to go to court and collect her dividends for the two kids, Usher will get the idiot of the year award.

  40. lilb

    people tryin to play usher for a fool. he knew what kind of woman tameka was before he married her. and they were only married 2 years? one of those they didn’t even live together. sounds like he married her to have his kids. something gay guys do.with him being in the music business it is not unusual for them to be divorcing after two years. that typical and it doesn’t affect his career

  41. ..*MOcarsMOclothesMOjewelsMOdoe*..(HAPPY BABYDADDY DAY!)

    tameka save your ring.cause you might have to sell it one day.

    TAMEKA!your fantasy ride is now over! PLEASE RELEASE THE SAFETY LATCH,AND EXIT TO THE LEFT.

    ————————————————–

    Finally! Someone understands what happened here! They only married to have kids and Tameka wanted to be able to say my kid’s father was my husband. They didnt even stay together for more then a year before Usher moved out. This was he plan all along and the divorce is just the last phase. Usher got kids with a woman who is seemly responsible, mature and independent. Tameka got kids by Usher who will probably be a good father, married status for future reference and all of the financial *****istance she requires. Maybe Tameka went along with the plan even though she wold have like to stay with Usher but that was an impossible task for an older, less attractive woman like her for the git go.

  43. ANDREA

    I personally think it was a business kind of thing. Why would she leave her husband that she had 4 kids with to be with someone who knows nothing about commitment to a relationship especially some old ***** woman with kids? It was for the all mighty dollar.

    My opinion he wanted kids that were not born out of wedlock and I truly believe he is a gay black male. To fend off all those rumors he got married and had kids. I just think she was somebody to carry his babies and now he got them he can live his life.

    Usher used to ***** around with someone I knew before he blew up and we have the pictures to prove it. And back then he was definitely bisexual.

  44. chanchan

    Tameka, are you okay? With all sincerity, are u okay?

  45. ja nae nae

    can you say ***** shop?

  46. MaRRieD_MoMMy2_God's_Greatest_Gift

    In Tameka’s defense, I can kind of understand still wearing her ring. It’s beautiful and I’m sure the rock is HUGE!
    Divorce is always hard but I don’t think this was a real marriage to begin with. And seriously, she can’t be all that attached to his gay ***** since they were only married for 2 years, that’s ONLY 24months and if rumors are true and he moved out a year ago, that means they were only living as husband and wife for 12months. He may have still been hittin it, which has a tendency to get a ***** sprung but seriously, she should have already been prepared for it. She’ll be fine, financially. Although she might need a little therapy soon, because I can see her being the type to just flip the hell out and go crazy.

  47. naya

    For some reason, I doubted that this relationship/marriage would ever last. I don’t think she was in good terms with the mother and I think the marriage was sped up because of the pregnancy. Usher could do better but hey we I have no idea what goes on behind closed doors.

  48. Hazelnut

    She is still married to Usher. She was just served with papers last week – give the woman a break. Everybody has their opinions about her…How would you feel if you were in her shoes right now?


  49. Tameka is going to tie Usher up and put a board between his feet.

    ——{—–@

  50. Speaking the truth...

    Cl*****ic example of what is more important to him..his image and career than his marriage. Regardless if he is gay or not…he is still running from a lie.

  51. Whatcha*****outdat?

    Tameka has every right to keep her ring and to wear it as long as she likes. Fucc what everybody else thinks b’cuz I would take my ring off unless “I” wanted to.

    As my father says… Do You Boo!!!

  52. Wenzel Dashington A.K.A. (Da Notorious A.I.G.)

    Young strange > Milf head.

    Sorry Meka, but, the child support checks should be nice and big. Mel B did her thing. So can you.

  53. I'm Just ME

    Um, in your mind he is probably straight too, honey, and we all know that is not the truth.

  54. dern shame

    The marriage was real to her it seems. My only gripe is that she left her kids to have more kids with someone else. I hope she seeks forgivness from her children first and foremost.

  55. lisa

    FATAL ATTRACTION ALERT!!!!!!!!!! USHER MAY NEED TO GET HIS KIDS, AND HIS MOTHER, AND GO INTO HIDING IN SOME KIND OF PROTECTION PROGRAM. HIS NEW SIDE PIECE AND CHILLI MAY WANNA JOIN THEM. THIS BROAD IS NUTS! HAVING HIM FOLLOWED AND STUFF. POPPING BABIES TO TRY TO TIE HIM DOWN, WHICH DIDN’T WORK. SHE IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WELL, AND NOT LIVING IN REALITY.

  56. HANNIBALS PIMP AKA MR.BACKHAND

    USHER GOT ***** WHUPPED THATS ALL.

  57. Jade Silver (the countdown has begun)

    It ain’t over til the papers are signed. I’m a fan of fighting for your marriage. Dilusional or not when you vow to stick with someone ‘Til death’ it’s not easy to accept when they want to leave. A marriage should only dissolve once BOTH parties have explore every avenue and have tried everything to make it work. I don’t think that was the case here.

  58. Danielle

    Ummmm…Bossip, can you do that? You clearly used quotation marks and I didn’t see anything in what you posted that says she actually said that.

  59. TheFashionistaChic

    This is mean, it takes a really rotten person to write such a thing.

  60. nikkayyy

    o well i dont feel bad 4 her

    Why do you guys keep creating false quotes???

  64. lies and bull*****

    usher is an *****hole!

  65. Ms. T.

    In her mind they are still married because she still has access to that money…once the divorce starts to get heated and the credit cards get cut off then it will become real for her, lol.

  66. deesac

    I sit here and I’m reading the blog. I reading really how all black women are defending Tameka when they know good and well that she had a plain. And Usher just don’t have any common sense. Its just amazing how women take there f up lifes and make accuses for another. That’s why 90% black relationship don’t work,your done before you even step into the relationship
    Is it true that most black women a scorne. And then you blame good blackmen for dating out there race. I seen no long javity so why even wast your time

  67. Tee

    For someone that doesnt want to be talked about .. Tameka is doing alot of talking ..

  68. WIFEY06

    wELL BLACK WOMEN ON THESE SITES WHOULD BE VERY HAPPY… ANOTHER FAILED BLACK MARRIAGE.. JUST GREAT

    I SEE WHY IT DOES NOT WORK FOR CELEBS.. THEY SPEND SO MUCH TIME BEING PHONEY I DON’T SEE HOW THEY CAN MAKE ANYTHING REAL WORK.. AND THAT IS THE TRUTH.. ALL THINGS AROUND THESE CELEBS EVEN THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM SUCKING UP..

  69. WIFEY06

    BLACK WOMEN DO NOT WANT TO BE HAPPY NOR DO THEY WANT OTHER BLACK WOMEN TO BE HAPPY!!!

  70. Moreaces

    I just dont know what to say regarding this subject, my God Bless them all, Just a crazy story

  71. damon

    YOU AINT MISSING ANYTHING

  72. SP. E-Z!!!

    WOW, YALL GOIN HARD!

    THEY SAY THE PAPERS R IN THE WORKS!

    HE DOES LOOK LIKE HE MOVED ON THOUGH…

  73. jay1

    i am getting so tired of people sayin that tameka was in ushers life longer than chilli. usher has known chilli since he was 14 when he was signed to laface.she didnt become his stylist til 2000 or 2001.and tameka really needs to get over he’s already seen with another women.also she wasn’t tryin to hold on to her other husband so y is she tryin to hold on to usher…and what kind of loving wife hires a private detective to follow her husband…this marriage was never goin to work

  74. Tracy

    People break up everyday and go their separate ways…Tameka and Usher will get through this. I don’t understand why so many people hate Tameka so. Why they felt she wasn’t deserving of Usher is a mystery to me? Maybe, we need to look inward to ask ourselves why we despise this woman so? Maybe because she was an orginal woman like ourselves and maybe we don’t feel deserving of something good in our lives. I respect Usher for marrying an orginal woman but the cards were stack against them from jumpstreet. People hurled insults at this woman for no reason and tried to belittle this woman every chance they could. I think it did get to her because if I were her it would’ve have effected my self-esteem. Tameka, take care of your handsome sons and DO YOU.

  75. Li

    Why shouldn’t she wear her wedding ring? It is beautiful jewelry and it was a gift! This post is very misleading and is a disgusting attempt to make Ms. Foster-Raymond look bad.

  76. Anemus-Lady

    If she was smart, she would sell that ring to get a good attorney to get that paper unless they signed a prenup….

  77. JustStupid34

    She must be from Gastonia…chicks out there stay trying to hold on to a nicca that don’t want’em!

  78. SweetSable

    I knew something was awry with them from when he made that changing places video….

  79. Pana

    Just further proves my point that this chick is NUTS, lol.
