Am I first!

I hope I’m first for once?

pathetic

FIRST ……………..BEEEEEECHES

save it, tameka. no matter how you spin it, you’re still an old gold digging trick who’s plan to take over usher’s life and money failed. deal with it, and move on to the next young fool.

Can she answer one question….DANG!

She need to sit down somewhere. Usher does too.

Usher’s momma pegged this chick as no good from day one. take notes, fellas. if your mom thinks your girl is no good, 9 times out of 10 she’s right.

thank God Usher finally came to his senses.

Yall are acting mad at her! Yall DO NOT KNIW HER! YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT HE WAS LIKE OUTSIDE THE PUBLIC EYE! I personally am sympathetic to her situation!

I dont think I will ever forgive Usher for marrying this woman

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!!

Oh, and YAWNNNNN on this played out trick!

Blah!

I like Meka…she seems very intelligent.

LMAO @ that picture….girl bye!

Yeah, Usher ain’t no angel in this. For every story there’s two sides plus the truth.

what people tend to forget is that she was ushers stylist first! this woman had her own when she met him. usher is just doing what he has been doing cheating!

She knew what she was doing when she got with Usher. Talking about she loves her children. He should have asked her why is it she only have Usher children leaving with her. Fake mother. She knew she was going to get paid once she had his baby.

damn, Usher why did you do it.
mama told ya

Boooo

Tameka is not a gold digger, she had her own money before she married Usher. And regardless of her age or how many kids she has, Usher obviously accepted her for who she was. I’m sure they signed a prenup so leave the woman alone!!!

She’s starting to bother me

I ALWAYS knew in my heart that Tameka was USING USHER!!!!! I’m not saying he’s perfect but this was NEVER A GOOD MATCH!!! EVERYONE KNEW HIS MOM EVERYONE!!! It had NOTHING to w/ her complexion! (hello??? we ALL except Kim Porter and Diddy and they are the same color!)….I could tell from the beginning Tameka was a NO GOOD GOLD DIGGING GHETTO B*TCH!!!!!!!!!

I think Usher should come out clean and tell us once and for all wat kind of blackmail or black magic this woman had on him coz from the word go you could see it was going nowhere

Testing…

optomeka loooool

@ Alright then

I couldn’t have said it better myself!!!! SO TRUE!!!! I AGREE 100%!!!!

I’m not mad at her! Why all these women have post in the past that they don’t have to impress the inlaw, then turn around and say 9 times out of 10 the momma is right about the daughter in law?
I don’t understand!

Tameka is upset about the whole situation. She needs to fall back, collect her checks and raise them kids.

Go Tameka! Let everybody know the truth and not what everybody writing about. I love her coming into her own independence after all the mess!

As far as Tameka having her own money…#fail. She was ONLY a stylist. She did not come from wealth and stylist do not make lots of money unless they are employed by many celebs. She wasn’t employed by many celebs and she wasn’t available as much because she had 3 kids to raise…now 5 kids to raise.

poor tameka, shes so lost

Tameka was dodging the he!! out of those questions!She knows da** well she was mad about the Love in the Club song too. She’s basically saying “I was mad about the song, will be keeping my last name as Raymond and I’m officially still his wife.” The bytch is delusional if you ask me. I like her speaking voice though….it’s very pretty.

Say what u want but I feel bad for this woman, 2nd divorce and all those fatherless kids, smdh

YOU KNOW I THINK THIS YOUNG LADY HAS A SELF HATE COMPLEX. IT FEELS LIKE SHE IS AVOIDING CERTAIN QUESTIONS BUT JUMPING RIGHT IN ON THINGS LIKE HOW SHE STYLED HIM IN THAT PICTURE. IT IS A PLOY FOR ATTENTION. A LACK OF SELF LOVE. SOME WOMEN TEND TO MANIPULATE TO IMMULATE WHAT THEY WISH THEY WERE. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING BROWN SKINNED

Usher is wrong as hell for that song, I dont care what anyone says it’s clearly about Tameka (at least the majority of the song) i think shes denying it b/c shes embarrassed by it and its def. not a good look for Usher b/c he should’ve done a classier song considering that he is talkin about the mother of his kids, smdh AND regardless he knew what he was gettin into when he married her

THE UNFORTUNATE PART IS THAT THESE YOUNG BLACK MEN THAT SHE GAVE BIRTH TWO WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT LOVE IS REALLY ABOUT UNLESS ANOTHER WOMAN TEACHES IT TO THEM.

So sad that people marry for anything other than love. Its like a fu–ing fad or something, Marry for money, have kids so u can take the money, its just sad

usher is gonna be who he is. i will not keep giving him attention i am more concerned about these children and the impact of a fatherless home will have on them. it aint always about money. Teaching a young person to become the best can come from a mother or a father but only a real man can raise a man

@miko
uh sweetie this is a blog column for the public. The public will always have an opinion and if you have a problem with what any of us are opinionating about then LEAVE THE SITE AND DON’T COME BACK TO IT!!!!!! Just a public service announcement everyone judges something or someone before they leave this earth reflect!!! don’t have nothing to do about our damn bills

Glad to see she’s in good spirits. Keep your head up Tameka. Best of luck to the both of them.

both of these Ho’s needs to shut the fock up….take your gotdam bull$hit somewhere else…I don’t give a fock about what you are doing….who you are doing…. or your gotdam kids or your gotdam money. Get the fock out of here!!!!!!!!!
and his fat azzz old azzz mammy aint got no business butting in her son’s affairs. she needs to find a man of her own..gotdammit.

She is the mostly ugliest black woman I have ever seen I was shocked to find out she is in her 30′s I thought she was pushing 50. I don’t think anyone us will understand WHY? usher married this ashy burnt grey woman? I wished Usher would have married a beautiful young dark skinned woman that was intelligent and not a gold digger trapping him in wedlock. Thats just my two cents from this black girl from lil ole Canada

This -itch was all over the place with this interview

I could care less about either one of them but I die every time I see this pic of her. LOL. What the f*ck was she doing?!

man usher should have listen to his mother. She knew from the jump that she wasn’t good for him but a hard head makes a soft behind. We learn from our mistakes and usher’s mistake is going to cost him dearly.

I cant stand most of these dumb ass, easily influenced, can’t think for themselves, got to follow and not lead people out here. The same people who would give up their religion, if their friends did it too. 99% of people are followers…”If you don’t like her, I wont either. Let’s tarnish her and make her feel bad ’cause after all maybe she’ll read this and commit suicide. Yeeeaaa!! That will be so cool!”..
Come on people. Most of y’all have not even met this chick in person and truly can say you ‘hate’ her. Strong, strong words for someone who didn’t do anything but marry someone who she thought was a good man and vice versa. Please stop the hate for Tameka. She is a beautiful woman (physically)– I don’t know her personally to say otherwise–and don’t say she isn’t because in all honesty she looks like most of y’all aunts, cousins, or even some of y’all mommas… and will you call your momma ugly?? No! But that’s exactly what yall doing by calling her ugly, etc. Essentially what youre doing is calling yourselves ugly!…Let that sit on ya head for a minute. It’ll soak in eventually.

I still will have to say,that she cannot be blame for everything that went wrong in the marriage.One minute usher has women thinking that their the one for him, and then second he leaves them.Tameka did play her part but like someone else said there always 3 sides to a story,the his side, her side,and the truth.

**Crickets**

Can we stop encouraging this please?

Dang.

It took this long for her to no longer be relevant, can we enjoy the bliss and stop perpetuating this nonsense….Please??!?!?

SMH.

This chick is flat out delusional. She needs to come back to earth and answer to reality!!

-Ignore my last comment please-

I am starting to believe that when tameka allegedly went into cardiac arrest that maybe it was a ploy to play on usher’s sympathy because the marraige was coming to an end then. I could be wrong but i don’t think she ever went into cardiac arrest and if you think about it this was about the time they would’nt be seen together again and not to mention she was out shopping like two or three day’s after she allegedly flatlined. This woman seems a bit delusional to me.

THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EACH STORY AND 9 TIMES OUT OF 10, I HATE TO SAY IT BUT, THE WOMAN IS CORRECT.

Ooh Usher is gonna flop harder than Flipflops this time. SMH

These are my Confessions…

They probably shouldn’t of gotten married. They both had baggage especially Tameka but now there stuck with each other for a good long time. I feel sorry for the next girl Usher is with because she will have to deal with all that drama.

MikeNMiami

Ooh Usher is gonna flop harder than Flipflops this time. SMH

___________________________________________________

LOL!

I do believe he’ll be whining about this soon!

Could care less about her situation with Usher, my two cents, she has a great speaking voice…

She is bitter. But can you blame her? She sounds like her age too.

A man should always be a man. Usher was on national television professing his love for Tameka. How soon we forget. At this point, one can question whether or not he ever truly loved Tameka. Love doesn’t die that quickly. In the span of two years they birthed two children. Now he hates her. Now this song. I question his being a real man. Yes you respect your mother, listen to her opinion, but a man leaves his home to join a woman in marriage and build their home.

I hate to say this, but when Usher’s fan base dwindled so did his love for Tameka. Sad, but true. When he failed to sell cds equal to the amount of Confessions, he stopped loving Tameka and started blaming her for his failures.

Sad, but true.

What is up with that pic of her tho? She looks terrible…and as far as her and Usher goes, everyone knew it was not going to last long, it actually went on a lil longer than I thought.

That voice is annoying! What’s up w/the yetti wig?I thought she was a stylist? I know we have our days but have them at home..you’re still married to a celeb and you’re in the same circles..step it up!

WHO SAYS “JAMMIN”? YOU KNOW THAT TRICK IS OLDER THAN JESUS.LOL

I agree with you totally. It seems that Usher is immature in this one. He was confused and took the public along with him. Also, isn’t it funny how all of Ushers last 3 or 4 albums surrounded his very public breakups and situations?

I don’t care for Tameka or Usher. But he’s a punk for putting that song out. I don’t see how everyone is making him the golden boy in this. He’s putting all his business in the street, just like her. You claim to love her but why are you trying to embarrass the mother of your children?

Black women bashing another black women. Too much time is spent doing this. Most of you are single and you are sitting up here bashing Tameka. At least she got married, which is what most of you hope to do.

What did you do today girl, aww I spent my day bashing black women with black men. Yea something to shoot for. Black women get off the dang internet before all the black men are gone with all non black women.

B’More

Usher’s momma pegged this chick as no good from day one. take notes, fellas. if your mom thinks your girl is no good, 9 times out of 10 she’s right.

THATS NOT TRUE B’MORE…..MY MOTHER IN LAW WAS WRONG ABOUT ME AND MY MOM WAS WRONG ABOUT MY HUSBAND.

Bashin at its best

______________________

Sure thing. I don’t even know who you’re talking to or what you men. So what if blk men go to non blk women. you can’t stop any man, from doing what he’s going to do. I am lost, as to what you mean. I also wonder if you know what you mean….

And trust me,dear, I’m all for blk unity, but you are coming wrong. Just my 2 cents..

The interviewer is Ryan Cameron. Very popular VJ in ATL. He is a very funny guy. I think he was just trying to read Tameka here. He wasn’t really boring, if you notice he played around a little with her, and tried to get reaction out her. Like when he asked about the ring and kept bringing up the photo of Usher. Believe me- Ryan is a genius interviewer!!

zzzzzZZZZZZZZ

Regardless if Meka had her own $$ or not…Usher isn’t Bambi. Ask Superhead, mkay. He was skeezin on Chilli so I don’t feel sorry for “Eerrr-sher.” Everyone always wants to blame the female in the relationship but bottom-line Usher defied all (Momager) to marry this trick. He sign up for it, mkay. So leave Meka and dem kidz alone.

Most times when Black Men date Non Black Women it usually because Black Women give those men a hard time, and men will always TAKE THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE, my brother dates white women exclusively not because he hates himself or black women,but because black women gave him a hard time —–

I believe you that is why most black men aren’t around raising there kids and not in there lives. Good point! Way to go black community. Jails will be eagerly waiting for those little black boys growing up with no father to steer them because it is too much resistance for a black man. Cop out!!

Black women and men have a different set of life issues that other non raced people will never understand. Keep running to what is easier instead of working out any issues. The only race of men that are notorious for this are black men. Not all are this way because there are good ones but just not enough.

How do we know she is the one who f*ck#d up the mariage? I guess since she is not up to our standard of beauty she must be at fault?

It is always the dark skin black womans fault alice. At least that is who get pegged for all the responsibility. Most of the comments focus on her looks and the fact that she has kids. Wake up world 70 percent of black women and men have kids. Yes I said and men. How can a black women have kids alone. There has to be a father somewhere?? He may not be around but he still layed down with her and had those kids.

Usher is an idiot for airing is dirty laundry just to make some money. STFU!, you got kids and not matter what, Tameka is there mom. All this will do is have those little boys looking at black women in a negative light. Tameka needs to STFU, and stopping worrying about cheating Usher anyway.

So a women will be with a black man with alot of kids but not a black women?? Whateva!

Mark Rich black men will put up with crap from white women but won’t put up with the same crap for a black women. I have a black male cousin who is with a white women and miserable. The only reason he got with her is because he wanted his kids to be less black looking because he is dark skin. All women give crap, it is just in a different form. Black people have more crap to bear and that is why they are having trouble working together and staying together. White women don’t have to deal with half the stuff black women do and that may be why they are easier and more pleasant.

When black men get with white women, most of the time it doesn’t last. The white women end up rich as hell raising their kids. A study was done on the success of the relationship interracially and black men didn’t even rank in the long term success so it seems that maybe some of the issues are with the black man and he thinks by running from his problems he can escape them. This isn’t all black men but certain ones that boast about having them a white girl.

Anyone can be difficult. It depends on who you give a pass to and who you don’t. At least Tameka married the man of her last two kids. She is still getting bashed. Damn black women can’t do anything right can they. You are damned if you do and damned if you don’t

Speaking on my black male cousin, he doesn’t come around his family, maybe the whole family is too difficult, they are black- and he cheats on his white wife with other white women. They have been seperated off and on and almost divorced. He complains on her to.

Remember these same black women procreated with a black women, so they are baby papas. lol! They deal with the mans baby mamas and all his kids.

Usher is a hoe, and Tameka is a gold digger.
Moving on?

___________________________

True. Swirl relationships NEVER last.

Tameka and Usher sign them darn papers and call it the day…please!

@Uncle E- don’t give up, all the game…But that was a good sermon, I must say..

Everyone wants to act like it is all on HER. Come on now. Dont anyone think of the kids. He took vows with this woman and made two kids with her and left. What happened to better or worse? He knew how she was when he married her. But he is less than a man for bailing out on two kids, one that was barely born when he left. I see him in a different light now, he is a dead beat dad just like NAS. And he should have stuck it out and at least tried for his kids. He is a loser.

Why is everyone getting so riled? And the tenor of these comments. The language. Everyone has the right to expression but sometimes we don’t even come across as civilized let alone educated. And to the ladies, please with these terrible words to call other black women.

None of us posting knows anyone here. Noticed I included myself. But to think that we are so animated that we say these awful things is disheartening. I hope that we aren’t so resolved to saying things that in times past only men would say. We need to find better ways to express ourselves.

It isn’t attractive. People talk about Tameka Raymond being unattractive on the outside. Let’s try and focus what’s on the inside. Some of our insides need work and it is obvious. I can’t imagine men being attracted to some of the filth that we allow to leave our mouths. And putting each other down as black women does not aid in making us more attractive either.

bottom line: PLUS u know Ursher only creates these fake situations to have album material!!!!!

@Mark Rich

Your post said most brothas date outside because of sistas behavior in which the implication is that most sistas have issues with how they treat black men. You now say from what you’ve experienced and since you’re you and not most men thats a much different perspective so the broad brushing of black women was what irritated me

I dont mean to paint anyone in broad generalizations my point is my brother is a good dude, raised right, kinda nerdy if you will, and from my observation that generally means is not highly desirable at a young age to certain women, now as we have gotten older I am seeing more black women take interest in him, we were raised to go out and get our own, so to some it may seem as if he is someone who achieved goals and only wants to date white women, when in reality he just didnt spark their interest at that particular time, and he found a bit more success when he expanded his options
And I do know that some women can only see me for my material possessions and I recognize that, but at the same some see that I would be able to provide for them and I just have to separate the two

Damn that is the 1st time I ever even heard her voice

She sure didn’t want to answer that question!..Bet Usher done made love plenty times in the club!

Funny he would ask her how she felt about in the club. I remember when I first heard it I was wondering how he was adjusting to his new chapter in life singing a song like that…guess not so well….but now, he’s so moved to have his first release on his new album be about signing divorce papers??? Interesting he didn’t feel equally moved when he first got married — instead we got in the club. SMH

@Mark

That post right there speaks to a reality that we all go through both men and women, some peek early and some peek later in life and as we grow and evolve, make more money and establish ourselves we tend to become more confident and maybe thats what was missing all along. Depending what business field you or your brotha are in, schools or courses you took to get where you are white women may have been in abundance or whatever but just going by your latest post it honestly seems as your experiences with women prior to “Getting paid” as you have said weren’t expansive enough for the statement made earlier when you placed the blame on black women intentionally or not…..

No one should get married because when people divorce they act ignorant and never want to let go.

When people divorce it really brings out the child in all parties involved.

I see Uncle E up in here spittin’ the “isms!”

Keep schooling these brothas, Unc!

@enkogkneegro ( Uncle E…if you like )

In a way that is true because most 18-22 year olds who go to school really dont have an adult social life, especially if money is tight, but now that Im 28 and am already established, there is less resistance for myself than for some of my friends who are unemployed, underemployed, but at the same
time, being raised in a single parent home to me being financially secure was a priority, and when I first started working in my field I was making good money, but I was afraid to spend it, so once I got to a position in life where I felt like I should be enjoying the fruits of my labor, I noticed women would start approaching me, as opposed to me approaching them, Its like going from rags to riches (I am in no rich, I plan to be but I aint there yet)and it just you notice the difference cause its like night and day

Tameka played herself by even entertaining the thought of going on air.

Whatever their relationship (or lack thereof) is, I’ve always admired the bigger person that doesn’t choose to air their dirty laundry.

Before Usher, we had no idea who this woman was and for some to say that she was a stylist and had her own money? I don’t think so. Even if she did, there are people with money that does not choose to put their business out there. This interview was a crock! Although she does have a nice speaking voice, she said absolutely nothing substantial. It was just a way to grab some shine.

I think she’s just trying to stay in the public eye when in fact she should fall back and raise her children. Let Usher make all the songs he wants. Everyone knows that’s his steez anyway.

SOMEone should be the bigger person. Even if it’s only for the children’s sake.

I just finished reading a book titled “It’s no secret” by Carmen Bryan. If you don’t know who this young lady is, she is the mother of Naz’s daughter.

I can honestly say that this was by far the least productive 5 1/2 hours I spent in the last 6 months of my life that I will NEVER get back!!!!

Why is it that women that attach themselves to these industry guys have to go and write a tell all when the relationship sours? I say, for whatever reason it didn’t work out, THINK OF YOUR CHILDREN before you’re on air (Tameka) up in the club getting pictures snapped of you in an unflattering position (Tameka–above) or writing a book talking slick about the ex’s next conquest.(Carmen and Supahead)

Do these young women stop to think of the effects their actions will have on their children down the road?

Yea ur right!

Black women and men have a different set of life issues that other non raced people will never understand. Keep running to what is easier instead of working out any issues. The only race of men that are notorious for this are black men. Not all are this way because there are good ones but just not enough.

___________________________________________________
YOU BETTA PREACH SOME MORE!!!!

Why so serious?

@Mark Rich

What some some don’t understand is that when they throw out blanket statements regarding black women like all black women don’t do this, most black women are like that its a negative comment that true enough fit a select few….few. Its no different than the phrase all black men or most black men that a few of the sistas throw around at will up in here daily……My mom, sisters, daughter and nieces are all black women and honestly my response to your post was in defense of them and every other black woman in my life because as a brotha who’s benefited from them supporting me through out my life thru the good and bad I owe them that. I may have gone a bit far with it but I hope you understand why, we can always agree to disagree. No hard feelings brotha, its Friday enjoy and have a good one…….

Can someone tell me what the issue actually is with this woman. I’ve never heard anyone say anything that can make me understand all the hate for her. I really wonder if this goes back to certain black womens hatred for what they see in the mirror. I really have to wonder if she were a few shades lighter would everyone hate her this much?

Oh my, how I do so love to see you bash the wounded. Darling, some of you on here seem like the type that would drown kittens just for the fun of it. Fact of the matter is, you neither know this woman nor the man she was married to, yet you readily degrade her as if she were some kind of horrid beast. Brava to the women on here, way to go sticking up for your own. and as for the “old” comments, youth is fleeting dear and not even the best of surgeons can hold it off for long, so don’t be so smug. I personally think she looks fabulous. And lest you forget, Usher was indeed an adult man when he turned his back on his mother, so let him bare the burden on that one.

I would not give any more interviews, my comments would be “nada”. Been in love before and when its’ over, its’ not pretty no matter how you look at it. Tameka’s heart is broken, she has 2 young babies to care for and Usher is “free” from living in the same house. Notwithstanding, she will rise, be fierce as she was, but for now, no more interviews. Peace & love Tameka.

He asked terrible questions!

…A man/boy will not take on any responsibilities. A true man will love a woman, because he’s mature enough to understand that women are not doormats, but a special being that deserves to be treated with respect and love. So when the narrow minded men/boys come around and think they’ll be able to “use” a single mother…hopefully Tameka will pick up their negative “user” radar and not be bothered.

I do not see why people are constantly calling this woman ugly. She does not look ugly to me at all. Usher is the ugly one for sure.

IMO– When people refer to Tameka as ugly, I don’t think all of them are talking about in the physical sense. I think some may mean her under minding, sneaky ways.

It’s funny that once she was with Usher and the children between them to came along, I always saw pictures of them and not her other children.

It was almost as if they no longer existed.

She look like a transexual whose real name is Leroy!

If Usher and Tameka are both immature. If you don’t want people to judge you about your private life, keep it out of the streets.

Tune in every Friday night at 11pm where the ladies of Tea Time are serving you tea on the latest gossip, celebrity & entertainment news. So tune in & get served boos!

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/TeaTime

she’s beautiful.

She handled herself well considering the juvenile questions that Ryan Cameron usually asks.

Not being mean but Tameka just focus on the children!

Usher is 200% a Mamas boy, he just is, lets face it shes his MANAGER so she has some say in what music is being put out, Papers was probably her idea and she didnt even go to their wedding. its a bad look, she is the one controlling this bad media and press about Tamika, aint nobody stupid. Believe you me, I will bet the older Mrs raymond Patton whateva was all for that divorce and the song being put out about her daughter in law, shes a tough bish, dont sleep on her ass.
