Quote of the Day
Posted by Bossip Staff
Usher talks about his former lifestyle, his mom, and Tameka in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly:
”I was going out night to night, having a different woman in my bed every time I chose, and I began to wonder: Am I really being a playa or am I a whore?”
”I was exposed to the lifestyle of a young, fly A&R who was the man in New York. He took me to clubs. I was around women. It was like swagger camp. I said, So this is what I do when I finally make it…. But you have to be very careful about what you allow your kids to be around or see. I’m a product of the environment.”
‘I was just looking for good times. In the club. Not living right. This woman. That woman. Uncertain. Unsure…. But there does come a time when you start thinking, Who’s gonna love me and take care of me when I’m down? Who’s gonna care about making sure that I’m okay? I need a companion. Damn.”
”I understand the whole thing about the drama between me and my mother,” he concedes. ”To be honest with you, we had a very one-sided relationship, and for obvious reasons: She had to make the majority of the sacrifices; otherwise we didn’t go forward…. I’m pretty sure that my mother would want to forever manage me. She’ll always be my partner. But I feel like I’m at a point where I wanna grow, be able to handle my business firsthand, and understand every facet of it. Also, on the other side is the fact that you get the stigma of being too sheltered. So now I make the move to go out as a man and stand on my own, and it’s bad?”

YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SO SAD,WHY DO YOU FEEL SO HAPPY.YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LONELY,WHY IS SOMEONE KEEPING YOU COMPANY.
Diddy wants everyone to be male whores like his ass.cause he’s the one that would take Usher and lil Bow wow to get they cocks sucked when they were 14 and 15 year old babies .And throwing coochie in the faces of little boys is a jacked up thing to do this is why Usher married a motherly figure and Bow Wow has his own issues too.
l like ursher but he is a bitch and he is soft. That Tameka chick is waaaaack!
Well it’s great that you want to grow. But pray that you’re kid don’t get Tameka’s attitude towards people.
YES IT WAS PUFFY WHO HELPED RUINED THIS KID. Everybody knows the your A&R guy Usher is talking about is Puffy. Damn, I didn’t know he helped mess up Bow Wow. But I could tell his little ass had issues too. We all do.
Diddy is a male whore. he does’nt respect women. Now that he has three girls. I wonder if he would want his daughters to date a man ( boy) like him.
Isn’t it funny that Usher always mentions the many women he has been around and not the many men? Trust me, fu*king lots of females was not all that Diddy introduced Usher to! Let’s think about it, Diddy may have introduced Usher to these things,
but by the time Usher got old enough to actually do this stuff on his own, Diddy was nowhere near him. So yes Usher you are/were a hoe…but don’t keep blaming all of this on Diddy. Diddy has worked with a lot of young artists and they are not all whored out. Diddy can only introduce you to the lifestyle but you have the choice whether to follow it or not. I don’t think Usher’s mother was being over protctive. She was his manger and knew what it took to keep his career on top. Now look at how Tameka is stating to fu*k up his career. Usher claims that he took a stand as a man but all he really did was went and got an older female who is worse than a mother.

Why does someone discriminate black? I don’t think love is just belongs to white. I’m a black and but my hubby is white. We met at +(((+ I n t i m a t e m i n g l e. c o m +))+which tell us love is color blind. Our love proved this. I hope each one will not discriminate blacks.
That was a great read. I can’t imagine being a celebrity and having my relationship on blast all the time. I know they choose to ignore it, but when every magazine and blog is dogging the person you chose to love, I’d want to beat folks down myself. My advice to Usher is know who you are, once you do you wouldn’t care what people had to say. I know it’s hard to ignore the BS, but from now on keep your lips sealed, don’t talk about your relationship and just make music.
It is what it is. Congrats that he grew up and found his niche…but I agree with the rest NEXT!!!
If he likes it I love it.
poor usher am so proud of you for airing your dirty laundry and for calling yourself a whore..lets clap really really hard for the special statement you made
That all sounds cool to me but was his mother picking the tracks for his album and the singles releases too? Because that Love in the Club is Usher’s first sucky single release and mama didn’t have anything to do with it.
It’s like he went from one mother to another. tameka is a mom to him too. she controls that relationship.
I honestly like him and Tameka together (despite the fact that she was a homebreaker). That surprises me to feel that way. Anyway, I do wonder why he did NOT see a lasting companion with Chilli? It looked like they loved each other to me. IDK

I am glad usher spoke out about the hateful comments against his wife. These personal attacks are unecessary and cruel. Regardless of how she looks, or her age it is his choice. No one should be criticized and personally attacked for marrying the woman who gave birth to his first child.
His relationship with Chili is his business and no one elses. Looks are deceiving if the relationship did not work out it is for a reason. Just because Usher is a celebrity, the public has no right to judge, criticize, or personally attack his choice in a mate.
sounds like his mind was on the “need to mature track”, but that tameka decision looks like he rushed into things.
At least he doesn’t date just supermodel types! I believe he is deeper than that! Good luck to them both, I hope they make it!
As far as Diddy, he is just plain gross. A male whore.
I watched Usher grow up in his career and I’m sure he’s been sheltered by his mother and overly exposed to things by Diddy. I’m sure he has many difficult issues. But I will give him credit for wanting to grow up and figure out things on his own to become the type of man he can be satisfied with and proud of. Even though that is just life and we all go through that, I wish him all the luck in the world. Because it ain’t easy, but it is possible.
who gives a shit
usher is a f*g
somebody needs to tell him that his father didnt choose drugs over him, addiction is a disease…he has obvious issues from this..
Usher is right.
He did the right thing and married the mother of his child (thank God he did’nt copy that I-make-babies-but-dont-marry-their-mom-thing that Diddy is famous for). A woman that allready has kids. He is a good man. And it’s a nice to see black love. First I was sceptical too, but he’s right. The black community should stop hating on her.
Why does someone discriminate black? I don’t think love is just belongs to white. I’m a black and but my hubby is white. We met at +(((+ I n t i m a t e m i n g l e. c o m ++)))which tell us love is color blind. Our love proved this. I hope each one will not discriminate blacks.
I would like to thank +(((+ I n t i m a t e m i n g l e. c o m +)))+for bringing a very close friend from 17 years ago. I never had the chance to express how I really felt. I had always watched her from afar, but due to Mutual friends it wouldn’t be right, but now we are planning to meet for new years eve. We have exchanged dozens of e-mails and phone calls. She now knows how I felt for her 17 years ago, And our future is as bright as ever.
USHER ALL U DOIN IS WHAT MOST HOE ASS NIGGA DO BEFORE THE ALBUN DROPS START CONFESSION BOUT SOME BULL SHIT TO SELL YOUR ALBUM,HOE CARES HOW MANY TIMES YOU GONNA KEEP TALKIN BOUT THIS IN THE CLUB SHIT,YOU LETTING JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE BEAT YOU ASS WITHOUT THE CHEAP SCANDELS,ME PERSONALY I THINK COMMINGG FROM GA,AND JUSTIN FROM THE SOUTH YALL BOTH GAY CONFESS THAT HOMO ASS NIGGA

@ Celibate riddles
USHER ALL U DOIN IS WHAT MOST HOE ASS NIGGA DO BEFORE THE ALBUN DROPS START CONFESSION BOUT SOME BULL SHIT TO SELL YOUR ALBUM,
———————————————-
And you know what? It works just look at his last album. And we are all sure that he’s talking about Diddy taking him all over the place. There must be some truth to it as so many of his artist keep leaving his label and other folks limit their interaction with him.
he’s learning and growing, might as well wish him well.
I guess this is his long ass explanation to why looks don’t matter.
CERTIFIED BANGER. this is the TRUE heir to the King Of Pop’s throne. chris brown can only dream of being this fly. and timberfake? please, he’s not even an issue. Usher is a Superstar. not to mention one sexy ass son-of-a-bitch. haters, do what you do best.
Thinking of Usher’s comment about him and his wife getting busy to baby msking music… and well…it’s about all I can DAMN DO to keep my food down. *dry heaving*
Wow, I like what he wrote. He is a man who has grown to be a business, husband, and father.
what a joke! someone just PSed his pictures to hot ones and then uploaded to the famous dating site~((((~ I n t i m a t e m i n g l e . c o m ~))))~, a site for interracial romance, interracial relationship… so he is said to seek an extramarital relationship with a white model there! lol
I just got through reading the interview and listening to Usher’s New CD. The man is def in a place of realness and true love. He is on top of his game, his life and I commend him all the way. My favorite track so far is His Mistakes. Usher God bless you and your union. Haters will be plenty but God is love and he has shined on you once again in the midst of the devil and his workers.
Usher you have my blessings
You have to forgive the wrongs of the past in order to move on to your future
Then what ever you dream of is yours
because it never left
everyones heart is fragile and
made of glass and it can break
Hate is a strong word but my heart is with you wishing you all the best
may god bless you choices
Well usher you can’t fuck your mother so you had to fuck someone that looks and act’s like your mother. I saw his commerial for his show on b.e.t. and he made want to hurl at him at the thought of him gyrating like he was doing and I all pictured was his wife and was like ewwww. It’s better to heard not seen.
If I can recall didn’t he put out this same sob story when he was with chilli talking about being a whore then finding someone he really had feelings for and blah blah? Yeh it has all been said before and that whole thing about handling his own business was a bunch of crap. His mom being his manager is what brought all those album sales and good marketing. Let’s see how this album does now that he’s handling his own cause it has already gotten bad reviews.
but one thing i have to add
stop disrespecting your god dam mother
some people are orphans and never had a chance to say hello and would give anything to see their parents or be told i love you and be overportective and your trying to tell her goodbye through your wife’s mouth
Usher that just aint right as long as your with women like tameka you can control to do your awful biding you have so much more to learn in this world about repsect
i am sure if i did beat you over the head with a bat i’ll get your mother’s blessings
Good luck to Usher and Tameka. I’m loving the CD! I am not into his personal life, because it has nothing to do with me.
I like Usher
they need to do a movie on the early days of Motown
Ersher has some interesting tennis shoes
No one really knows what goes on behind closed doors. Just what we see and read in the media. If he is happy who are we to judge him and his family.
okay what is the difference between a playa and a whore? don’t they both share the same meaning? There is no difference between the two…one is just a synonym of the other….
high five for usher he starting to mature he got rid of chili’s golddigger ass
I am glad he settled down
1st off on dis vid…..ewwww and Usher shud leave Tameka’s worthless ass and Flav needs to settle down with his baby mother cuz ppl tired of his ass
usher wife is old ass hell ugly too.He should have stayed with chilli or just stayed single.And he had a baby by this ugly ass bitch they baby probaby ugly look who he got for a momma .SHE IS UGLY ASS HELL.USHER YOU CAN DO BETTER
