Fatherly Advice
Posted by Bossip Staff
Usher and son Usher the Fifth are the headliners in the newest issue of Essence. He opens up about why it’s extra important for him to be a good father:
HARPER: Your father wasn’t around to raise you. How do you plan to be different for your son than your father was for you?
USHER: Just simply being there. I don’t judge my father because I forgave him for anything he’d ever done to hurt me unintentionally. My father and I had a very short amount of time together throughout my entire life, but the most valuable time was during his final days. He asked me to forgive him for not being there. He asked me to give him a chance, give him a shot because he loved me, and he had always loved me. But it was very difficult for him to be in the situation he was in and be the example he wanted me to follow. So he intentionally stayed away. And he was kept away from me too. He didn’t like it, but he didn’t fight it because he knew he wasn’t living right.
HARPER: What would you say to young men and women about what they should expect from a man who’s a father? What is living right as a father? How do you define that? How would that man look?
USHER: That man would accept his responsibilities as a father, regardless of whether he was with the mother of the child. Men will leave a situation for several reasons. One, it’s not comfortable. It may be violent. The two of you may grow apart. But you should never abandon that responsibility, which is to be there, reading with your child, being supportive of your child’s growth. That is communicating. That is making the choice to put your child before your own vanity.
HARPER: If you could take your finger and touch your 9-month-old son, Usher V, on the head and impart some certain knowledge, what would you want him to know?
USHER: First of all, I’d actually look inside myself and evaluate what I felt like I missed from my own father.
HARPER: What did you miss?
USHER: Knowing that I was accepted. That I mattered. And hearing that he cared enough to put me before himself.
Kudos to Usher. We gotta respect the guy for his approach towards fatherhood. Tameka hit the triple jack pot with this one.

The baby looks adorable
Next I dont like usher
AWWWWWWWW, that is sooooo cute!!!!!!
That baby is too adorable. is that a real Essence photo or did someone photoshop tha word Essence on it? hmm
okay that kid is too cute!! they should have him on the cover of every other major magazine too.
baby is a doll! i can relate to usher’s relationship with his dad so its nice he’s trying to be different…
That baby is soooo cute! He makes me want one……..
* Oh hell naw, what am I thinking? *
I could just kiss that baby!!!!
Usher nix the Britney Spears back up dancer and you may have a shot to save your album. Were you kidding bringing her on your Blueprint show on BET. Simple solutions can fix major problems..No more Diddy cameos either. Oh yeah and try a lead chick that has the complexion of your wife for once. Re-release your album as a deluxe and add some of that vintage Usher that sexy vintage Usher.
(insert) Reggie Bush doesn’t even look fine anymore.
What an absolutely gorgeous little man!!!!! I can’t believe how many people were ready to throw this cute little baby to the lions all because his mama doesn’t fit their standard of beauty…he is absolutely adorable and looks like both mom and dad.
Cute baby!
ohhhhhh!!! what a cutie pie!!!
Changing the game…you think you are soooo slick. lmao
Almost forgot to comment his relationship with dad. This is why Usher is doing well and will continue to do well. Letting go the anger and hurt brought on by his father was probably one of the best things he could do to help himself. Say what you want but at least he isn’t going down the drug addicted, promiscuous, deadbeat baby daddy route. How could you not like this cat?
He really is adorable, I could just kiss those cheeks! I love the pic of him playing with is feet on Ushers chest so cute!!!

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww the baby is soooo cute..Usher doesnt come off arrogant in this snippet of an interview, i’m impressed!
Good Morning!
Awwwwe, those pictuers and Lil Ursh are absolutely adorable!!! ALMOST makes me want to have another baby!
ugh that baby is sooo cute its sickening….dang usher good job
damn, he has the best damage control rep out here
The baby is a cutie pie! Good answers for once Usher I am proud of you. Good questions Hill. A man’s intelligence is so sexy to me.
He is such a cutie!! I love the way Usher has been protecting him from the media and all that ugly baby momma/wife controversy. Its hard enough to have to hear that the world thinks your wife is unattractive, especially if you love her, which he obviously does. But as a parent, i know that if hurts even deeper if people make negative comments about your child and i think he was just trying to be that protective daddy. Which he has nothing to worry about because anybody that says this baby ain’t cute is obviously blind or just plain hatin!
damn, whos his damage control rep, shes making some dollars this week… bree i agree this part of the interview brings back memoirs of the old Usher
@ ma dee
hes cute but not that cute…,
the cutest pic of the baby i seen so far AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!
ok, i admit it…the kid is cute…but why usher got that lil smirk on his face in the last pic? he looks just like a punk ready to snap his fingers lol
What do black fathers know about parenting? They abandon kids in droves! Give me a break!
Usher’s baby is soooo cute.
Good morning everyone!
@You KIdding? lol.ain’t it pathetic? But Usher is not one of those BM………
I read the interview, and I think Usher says some good things. I just hope he can continue to live up to his relationship with his wife and be there for his child. He talks as if he is in control of his destiny, which only GOD is. Maybe his ego was doing a little talking for him. Besides that, the baby is a beautiful baby. Usher no matter what anybody says, keep loving your wife and I hope your wife will not let the negative get to her. I understand why she has a attitude, It would be hard to trust anybody not knowing where the negative comments are coming from. Job well done and I hope this marriage last a long long time.
I don’t think Usher is very smart when it comes to investing his money. I hope he does a better job of protecting his money. I don’t want to see him broke in ten years. And it can happen. A few bad investments here and a few cars and houses there. Ask Micheal Jackson.
You men that have babies out there really need to get involved in your children’s lives if you’re not with your childs’ mother…
When I was a freshman in college I took a psychology cl***** that had me work at a daycare center… (*My sisters were having children at the time and I wanted to learn about children so that I could be a good uncle) Basically to make a long story short there was this little kid that followed me around A LOT from day 1 – the first day that I started working there and on… I didn’t know what was up with that and since I didn’t know anything about children I didn’t think anything of it other than he thought I was cool or something like that…
The next week the teacher took me aside and let me know that everyday after I left the little boy cried and so I was like why? Then she told me it was because I looked like his father and since his parents were separated his father wasn’t really in his life and he missed him dearly
Yo, that sh#t broke my heart and I felt so bad for the child… And so, it was then that I learned how important it is for fathers to stay involved in their children’s lives whether they’re with the mother or not!
They don’t have to DNA this cutie. He looks like his dad. The ears are a perfect match.
D original, I agree with you, Great story. If only these men would get the picture. And the women, ex girlfriends, and all would get it. Kids need parents. Even if it’s not the real Mother and Father. Kids need to feel wanted and love and as Usher said, they need to feel they matter.
The baby is cute extremely cute, but he doesn’t look like either parent at the moment. They picture is priceless
that baby is too cute..usher stand up and be proud..that kid id going to have a real good life whit his dad there loving him his hole life..and that pic was beuteful..usher has get what fatherhood is all about
That baby is too cute w/ that lil ‘but’ chin. Aw!
@Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators
That is the saddest thing ever…that poor baby. My heart just sanked after reading that. I hope his father realized the err in his ways and went back to be a father to that baby. I can speak from experience because for my son’s first 5 years of his life, his dad was incognito. And honestly, i could’ve done my part to make sure they had a relationship. but of course, you know us women, we have to be strong and independent and stubborn. I had to realize that this was not about me, it was about him needing to know who he was and where he came from. Its never about the parents. You have to put the kids wants/needs first. And it does make a difference having both parents involved. It took a while for me to learn that, but i did and for that i feel blessed.
How could you not forgive Ben Vereen?!
~*Awww Usher’s little man is so adorable*~
That baby boy is beautiful
THAT’S A BEAUTIFUL BABY, GORGEOUS, USHER IS A GREAT FATHER, WE NEED MORE BLACK MEN LIKE THIS IN THE WORLD..
I love this picture! That is too cute!!!!!
It’s so nice to see more black fathers stepping up and being a part of their children’s life. I’m sure Usher will be a great father to that little cutie pie.
fIRST …. yoU KIDDING U SHOULD JUST KILL URSELF U IGNORANT PIECE OF ***** ..
USHER CONGRATS ON BEING A WONDERFUL ROLE MODEL FOR UR SON N OTHER BLACK MEN .. ***** MEN PERIOD
Slide like a Fresh Pair of Gators the thing is that there are certain men who think that ***** is funny! You seem to have comp*****ion but some men are just cold.
All children need both parents and for guys who don’t think they can handle that,there are condoms available for free at any Department of Health site.Usher did the right thing forgiving his father because holding grudges affects all other aspects of your life.
What a beattiful baby and beautiful family. It is so nice to see a happy family.
for all the HATERS on here the other day… tell me that child is not GORGEOUS!!!! OMG he is too cuuuuuuuuute…
those beautiful bright eyes, litte nose, pouty mouth, that chin, I just want to eat him up…
@Bella & Kesha
Yeah the teacher told the childs’ parents and then the father started to get involved…
I’m happy all the parties involved (the teacher & both parents) took the situation seriously and did the right thing and what they were supposed to do…
So soon after the mother came in and met with me (just to say Hi) and was like yep, he looks like him…
And then a few days later the father dropped by too… But you know the funny thing about it was when I met the father I was like (*in my head) “Man, I don’t look nothing like you”… But you know what the child didn’t think so and that was what was important…
It was a little much being that I was 18, but to be honest with you that was one of the best lessons in birth control I ever learned… You “best believe” I kept my joint wrapped up after that…
*I apologize for the little joke at the end but I’m just being me…
That baby is too cute. But why Usher got him holding his ankles already?
the thing is that there are certain men who think that ***** is funny! ….. but some men are just cold.
____________________________________________________
@realwoman
I don’t know about men thinking it’s “funny” but I think it’s just that they are “immature” and don’t want to “man up” and handle the situation as they properly should…
And you can’t even say that it’s men that didn’t have fathers in their lives because I know and am familiar with a few situations where the men who are “abandoning” their children did have their fathers in their own lives…
All boils down to “maturity” and “doing the right thing”…
WRONG is WRONG
THAT BABY LOOKS ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS!
Usher’s son is gorgeous, so precious.
Cutie pie baby. Usher do your thang. If you want your album sells to pick up, go back to the original Usher. America likes sexy music wit a nice hook.
Nawww SlideLikeAFreshPairofGators…I meant there are some men who’d go back and laugh about that little situation with their boys and make light of it, which is immature. You took it as a lesson and actually felt bad about it. Nice to see that you have a heart..
Awwwwww!

that baby is truly adorable….
@Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators
I FELT A TEAR FORM AFTER READING THAT…SO SAD
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I knew haters was out in full-swing. Yall hoes had no problem complimenting Usher BEFORE he hooked up with Ms Tameka. He looks better than that punk *****, tight jeans wearing showoff, *****less little Chris Brown *****E ***** *****ES!!!!!
Tameka looks better than all u nasty *****es, with your weaves all jacked up, stomachs hanging out like pig fat, havent cleaned your houses, living somewhere in Section 8.
Aaaahhhh. That baby is PRECIOUS
The baby is precious!!!!
This picture reminds me of my brother and my nephew when he was just born! WE have that exact same picture! I almost cried! Sorry Yall!
i dont’ believe in putting your child before yourself
@Usher
Do yo ***** dawg!! Don’t worry bout them “crabs-in-a-bucket” *****s or them “Wilma Lynches” (women that don’t know they role and hatin)
You number 1 in the R&B game right now.
I DON’T LIKE USHER EITHER—–> NEXT!!!!
Damn “D”…thats a sad belief
That baby is adorable! Look at those cheeks and eyes! For his mom to be that beastly looking he is sooo cute and daddy use to be cute but then he grew up sooooo…yeahhhh…still an adorable little man
GOOD MORNING CORPERATE & INFAMOUS
I SEE IGNORANCE HAS RE-APPEARED TODAY ON THE BLOG. NEVER THE LESS, THE TOPIC OF THIS THREAD IS USHER. THAT BABY IS SO ADORABLE!! LOOK AT THOSE CHEEKS AND THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES. HE IS PRECIOUS.
@sky is my limit
If you look at what D said in another way:
If your not healthy and well provided for your child won’t be. Putting yourself first to means you take care of yourself so your child can benefit.
Gorgeous picture!!!!! I wish Usher and his family the best!!!!
What a cutie patootie!!
that babii took all of tamekas features…even the chin
Why is it that USHER looks so sexy to me now…He is so damn handsome; I guess that’s what Fatherhood does when you are doing a good job at it! The baby is so A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Lucy
I can respect that if thats what was meant, but your child should come first by any means..your child is ur number one priority.
The baby is just beautiful!
On Nas: I agree with his feelings for Messy Jessy but to believe that we now have the David Banner’s and Young Jeezy’s?!?!?! It’s no way I will look up to them fools to lead me. How could he possibly put them in the same conversation and sentence with Barack Obama?!?!?! And to think Kanye and Wayne….omg!!…Neither of them saved hip hop by the way and I always have liked Nas but these comments sound idiotic!!
HEY SEXY
AND D
WHAT A *****! U SHOULD HAVE A VASECETOMY RIGHT NOW
That child actually looks like he may be good looking but why the hell is his eyes so damn big? i know babies are supposed to grow into their heads but the child looks like the omen character
@Slide Like A Fresh Pair….
That was a sad story. But at least there was a lesson learned from it. For all of the men that abandon their child(ren), I blame these DUMB ***** women too! Some woman know exactly what kind of men they aredealing with, but yet they wanna have his child in order to “hold him.” That’s the dumbest ***** ever! I swear, I’m glad I don’t have any kids right now. But most of all if i do decide I want me and my partner to both want to procreate as well as BOTH of us being financially responsible for that new life. These days there is no excuse for women being stupid enough to get pregnant for some DUMMY unless you are financially responsible and wanted to do it on your own, which in a way may still hurt the child because children can’t help but want to know their father.
wonderful piece/peace…kudos to usher…beautiful baby….
but why in the heck does usher AND that lil baby have on sweater outfits….it has been hot since april.
that brown sweater get up on a lil baby in the middle of the summer makes me itch.
I can’t stand Usher but that baby is ADORABLE!
Baby is cute.He has ears like usher. and eyes like tameka. That enough usher take a break from media. It getting old. I am tired of hearing.
Good for Usher. Black Fathers Stand Up!!
how can a woman as ugly as tameka foster give birth such an adorable baby? wow! i could eat this baby up with kisses and hugs. usher isn’t very attractive either. so, they truly lucked out with this cutie pie. Usher’s comments sound wonderful on paper, let’s hope he lives up to them
@Slide like a Fresh Pair of Gators
That story nearly brought tears to my eyes!
I’m glad you were able to take a valuable lesson from that experience. Hopefully more men will have the opportunities to see the significance of being there for a child.
what a gorgoeous little boy!
That first pic is just beautiful!
I’ll be the first to say that I don’t really care for Usher but there is nothing like seeing a man holding his child. Too all the no goods take note.
Speaking of birth control…does anyone watch “Baby Borrowers” where 5 teen couples spend time with babies, toddlers…
Very interesting…check it out if you haven’t watched it…I think it comes on Wednesday @8, NBC
The baby is gorgeous and Usher’s love for his son is the admirable…..He will be an excellent father to his SON because he knows first hand how it feels to grow up without a father…..
Fatherhood is one thing that most black men are the worst at and it separates us from other races….
Peace
@ Afiya
Yup, saw it for the first time last nite on WE. Very informative. I think more teens should have to watch this, if they can’t actually experience it.
It is no accident that the black community has not progressed as far as it should had by now. It is mainly because the men are not raising their own children.It not just men in the hood that neglect their children. I know women that have children with men with professional jobs who only want to write a check.
Fathers need to know that being there for their children is also a protection. Many children are sexually abuse because predators see fatherless children as easier prey. My brother just told me that he was abused by older boys in our neighborhood. I remember my brother like most boys love to play sports and looked up to these older boys as mentors in turn they took advantage of him. I wonder if our father had been there to teach is own son sports could this have happen.
Absentee fathers please consider that when you are not in your childs life that you have no ideal what kind of abuse your children are dealing with.
hi afiya(HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY)
THEY BABY IS SOOOOO CUTE!! OMG! HE IS ADORABLE. URSH IS LOOKING A LIL GAY BUT LITTLE USHER IS TOO CUTE. As for what he is saying I agree. Parents need to know what role they play in their children’s lives and how much their presence matters. That quality time is very important.
@Afiya
I do plan to watch it.They did the same experiment at my daughter’s school when she was 16-you took a “living doll” home and took care of it as if it was your baby.This thing would cry,wet diapers,everything!After 2 days,my daughter couldn’t take it anymore and I found it in the bottom of the closet-She said”Ma,I don’t know why these young girls want babies,they’re too much work!I went to that school and thanked the prin*****l and her teacher because it was the best education for her-Now she knows a baby is work and not just something to play with.
Now, that is some CUTENESS…I can’t get over those GIGANTIC eyes…and his little mouth and toes!!!
Hey CRAZY WOMAN (MsSW)
@Cat Eyes…yea, I saw some teens with doll-babies…and I’m so glad your daughter got to experience what it’s like…this experiment should be used a every middle-high school in the nation…being parents ain’t a game!!
I got this Essence issue in the mail yesterday and I love the pics of Usher and his baby. I want to eat the baby up. He is just beautiful.
@Afiya
Amen to that!lol
@Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators (fka Keepin’ It Real – D’Original)

That baby is precious and so damn cute! Go Usher! Keep up the good work.
CUTE PIC! U cant hate on man taking care of his seeds.
….and this is for all yall hatas from the previous article a couple of days ago…
Now that’s a beautiful baby. He is truly blessed.
African American men are probably fine fathers, on average, when they choose to be involved parents. The poor examples seem to have something in common with poor fathers of every race: they’re stunted emotionally, and they place too much emphasis on their “masculinity,” defined in a way that defends their shortcomings. So a “man” as they esteem him, is violent, unfeeling, ungenerous, and nihilistic. Good luck getting decent dads out of that soup!
I don’t see how the very large numbers of black men who are very poor fathers are ever going to be better ones until black culture, or at least this subset, is dismantled. Some new entity needs to take its place and become the authority that validates or invalidates the values of the crowd. It can start by dethroning the definition of fashionable manhood among black men as violent, heedless, etc. It should be a mark of almost unbearable shame to abandon one’s children. A functioning culture has the leverage over individual behavior to make it just that. Ours does not. How much good is it doing us, then? (Even as a purely defensive action against racism, the culture still lacks a way to check our inherent dysfunctions, which exposes us to self-created risks.)
There’s an interesting aspect to Usher’s photos that very few people here have remarked on: the tenderness between father and son. Fathering is a quality, a tone in a relationship, as much as it is a quantity (a rate of hours put in with the child X the formative years of the child’s life = success). In my opinion, that’s what’s most often missing in the way less able black fathers parent their kids. Usher seems unguarded and open with his son, which frees his son to be open and secure with his father, and get on happily with the business of being a baby, which is to discover the world in safe, loving surroundings. I think the art direction on the photo (most likely as directed by a woman) underscores the importance of that tone by idealizing it.
I noticed the same tenderness in photos this week of Barak Obama with his oldest daughter. He looked to have an easy, long-established emotional intimacy with her, and the strength and confidence in her face seemed to bear out the richness of the relationship for them both. Her father is there not just to discipline her, but to give of his heart, to love her with the sweetness and kindness the word implies. But then Barak Obama is very much Black Man 2.0, isn’t he? He is not one of us in the strict sense. He’s the child of a different culture, an exotic one, even though we live beside it every day.
It’s probably pointless to insist that black men be better fathers. At least until we’ve accepted the need for them to be different kind of men, and a different way of being black.
Slides…. Good morning … you had me crackin up at work last night about your trip to Cabrini Greens.. you said ” get me the f8ck out of here” f*ck your brotha… i was rolling .. and that ish about in trees and signals and shot-outs with popo is so true… they tore the greens down but the folks just move elsewhere!
Mz prettylady… i have an internet crush on slides too… but its all good we can both have a crush, hes cool people!
how can a woman as ugly as tameka foster give birth such an adorable baby?

@claroliza
Sis, now you know you ain’t right for that…
And I’m wrong for laughing at that comment too…
Who cares…
IMHO 99.9% of all babies are cute… It’s not how you start out, it’s how you end up.
I’m just in a feisty mood…. Make me want to slap a skunk.
@Scooby Dubious
Lover your post.
Part of the problem is that the black culture takes on “extremes.” If the white guy is “tough” a black man has to be “tougher.” If a white woman is “independent” than a black woman needs to be “more independent.”
You are right about the change in culture because we don’t have value for “strong families,” “education” and “carreers.” Men in particular that acheive or strive for these things are consistently labeled “gay,” “weak,” “soft”etc. This is a “conditioning” introduced to the black community particularly in the 70’s and grew rapidly in the 80’s.
In any “capitalistic” society there needs to be a upper and lower cl*****. That’s the only way it works. Blacks have been conditioned to “strive” for the lower cl***** to not be considered “soft.”
I blame these DUMB ***** women too! Some woman know exactly what kind of men they are dealing with
___________________________________________________
@Whoa
You know what I’ve spoken on that to (in the past on here), but I decided to go in a different direction today…
I appreciate the fact that Usher decided to go to a Black Publication in order show pics of his son, ’cause he could of easily gone to one of those other magazines….
I also like this theme that some of our influential Brothas (i.e., 1st Bill Cosby, Obama, Usher, etc…) are “going in” on with respects to speaking to the Brothas on being their for their children and being good fathers…
Honestly though, we as a Black Family need to “redefine” Black masculinity (and femininity too, but one thing at a time)… i.e., we need to get rid of the mentality (via music videos) that having all of this different women & girlfriends at the same time is cool, education is cool – especially considering the fact that the average career for somebody who makes it to the NFL is 3 years & only 1 in 5 million kids will make it into the NBA (*the stat is something like that, don’t quote me on it)…
@ MS NYTX : Heyyyyy pretty mami!
Hopefully more men will have the opportunities to see the significance of being there for a child.
_________________________________________________
@Malaika
Thank you…
I hope so too, but unfortunately I don’t think they (some Brothas) understand how important the role of a father is and how the “lack” of one can negatively affect their child…
No matter what a woman says (“I’m his mother & father”), boys need “positive” male role models IN their lives…
People have been giving him a hard time but he seem to be wonderful father to me & they have also been giving Tameka a hard time. I appreciate how he stick in there with his family. And I love the fact that she is a black woman. We need more relationships like this one. Black men have the tendency to start forgetting where they came from.
Cute kid, Awesome Album!
Notice the lack of black males in this post?? If it were a black male/Becky post (aka Kim K or Coco) or a thread bashing sistas, it would be FULL of the ignorant ***** male posters up in here telling us how much better Becky looks and acts than us…
… But the minute it’s a discussion that NEEDS to be had about the black male and what he’s not doing right or the role he plays in the demise of his race – HE’S NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!!!
If this were a Kim K post it would have 2000 posts in it by now – but his babies can’t get the time of day!!!
SMDH!!
you seem smart and I alwaya like your comments!

Thank You and I’m truly flattered…
But, I need for you to “hang in there with me” when you see me act a fool, say something kinda ignorant and/or off the wall – ’cause I be playing on here… I don’t say stuff to rile people up but I’m kinda honest and straightforward with my opinions or at least that’s what I think — that’s why my previous moniker was “Keepin’ It Real – D’Original”
Thanks again, stay cute and stay out of trouble…
I got a “cyber crush” on you too, by the way = If you show me “love” I’ma show you “love” too…
i have an internet crush on slides too… hes cool people!

Thank You!!!
But hold on, what happened between you and “Jamal the Exec” don’t tell me he wasn’t treating you right?
Oh yeah, by the way – I like how the other day when I asked you what attracted you to a man the first thing out your mouth was a number of solid qualities that revolved around a man’s character and not “shallow” stuff… *You gotta talk to some of your Sistas about that (and your “taking care of your self” regime too)…
iTS QUiTE SAD THAT BEFORE WE EVEN SAW PiCS OF THiS GORGEOUS BABY WE TALKED ***** ABOUT HiM JUST BECAUSE OF HOW THE MOTHER OF THE BABY LOOKED. AND iM SAYiNG “WE” iN GENERAL. iM TALKiNG ABOUT ANYONE WHO SAiD THAT BABY WAS GONNA BE “UGLY” OR WHAT NOT. WHEN ACTUALLY HE iS ADORABLE AND GON BE A LiL HEARTBREAKER ! LOL. BUT ANYWAY iTS ABOUT TiME USHER START TALKiN LiKE HE USED TO ! THEE iNTELLiGENT TALKiNG HE USED TO DO AND NOT ARROGANT TALKiNG HE WAS DOiN LATELY. MUCH LOVE TO USHER…..HE’S STARTinG TO WiN BACK MY LOVE i HAD COMPLETELY LOST FOR HiM.
@smdh
Well I was at lunch but I ain’t running from no topic
@sliddin
Much respect. You been statin the truth for a second up in here.
“People have been giving him a hard time but he seem to be wonderful father to me & they have also been giving Tameka a hard time. I appreciate how he stick in there with his family. And I love the fact that she is a black woman. We need more relationships like this one. Black men have the tendency to start forgetting where they came from.”
AMEN – and I believe thats why black males dislike Usher so much now – cause he’s everything they SHOULD be!! Usher is everything a GOOD BLACK MAN should be.. He’s making it rain on these bitter ***** clowns out here today bashing black women for not being light enough when their true issueis being taken to court for child support that they can’t or won’t pay like that ignorant n!gger ***** wanna be CRAPPER – Young Berg aka Mr Dark Butts.. Yeah, his babby momma put is funky coon ***** out there on the front page of MediaTakeOut, and I knew it!! I KNEW it was gonna come to p***** that this was some bitter ***** *****ing n!gger running his mouth!!
Black males always wanna bash sistas over making them take care of THEIR child financial responsibilities as if his monkey ***** should just be able to makae a child and walk the ***** away… And it KILLS me when its n!ggers with money!! It KILLS be when its a coon who doesn’t mind spending his money on bling and *****es but doesn’t want to use to for his babies…
SMDH!!!

@ CAT
I DID THE TAKE HOME DOLL THING WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND DID THE SAME THING YOUR DAUGHTER DID…PUT IT IN MY CLOSET..THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST TAKE HOME *****IGNMENTS I REMEMBER DOING THAT STICKS WITH ME TO THIS DAY
100% AGREE WITH SDMH BUT COULD YOU PLEASE LET UP ON THE N****R, THANKS!!!!!!!!!
Slides…. Jamal the exec was out of town for a while.. he just got back and he emailed me to feel me in, we are cool even though he is putting up his application, we are still cool, he has a twin brother that met me in chicago and i still cant believe he knew who i was from the internet. but yeah i have tried but some women feel hey dont tell me so i dont.. i got 1 niece in chi who listens and she calls me all the time to ask me what she should use onher skin and etc, but no i dont like phoney men who feel they have to hit on every women on earth, makes me a little suspect, admiring beauty is one thing but can you put your money where your mouth is if not get the hell on! thatsb how i feel about some of these dudes… but of course not you b/c you seem to be very well grounded…but you are my friend and so is Jamal…. he got the six pack going on .. his picture is on mediatake.com under 9black exec)… but you still had me laughing about your cabrini green experience LOL!!!!
Slides… Jaml came on here and somebody jacked his name and started commenting me and it wasnt him, kinda creepy so he said … f*ck Bossip if they let that go on… plus he is not the kind that gets on all day.. he comments and moves on !!!!
That baby is so cute. It is so refreshing to see a rich and famous black man with a dark-skinned black wife produce dark-skinned baby. Now that is rare in 2008.
Slides…. im of today and its my pedicure and mani day so im off for that weekly body scrub…. you have a good week-end and ill talk with you monday probably…. got a good weekend planned!!!!!
Beautiful picture. I like to see a man being a man.
WOW this kid is SO damn CUTE it’s ridiculous!! SO CUTE!!…usher was a cute baby too though..
He looks quite a bit like tameka but ain’t no denyin this his baby too..
This is absolutely beautiful!!
It’s rather sad that even a picture of Usher with his cute baby STILL brings out the hate for Tameka. The baby actually has her big pretty eyes which takes up most of his face…and yet there are still dummies calling his mama ugly even though HE IS CUTE AND LOOKS ALOT LIKE HER. Admit it..your hate for her really has very little to do with her actually being ugly…yall about to give yourselves away!
but can you put your money where your mouth is

Yeah, I like that statement because unfortunately some women don’t examine a man’s character by watching him OVER TIME to see if “his actions match his words”… And if you see that things aren’t “adding up”, you (the woman) needs to leave him alone…
I understand some women may want some “thug loving” and/or have want to have sex with the “pretty boy”, etc… Cool do your thing – it’s your life and you have to deal with the consequences but at the same time women need to protect themselves not from just H#V/A#ds & the other S#Ds but also from having an unwanted pregnancy…
Women have over 10 different types of contraceptives available to them…
*I’m not placing the sole blame on the women, but I’m just saying…
I feel as though some women choose to ignore the signs that the man that they are messing with is a straight up loser and does many things to show (*via his consistent actions) that he would not be a good father OR husband…
Signs of a loser = consistently lies to you, only time or is early is when he is going to get some coochie, untrustworthy, irresponsible, immature, STILL involved in illegal activities (*it’s 2008, look at the dudes that sold dr#gs in the past – look at them now), smoke too much weed,…. hold on erase that last one, I know many a weed head that are good people…
That baby is adorable! Congrats to Usher for finding it in his heart to forgive his Father. Forgiveness is truly a blessing.
im of today and its my pedicure and mani day so im off for that weekly body scrub

That’s right girl… Just cuz you outta town don’t mean that you should get all lax and stop doing your regular lady regimine… Then when you go back to the Chi all your peoples is gonna be gasping and laughing behind your back, talkin’ ’bout “I don’t know what happened her, and I don’t know what she was doing down in Arizona – she fell off, and she used to be soo cute… At least her braids are still tight”.
I was busy working today, I saw you looking for me…
slides.. i just called my lady who does my spa routine and she said she cant take me for a couple of hours, (so angry), oh well what the heck ,, i can wait for that treatment, im taking my own body scrub hope she dont get angry. Its 1:3o here so ill go in at 3:30, but yeah it is best to match the person with the actions, and when i get back to chi… those haters will be smiling and back stabbing like haters always do! I hate those smiling back stabbers i would rather for them to stay away form me !
slides.. i was like (peeping in and like anyone seen slides) and leaving out…i slid around until i found you… i wont be ignored… (smile) thats just my joke line from fatal attraction!!!!lol!
Awwww… The baby IS cute! Lol I wasn’t quite sure a few days ago but these pics prove it! Such innocence! Makes me want a baby!! LoL…
parenthood is something else isnt it? Its funny cuz my birthday just p*****ed, and people keep calling me to wish me a happy birthday. Yet I called my mom to wish her a “happy giving birthday”
Cant wait to be a good father when that opportunity arises…
Usher gave birth not Tameka manly a$$
aww the baby is sooo cute aww
doesn’t this cl*****fy as pimping his son- exactly what he said he wouldn’t do? what did they offer more money? “rolls eyes”.
baby is cut though.. can see the nose looming through though…
yep he’s a cutie
Usher are not excluded. But Usher yearned to escape. Rolls was of light; the other was of that pic.
Thats a cute picture!
I wonder if there are any pictures in the magazine of all three of them together? Hmmm, I might check that out, I’ve never really seen a good picture of her, but I’m sure there is one…somewhere?.
Living baby doll…Cleft chin?
Jessica Alba’s baby pixs sold for 1.5 m.
There is no possible way anyone can call this little one unattractive! I’ve never been a fan of Ushers–could care less about Tameka but even if I wanted to (which I don’t) I couldn’t find anything ugly to say about his little man.
I’m kind of glad that Usher waited to have him photographed and when he did, he did it in this fashion.
Still not a fan but kudos to you Usher!
To all you bitter *****es that continuously try me–
Don’t!
Not today!!!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The baby is cute but got ears like a grown ***** man.
Awwww, not that baby is just TOO cute. I love his big ole eyes, and especially the pic where his foot is on his daddy’s shoulders. You can tell he had mad love for his baby boy. Go’on Usher.
God bless them. That baby is adorable. Usher has blossomed into a real family, admirable.
Twins!!! I’m lovin it!
This baby is sooooooo adorable.
Wow! Cuite Pie, The cutest baby I ever seen!
Wow, what a cutie, the cuest baby I ever seen!
AWWWWW!! HIS SON IS SOOO CUTE!! I WANNA EAT HIM UP!! lol
baby looks exactly like his mom—adorable!!
wish tameka was in the pics too, but i guess they had to do damage control from those terrible haters!!
denzel, barack, sam and ush—loving their black wives and kids!!
That baby looks surprised. Now we have the entire cast of “the gods must be crazy pt.3″ That baby looks ______ . But as everyone says, Aaaawwww what a cutie.
babies cute but usher is homosexual and I want him to come out
Both father & son are precious. I hope that Usher & his wife stay commited to eachother & their entire family. Don’t be overcome by this world.
This baby is too cute. I love his big ole eyes.
the baby is a cutie pie, looks just like his daddy
That baby is adorable and very lucky. Congrats Usher on the adorable baby and for being mature enought to forgive your dad. Forgive is an easy word to spell but a hard word to live.
Cute baby…
