Usher Resurfaces After Former Stepson Kile Glover's Funeral

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Usher Raymond was seen for the first time since his former stepson, 11-year old Kile Glover was laid to rest in Atlanta on Friday. It was not clear if Usher attended the funeral but it was wildly believed that he offered his ex-wife Tameka Foster his private plane to fly to the side of her son.

Earlier this month the 11-year old was in a tragic jet ski accident that left him brain dead. Kile remained on life support for two weeks until his parents Tameka and TV executive Ryan Glover made the decision to remove him off life support.

Tameka was seen at the funeral with her and Usher’s boys, Usher V and Navyid. The R&B singer was not pictured at the funeral but was spotted in Los Angeles over the weekend looking relaxed with jean shorts, long sleeve shirt and blue loafers. Usher was seen leaving with his girlfriend (?) Grace on his motorcycle. On Monday he was seen again leaving a Whole Foods on his motorcycle.

It is unclear how Tameka and Usher will move forward with their child custody battle. After Kile’s accident it was reported that Usher relinquished his right as a parent and offered his ex-wife primary custody, however the papers may not have been signed.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
