Usher Raymond Rehashes Custody Battle, Cheating On Oprah's Next Chapter

Usher Raymond will replay his two-year marriage to Tameka Foster, rumors of infidelity, his role as father and the long nasty child custody battle to Oprah Winfrey on Sunday’s Oprah’s Next Chapter. The media mogul set the stage for what will surely be a must-watch interview in the nearly two-minute teaser.

“[Usher] talked about everything. He said that he’s gonna talk to me and then he’s never gonna talk again. [He talked about] his marriage; the fact that his mother didn’t come to the marriage; the fact that he’s now gone through three years of a custody battle; now has primary custody of his own children; about breaking down on the stage in Berlin; what really made him cry on the witness stand; he talks about everything.”

The episode is set to air on September 16th at 9pm. Meanwhile Tameka is fighting to overturn the judge’s ruling of primary custody to Usher accusing her of bias.

Ms. Foster has filed a motion for a new trial because she believed the judge in their case, Superior Court Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane, was biased against her since receiving campaign money from the singer. The 31-year old singer has since filed a request to deny the new trial. The saga continues.

Naviyd and Usher V, hopefully oblivious to the fighting, are enjoying spending more time with their father and their new family. Usher posted new photos with his boys and his longtime girlfriend Grace Miguel and older son. See the photo below.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
