Tameka Raymond Spends Time With Boys After Usher's Damaging Interview

Tameka Raymond seems to be in good spirits, despite losing her appeal for a re-trail in her custody battle and her ex-husband Usher scheduled to tell-all to Oprah about their failed marriage.

Sunday morning, hours before Usher’s interview with Oprah Winfrey was set to air, Tameka shared a photo of her boys with the R&B star, Usher and Naviyd.

“This is the pre-church attitude. Let’s see/hope this changes by the time we leave. LOL. Happy Sunday tweets.♥” Very cute.

For the remainder of the day she remained quiet but a few hours ago she shared more photos from a Falcons game – clearly showing to the interview hasn’t left her angry enough to lash out on Twitter – a contrast from her tweets following the ruling on the custody battle. Honestly, the interview was damaging for Tameka, other than Usher confirming that he once loved her there was nothing else said that showed her in a favorable light. Luckily this is the first and only last time the R&B star will speak on his marriage.

“I wanted to give her the wedding that she wanted. But I wasn’t quite ready… I impregnated this woman, we were in a relationship, we were in love. . . I was taking responsibility,” revealed Usher on his decision to move ahead with the wedding despite a gut feeling against it.

On now being enemies with the mother of his children,

“We don’t see eye-to-eye. The friend that I was to Tameka, I don’t know that I could ever be again, because I really felt like we were friends. She made us enemies in a way that I could never understood. It wasn’t until I was on the stand, where I cried, when I realized, ‘Oh, this is an attack.'”

It’s really sad that relationships can come to this point when children are involved. Naviyd and Usher V beyond adorable – mom and dad need to work it out!

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.
