Tameka Foster’s Tender Birthday Message to Her Ex Usher Makes Fans Say Yeah, She Wants Him Back

Celebrity stylist Tameka Foster sent her ex-husband Usher Raymond a sweet birthday post on social media Sunday evening, but some fans felt she was trying to reshoot her shot at her former flame.

The former “Atlanta Exes” reality star and the “Let It Burn” singer divorced in 2009, but the two still remain friends and co-parents despite their relationship woes. The 47-year-old shared a video collage with photos of her and her ex-hubby’s old times together. She included a lengthy Instagram post and wished Raymond a special “happy birthday.”

“@Usher you always said you wanted to know me when ‘we were in rockers, laughing on a porch’. Welp buddy you’re half way there 🤦🏾‍♀️,” Foster wrote. “We have endured good times, fat times😂, bad brows, goofy moments, funny assed memories, sad ones, happy days, pissed hours and many mad months. Through it all… I’m grateful for our Family dynamic and my funny, beautiful, smart, charismatic boys! Welcome to the 40s old man, love you like cooked food Ush Boogie! 👵🏾.” She added, “Always, Your ‘Best Mistake’ 17 years and Counting 💋🤣😂✨✨✨ #TurnUpPops #Lifer #MeetTheCoParents.”

Foster’s semi-romantic social post had fans wondering if she missed the “You Got it Bad” singer or possibly still had feelings for him.

One fan wrote, “Look more like something you would post for your man.. but it was still nice, I guess.”

Another added, “Ya’ll must be back together.”

A third fan commented, “These are old pics of her fantasizing about what WAS and its sickening. Usher hasn’t said a word neitger did he do this for her bday. This is inappropriate ; especially after such a messy divorce.”

Foster shot back at people who questioned her birthday post and wrote, “He was my husband… and is my friend and kids father. Nothing to boggle your mind about.”

The reality star and Raymond wedded in 2007 and divorced just two years later. The two share two sons together.

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.
