Tameka Raymond Talks About What Broke Up Her Marriage To Usher
Tameka Foster has been getting a bad rep in the media with the upcoming divorce and custody battle from Usher. The mother of Usher’s two sons sat down with the Grio to dish about when the marriage fell apart, life after her divorce, balancing being a single mother while running two businesses.
Here’s an excerpt:
How exactly did things fall apart between the Raymonds, a couple who ignored intense criticism of the union and stood by each other’s side like Bonnie and Clyde?
“Well, if I had to point to one thing, one time, it would be after the birth of our second son, Naviyd,” Tameka said as she contemplated the demise of her relationship. “Until that point, we were a very passionate, very loving couple, but then the pressure of the entertainment industry began to slowly creep in and poison our marriage. There comes a point when as a married man with throngs of adoring female fans, you still have to pretend you’re available, but he wasn’t available… and that began the problems.”
