The Grio did this really great interview with Tameka Raymond about her life after Usher. The piece is so glowing and positive, Tameka couldn't have written a better one herself.
I just have a couple teeny tiny corrections for Tameka's revisionist history...
In the interview Tameka is asked to pinpoint the end of her relationship with Usher.
This is Tameka's response:
“Well, if I had to point to one thing, one time, it would be after the birth of our second son, Naviyd.”
“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.”Sorry but the blog archives clearly show the relationship crumbled waaay before the birth of their second son [click here if you missed that] and if one had to pinpoint the single thing that spelled the demise of their marriage, it would be safe to say it was that time Usher had to cancel his performance at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party because Tameka snuck down to Brazil to have a tummy tuck and went into cardiac arrest [click here if you missed that].
