More in Rumorville With Tracey & Eddie+Dwyane Wade’s Birthday Party+Usher Loses His Father
Sources are still poppin’ off about the Eddie/Tracey split. S2S is reporting:
There are rumors that say Tracey is an opportunist who only sought to use Eddie’s superstar status to further her career as a producer, but sources close to both sides told me they never believed that was true. In fact, we’ve learned that a prenuptial agreement was signed weeks prior to the New Year’s Day wedding. Furthermore, they point out that Tracey has been quite successful for many years in Hollywood with films like “Soul Food” and “Good Luck Chuck” and several hit reality shows like BET’s “College Hill” and “Lil’ Kim: Countdown to Lockdown.” She has been one of The Hollywood Reporter’s 100 Most Successful Women in Entertainment for the last few years. Tracey lives in an $8.5 million house filled with antiques and finery that she bought. She travels all over the world and has a wealthy lifestyle. So the truth of the matter is, she didn’t need Eddie’s money, and Eddie knew that Tracey was a self-made millionaire.
I’m going to go with…this was all a set up for a reality show. Since that is Tracey’s specialty and all.
D-Wade had his b-day party at Miami’s Stoli hotel this weekend:
Tackie-O was there.
So was DJ Clue.
D-Wade Sr. was there.
So no wifey…still? I’m now thoroughly convinced that, just as I reported months ago, Siovaughn took the baby and ran back to Chicago. I have a hunch these two have pretty much bought a house on Splitsville Lane.
And y’all already know Trina sniffed out that chance to perform:
Oh Trina…
Usher’s father, Usher Sr., has reportedly died in Atlanta. Usher doesn’t talk much about whether he and his father had a relationship, but I did come across this 2005 article. Either way, sad news.

Isn’t he the one with the secrets…While she lives in the mansion as described, one coudl HARDLY say that she bought what’s in it as it’s the one she used to share with her husband, Babyface, who paid for what’s in it. So, maybe she bought it, but not with her own dough. In any case, she could buy me 10 times and have change because her money IS long…

On Jan 21, 2008 at 9:09 pm | Reply | QuoteTracey has her own money. Most actors take a “backend approach” no pun intended, on the sales of their movie. They find that they can get more once they get a Oscar or Academy award and the DVD sales also help with thier income. Eddie is a smart business man. As Tracey is also a great business woman. Not sure who makes more money. Tracey did not or should not need his money and a pre nup would have been in the best interest of both parties for the sake of the kids they already have. So did love of greed, protecting assects or family break this union up. Either way. Tracy woke up. Woman don’t need a man to take care of them. But it does help, and vice versa. A man/woman sometimes just want the spot light when it comes to celebrity statis. I do know that I would have chosen a better “eye candy/trophy fiance’ than Eddie. Eddie is still hiding in the “closet” probably afraid of Mel B or Johnny G. Eddie can’t win. Poor him.

On Jan 21, 2008 at 9:33 pm | Reply | QuoteI think that it was a publicity arrangement to help Eddie out in exchange for Tracey’s access to movers and shakers at Disney. However, along the way she realized that she didn’t need him as much as she thought she did (his standing among white folk quickly plummeted as the poster person for deadbeat baby daddy since old Jewish men don’t play that). When he clowned her at her own wedding - with her PARENTS there - she cut her losses and bailed on the arrangement. I don’t blame her.

I never saw what the attraction was anyway between the two of them. Better they split now than later after a child or two. Then again, I wouldn’t want to marry a man who doesn’t acknowledge paternity after it’s been proven. She should have stayed with Kenny.

Tracey Edmonds is not a self made millionaire, she was broke when she met Babyface. She used Babyface to make a come up. I don’t know what she saw in Eddie, I could not marry a man who gets divorced one year have a baby by someone else the next year (and deny the baby as well)then wants to marry someone else the following year. Eddie is just confused.

Pity those unsung efforts are never recognized.

On Jan 22, 2008 at 2:32 pm | Reply | QuoteSince when does marrying a man with boo-coo dollars makes you a self made millionaire? Self made is Oprah. Self made is Diddy. Self made is Jay-Z. Tyra Banks is self-made. Tracey Edmonds ain’t self-made. Neither is Kimora Lee Simmons.
Tracey Edmonds was a video chic for Babyface and the rest is history. Now errbody and they mama know that Eddie Murphy is a switch-hitter…so why marry a man that has a known history of being bi-sexual? Because Tracey is a beard and although she has money of her own why not marry Hollywood’s most successful box office actor and gain his Hollywood connections?
If we all can agree on one thing can’t it just be that this shame farce of a marriage was never based on true love?

I like Kimora, it’s Tracey that doesn’t rub me the right way. Can you imagine if Kimora was in the same position with Amistad and he didn’t claim his child? I could just hear her loud mouth going off, but Tracey nope she supported Eddie. She sold out. She does have her own money, but a lot of it came from Face. Many of her movies are flops.

On Jan 22, 2008 at 10:54 pm | Reply | QuoteJust my 1 and a half cent. The Face was quite a successful songwriter/producer long before he met Tracey. He’s been a much sought after (first) songwriter then producer way before he met Tracey. Tracey and Baby met around the time he started achieving solo artist success which overshadowed his prolific and very lucrative behind the scenes work.
I have no idea if Tracey is indeed a gold-digger, however any successful man or woman, that has amassed a fortune, would be ill-advised not to get marry without a pre-nuptial agreegment or suffer the same fate as Paul McCartney. Not that he’ll miss the 100 million out of his billion dollar fortune he paid to Heather Mills.
What I find strange is how many women who marry very wealthy men say they are not gold-diggers but as soon as they get divorced you see them challenging the pre-nup and you never see them turning down any alimony when freely offered. The only class act I’ve heard do it was Angie Dickinson and Bianca Jagger who went on living wonderful lives.
Maybe Eddie was trying to pull what I like to call a Mick Jagger. Mick is an all-time whoring-pro. Tricked Jerry Hall into an illegal Balanese/Hindu ceremony. They never made it legal but converting to Hinduism or re-marrying in the states, then when she tried to pull the marriage I want half card, turns out they weren’t legally married. Ha. She walked away with 10 million dollars and a boat-load of child-support, so she ain’t starving.

I (vaguely) remember an article in Essence or Ebony or some magazine from years back that was an interview with her when she and Babyface met/were getting married, and she talks about how she met B-face, how she was with her mom and her mother encouraged her to go and give him her number. I have a random memory but does anyone else remember that.
