Ursh Shuts Down The Baby Pimpin’
Usher says he’s not even trying to shop around pics of his baby lil Usher Raymond V. He tells Page Six, “In no way would I ever pimp out my child for money.” Daddy and son were already spotted out and about together last month. He also says he’s livid that people are even talking about his child at all. And of course, he goes on about how everyone should respect his wife Tameka because it is who he has chosen to spend his life with:
“I stand by her as a man loving my wife and being there for my child . . . Opinions are like [bleep]holes. Everybody’s got one. What I will say is, this is my wife and I would hope that [people] would respect my wife and my marriage and who I have chosen to spend my life with.”
And what Ursh has to say on people talking ish about him in regards to him possibly fronting as a family man:
“What makes you a man more than being a father to your child? I recognize I gave anonymity away when I became an artist, but to have people try to paint a horrible picture of what’s so beautiful - it’s obvious someone is trying to stop something so beautiful.”
He and Baby Ursh will be featured in the Father’s Day ‘08 issue of Essence magazine.

Truth be told, they will be less likely to attacked by paparazzi trying to get a picture of the unphotographed kid when they choose to set up a planned photo shoot. I don’t know about everyone else, but Brangelina donated all the money they received for pictures of their kid.
Just a thought for those who think it is “kid pimpin” to sale photos..

but still cant stnad his wife, and think he can do better. love is blind and it’ll take over your mind(eve) but when he’s ready to swallow his pride and say he messed up choosin her and had to much pride to say so. im sure his mama, friends and fans will al be forgiving and be grateful only to tameeka for having such a sweet child. on the bright note finally she looks like she smilin for real and aint puttiun effort to keep it on like it will crack her face in 2 to do it

On May 2, 2008 at 4:55 pm | Reply | QuoteHATERS!!!!!I guess you would all be happy if Usher married a light-bright barely legal chick, Tameka is a grown woman (we all know he likey the older women)she is not a video chick, starlett, just a regular chick, and she must be doing something right if a 27 yo superstar waits for your divorce to be final then makes you his wife. As for Chili, she’s beautiful, but can’t keep a man, so she definately doesn’t sound like a good catch to me. The boy looks happy. And besides Tameka is from the Town, we just got game like that no matter what the age, sorry haters

On May 2, 2008 at 4:57 pm | Reply | QuoteKudos to you Usher for blasting all the naysayers. It kills me how black people can find the ugliest things to say about each other. Your wife has been vilified in the Black press and the white blog site have jumped onboard and is also calling her all manner of names. Nobody took the time out to applaud you for marrying a single mother and becoming a father to her previous children and making a home with her so your child will not be another statistic. You deserve any father of the year recognition you receive. May God bless you and your family.

bothers me cuz i watched him grow have been a fan for years and can see him do better. he had countless girlfriends if you can remember all dark skin and none of them were ever made fun of.. usher and his mom were closer that siamese twins now his mother and him dont talk because of this chick and she use to be employed by his mom. just lately you’ve been seeing her smile. maybe bcuz ppl started commenting and dissing her so she finally got the point. when he was with chili no one was mad those anonymous g’s no one knocked him. USHER usually only dates dark girls.love black love but dont think she is it. but if he’s happy im happy for him. but i hope she aint burnin wholes in his pockets and turnin them millions to hundreds

So is he saying his friends Diddy, Chilli, The Beckhams, Will & Jada, etc pimp out their children? People are fans and everyone likes to see babies whether they are famous or not! he’s always so defensive… i know he cathces heat about Tameka but he did wife her, so she must have something extra spicy goin on. I also find it odd that he didnt mention her kids/sons. It’s all about “my son.” Hmmmm. He needs to just be quiet! He always ends up insulting someone, or coming off as self absorbed.

On May 2, 2008 at 8:21 pm | Reply | QuoteAnyways, @ 1st I didn’t like Tameeka and Ush together. I don’t care what any of you ’sophisticated and mature’ people say but when your a fan of somebody, when you’re willing to pay money to see somebody or buy their records..you do get invested in their life. That’s celebreality. So I’ll say it again, at 1st I didn’t like them together. But now, I’m starting to see Tameeka as a regular ghetto chick. Which gives other regular ghetto chicks hope to trapping the Ushers of this world. I’m happy if they happy..
I still think Chilli was sooo much better for him…But then again, who am I to tell the man who to date? But I can damn sho comment on it!

Usher’s whole image has been off lately…..ever since he got with her. Like he’s trying to hard to seem mature …I guess to match her age.
I just hope he realizes that just because he married her and had a baby with her does not mean he it’s a done deal.

Do anyone really think that Tameka would turn down a million for a couple of photos. People really need to get off Tameka’s looks. If Meka want to believe that is why people DON’T like her, let her keep being dullisional. Usher went & took another man’s family. Out of all the women in this world, he went & Jacked someone else family. KARMA IS A BITCH!

WTF?? I give USHER his props because this MAN not only defends his relationship with Tameka, he also DEFENDS TAMEKA and Their Family as a whole. What does it matter what Chilli looks like? Looks have never kept ANY couple together. From many pix that I’ve seen of him in the past he has dated many different women and not ONE of those women have been around since Tameka has stepped into the picture–so clearly he WANTS this woman and he is willing to stand before GOD and vow to love, honor and respect her—– DITTY COULD LEARN ALOT FROM HIM.

Don’t be so quick to generalize ‘Blacks” because you do not know all Blacks, and we all are not “quick to knock each other down” don’t judge all “Blacks” just because of a slew of negative comments on a “Black” blog. They do not represent US ALL.
“Blacks” do not hold the monopoly on “knocking each other down”.

You hit the nail on the head baby!
SD
It’s sounds like you an obsessed fan “you do get invested in their life” I may buy someone’s cd, hell I might even go to their concert and buy a tee shirt or 2, I might even comment about it on a gossip blog site, but I am not ‘invested” in their life that sounds a little too stalk-er-ish, too many grown ass people on this blog are taking Ushers marriage to Tameka way too personally, like they have an added interest in it or something, it’s one thing not agree with or not to be happy with whom he decided to marry but a lot of these comments are soo derogatory and mean and nasty and petty, it’s not called for this is the only way grown people/adults can express how unhappy they are with Ushers choice in a wife?
“But now, I’m starting to see Tameka as a regular ghetto chick.” SD how is Tameka “a regular ghetto chick”? Do you know Tameka personally or are you giving an opinion based only on rumors and half truths and negativity?
Lashanda
I mean really, what is so controversial about Usher defending his marriage and his wife????wtf??
Asea - “So is he saying his friends Diddy, Chilli, The Beckhams, Will & Jada, etc pimp out their children? ” Did Ursher really drop the names of his celebrity “friends” that supposedly “pimped” their babies photos???? Whom did he insult again? I must’ve missed that one, you are reading way to much into the reason HE decided not to “pimp” photos of his and Tameka’s son.
Question
Life is too short to be “bothered” by why some celebrity that you don’t know is married to someone that you don’t know but have deemed not good enough, geeeezzz louise, is there anyone on this blog that personally knows Usher and Tameka?
Is there anyone on this blog that knows exactly for a fact what happened in Tameka’s 1st marriage, Is there anyone on this blog that knows for a fact that Tameka personally came between Usher and his mother? Is there anyone on this blog that knows for a fact what goes on in Mr. & Mrs. Raymond’s marriage? Or is everyone on the bandwagon following rumors, speculation, innuendo, here say, assumptions, etc….? Just wondering. I get that this is a gossip blog but some of these comments are just a little to much.

But let’s be real, none of those gossip mags are looking to put his baby on the cover. The only “black” person who will get the opportunity is Halle, and that’s because she is biracial and american’s sweetheart. I am sure if they offered him some money he would do it around the time his album drops.
