Usher Fires His Mom As His Manager

Posted by Brian

Usher And Mom

You can’t fire your mom on the week of Mother’s Day!! Now what kind of gift can he get her? Usher confirmed yesterday that his mother is no longer managing his career like she has since he was a teen. He says they remain on great terms, but he wanted his mother to just be his mother and not his manager. Yeah, right!

It has been reported that Usher’s mom, Jonetta Patton, does not like his fiancee Tameka Foster and Usher becoming engaged she did not agree with. Tameka has four kids and was only divorced in the last couple of months.

Some also believe that Usher is pissed that his mom is dating a guy that is 36 and she is 50.

Not sure what the real reason is, but changing up your manager when you have been as successful as Usher, seems weird. The saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” comes to mind. It seems pretty believable that there is some dislike between his mom and fiancee that led to this. How long before his mom sues him for a couple of millions dollars in money she was not paid?

    After reading all of the negative, hatred comments on this site, and some of the magazines. I have come to the conclusion that some of us are just plain evil. It takes a corrupte mind, uneducated, ignorant, living without hopes, and jealous fools to be commenting on people’s life without knowing them personally. Even when you do know themthere are limits, and restrictions in how far you should go. Being a celebrity does not give no one the right to judge that person as much as some of you as done to Usher’s whife, and his private life. And I’ll say this the same way some of you have stated that you were looking for the “gun” and his wedding picture to see if his wife had pointed it to his head, the same way he did not ask none of you, nor did he point a gun at you to purchase his albums, to follow him on his tour, or to even like him as an artist. Some of you needs to extend your brain just a little, imagine how painfull it is for him to have to read some of the evil comments that you all are making towards the woman he loves. I have tears in my eyes when I think how they must feel when knowing the same people that loves him so much, and chose him to be among one of the best black artist in our lifetime those are the same people who are acking his heart just because you don’t like te woman he marries. Usher can’t do everybody he can only pick one, and one woman only. As far as her not being pretty,nor attractive to some of you keep in mind that people said that about you too. Not everyone in this life is going to find you attractive accept for the ones who loves you, and that’s all that matters. Please I beg all of you give them a break. Be happy, be proud that at least we have ONE Brother that did not let fame, exposure abandon us black woman. Also I don’t quiet seems to understand this. We black woman often complains about how, and when black man reach up the ladder they always want, or marry a white female. NOW we have two lovely black people who has bring back the hope, passion, beauty of a Black woman, and all we can do is hurting them. WE as black people I don’t care how much, and how hard some of us will try to gain respect from other ethnicities, all will always be waisted. Why? Simply because of some of us that are lack of schooling, manners, morals, and characters. Imagine when other ethnicities are reading those comments, or magazine, and see how we’re treating Ms. Tamika you may not have relaized it but you are just keeling the black race more, more. Before I go I want to live you with this comment” When you hate someone for what ever reason it’s ususally because you hate yourself” those who loves themselves always want the best for others.

    I don’t know what to say about you fireing your mom cause i don’t know why you did it. But I guess you think that it was right. I hope you remain faithfull to your family and that you’ll remain happy. Keep up the good work.
