Usher Runs Home To Momma!
Filed under: Usher
Usher wedding was derailed by one woman, his mother - Jonetta Patton.
The singer has been estranged from his mom for a while now, since he and his shady fiancee ten years his senior, Tameka Foster, have been together.
The singer is said to have flown back to Atlanta on Sunday to apologize to his mom and try to make amends, the New York Daily News is reporting.
"The reason he called off the ceremony is that he couldn't go through with it without Jonetta," one insider tells the paper. "He had an eleventh-hour epiphany."
The nuptials appeared to be going full-steam ahead late last week. After some negotiation, Foster had signed a prenuptial agreement, according to people close to the singer. "Usher conceded to some of her terms," said one source.
On Thursday night, he had his bachelor party. But, on Friday, "he started having second thoughts again," said a source. "He was obviously troubled that Jonetta wasn't coming."
For weeks, it had been unclear whether there was a wedding hall big enough to hold Patton and Foster, who've long been at odds. Last week, sources said, Foster agreed that Patton could come to the wedding - but, by then, Patton had resolved to stay in Atlanta.
"Usher woke up on Saturday and said he couldn't go through with it," said a source. "Apparently, he also couldn't bring himself to call all the people who were invited. He had the wedding planner call everyone in the wedding party."
The word also went out to stunned guests who were about to board a shuttle bus from a nearby inn to the Sagaponack estate of Island Def Jam chief Antonio (L.A.) Reid. Foster was furious: "She was marching around, cursing," said a source.
Also factoring into the crisis was a National Enquirer story alleging that Foster had served time for petty crimes and had once dated a drug dealer killed in an ambush.
The story quoted Foster's half-sister, Valencia Foster, as saying, "Poor Usher has no idea who he's marrying."
For a decade Usher and his mom were inseparable. She functioned as his manager and traveled with him.
All that changed when Foster entered the picture!
Shortly before Mother's Day this year, Usher announced that his mom, who had guided him toward superstardom, would no longer be his manager. He denied that Foster planned to take over the role Patton once held.
Not only is Foster ten years older than Usher, but she's also a divorced mother of three and had at one point worked as Usher's stylist - only to be forced out by his wise manager-mother, who knew better.
Once she became Usher's gal pal, she began to have confrontations with several of his longtime friends and handlers.
It is unknown if Foster flew with Usher to Atlanta or if they even remain a couple.

whats hapend??
ooh! i was first
Juicy!
Tell us now!
yawn
First
Arhg! Usher is pathetic! and he is NOT hot. Repeat NOT HOT!
huh? what was the point of that?
9th!
he is still around, I am 9th hukrs
SHUSH-HER!!!
I can marry him, just not to waste the cake and the cerimony…
someday, i will be first.
what a useless post. Sort it out, tubby.
Who cares!
Grow some balls & cut the apron strings!
What were the rumours that she'd done jail time? N.B. Use lots of "allegedlys" in your post to avoid slander….
so you think she is SKETCHY
I can't read an article so full of stupid names.
If you name your kid Tameka, you pretty much put the upper limit of their success at crack whore.
I don't see why the fact she is ten years older is a biggie!
Poor Usher. He sounds confused init.
x
i am glad he chose to listen to his mother. good women aren't easy to find and any woman who is willing to come between a son and his mother isn't a woman you want to marry. his mother was there from day one. without her usher wouldn't be the success he is today. there isn't a person on this planet who loves him more or wants the world for him like she does. wait, wait and i am sure he will find the right (non gold digging, family tearing hoe) woman.
ps: i have a single cousin n she's a great cook, lol!
Usher, you are not a momma's boy, just a man who's doing the right thing. don't be blindly led by what seems to be love (from someone married 5 years)
Usher finally came to his senses.
To Agnacious…. What kind of name is that. Tameka is a common name . Dummy.
What happened you ask???? Usher is a spineless Momma's boy!!! Its so simple! Glad I didnt marry no spineless whimp like Usher!
WHAT I WANNA KNOW IS IF THIS SO-CALLED WEDDING IS EVER GOING TO TAKE PLACE? OTHER SITES HAVE ALSO REPORTED RUMORS ABOUT THIS…WELL ONE THING WE DO KNOW IS THAT THE CEREMONY WAS CANCELLED THIS WKND..OH WELL IF IT HAPPENS GOOD FOR THEN AND IF IT DOESNT'T OH WELL..QUITE FRANKLY BY THE LOOKS OF IT..THEIR MARRIAGE MIGHT NOT EVEN LAST..BUT THEN AGAIN WHAT ELSE IS NEW IN THE PATHETIC WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT!
Thought you would find this interesting.
They are pathetic. I can't stand Usher. What a mama's boy. And she's just looking for a suga-daddy. And what is with the registries at Crate & Barrel and Williams Sonoma? Are they real? They can't be real… that would be way too tacky.
Good for HIM!!! He saw that she was a gold digger. Anyone who comes into your life and immediately separates you from your parents and friends CANNOT be trusted. He did the right thing.
usher should wear more blue…
usher looks FINE in the blue…
Every dude should have an "eleventh-hour epiphany” before marrying a pregnant, drug dealer's former moll, jail bird, dragging her 3 other children behind her, who is also 10 years older than you.
.
ESPECIALLY when those who know her the best, HER OWN SISTER Valencia Foster, warns you by publicly proclaiming “Poor Usher has no idea who he’s marrying.”
.
Looks like Usher sobered up just in time to see clearly.
it wasn't meant to be
JUAD
I'm glad he called it off…I'm not a big fan of Usher, but I always thought that chick was a little off….very shady indeed
Poor Usher!! He thinks he has to stoop down to the Britney Spears tactics. All this publicity to sell albums?? I hope this new lady in his life is going to give him good material to write about because the bitch is hideous!!!
Speaking of pathetic! You "bloggers" need to go back to school instead of spending your day writing Perez, etc. You couldn't spell s–t if it was on your upper lip!
I hate that Foster bitch sooo much. Usher's mom saw right through that old hag!!!! She's only after his money and now he finally realizes that. Never diss your mother, she will be your mom forever, but girlfriends come and go. Good luck Usher!!!
Mama's boy….my ass! He had to what was right in his heart! He knew deep inside his heart…that maneka is no good for him! I know that MAN BEAST was walking around cursing…she was aaaaaaah closer to being a rich woman..without having a lick of talent! And farther more…i don't think that this was a waste of space….NOW that picture of that TRANNY..that was a waste of space!
If MAN BEAST was so smart, she would be rich herself…YOu cannot come into someone's life, and run their shit..like that! MOMS have that effect on their sons! It's like Daughters, and teir fathers…ALL OF YOUR POSTERS…GET REAL
Word on the street in Atlanta, where Usher is from, is that Tameka went into pre-term labor.
@35
DAMNNN can you kindly back up from licking my girl britney's ass!
she isn't the first to go through problems..get your shit together!
Word on the street in Atlanta is that Tameka went into pre-term labor here.
^^^If that is true…GOD knows what he is doing….It wasn't meant for someone that evil..to bring a innocent life into this world!!
actually, i heard tameka was in the hospital in atlanta having her baby super-early. anyone feel bad now??
TAMEKA THE COUGAR, WHEN YOUR OWN SISTER DISSES YOU, YOU KNOW SHE MUST BE A PIECE OF SHIT!!!

NOPE
.
It's party hearty time and we are all chowing down on their wedding cake that never got served. We are still waiting to see if we can get our hands on all that food the caterer prepared.
.
Usher is now on cloud 9, looks like he may not have to pay any child support after all. YO Usher, check the DNA of the fetus, odds are you are NOT the father.
mama's boy
he's jewish?
@ryan
NO! we don't feel bad….Maybe for him..because it was his 1st, but not for this bitch! SHE IS PURE EVIL!
Baby Mama Jonetta..is serving drinks right now..as we type!
Hey, if it's okay for Ashton to marry middle aged, then why not Usher?
i feel that these celebrities need to sit and really think about what they are doing. For example sit and ask yourself what is my life in the next 10 to 20 yrs from now that matters and anything without God is nothing. Usher stick by your mother that saying mother knows best is true its good that you were man enough to say the words im sorry you made a mistake and corrected it. Find someone that you know that you can deal with till death due u part stick to the Bilble teaching and theres no way you can go wrong. Your mom should forgive you knowing that sometimes young adults can be blind of reality thats right in front of them. Usher do the right thing hope you see this message Spirit. People think little of Mobile AL. but you have tons of fans that really support your music. Usher go forward and have no set backs. Have a good day or night what ever the setting is when you see this. SPIRIT
Good God Usher wake up. I have not followed this story, but reading this I can see the bull that this Tameka has been putting out. What kind of old devorcee with 3 kids get knock up. Boy was he stupid. This chick mess worked because the first thing she did was get rid of his family and friends The OLDEST TRICK in the book. Dammn Mannnnnn.
usher is a dog and an ass for firing his mother! she gives him life and brings him to stardom, takes care of him, and he fires her?! he should marry the bitch and have karma follow him. i have no respect for people who dis their parent's like garbage!
Usher should trust his guttttt….
And remember mama always KNOWS BEST…..she will never give her son bad advice…..this MANEKA woman seems shady!
I'm so glad that Usher cancel the wedding.. He shouldn't marry that bitch…maybe the spell she but on him has finally worn off!
I wouldn't want to be Valencia for nothing in the world. When Tameka gets hold of her….
I love Uzer zo much…and he iz zo zmart no to get married…♥
lets see how long it takes for his mothers new low-life, scum bag, theiven boyfriend to be found out!!!!
Besides the other stuff, you need to leave the age thing alone. It means NOTHING and is beyond tired.
I don't know, but this story seems a little shady. However, thinking about a shady background is a little too late….Usher is a grown up. Now, the couple should be setting aside their own ???? and think about what is in the interest of the child. If the mother does not get it, she is no better than the drug dealer Ushers girlfriend was dating. The child is being conceived and you have a couple of selfish adults running around…what does that say about the whole family?
USHER HAVE TO UNDERSTAND MOTHER'S KNOWS BEST! TAKE HEED TO A WISE WOMEN (MOMMY)! I WISH HIM ALL THE BEST WITH SOMEONE ELSE! RUN USHER RUN!
This is what he gets for leaving Chilli the way that he did back in the day and then using that experience for his CD Confessions.
What goes around comes back around! Karma is a BITCH!
whew!
Talk about dodging a bullet!
Good call, Usher.
DOESN'T HE UNDESTAND THAT SHE'S NOT 4 HIM………..FOSTER IS REALLY A MAN!….(i'm am the best rumor starter alive…lol)
Usher rushed home to suck dick.
I don't believe any of it. It's a ploy to sell his new album. Just like the rumor that some woman was pregnant with his baby which is why he and Chilli supposedly broke up, hence, Confessions. Now here's another ploy. Now this woman is supposedly pregnant, they are suppose to get married, they call off the wedding and now there will be no baby! He's all drama!!!
hey theres only one mama n millions of hoooos she ain't going to be the only one
nice name, Jonetta
Cut the apron strings!
She's a gold digger, and usher should not walk but run. Not only is she old but she is drama, he is way too young to be married. His focus should be on the baby if it even it's his, i doubt it though since she already has 3 other kids. He got lucky this time to not have been pushed into marriage witha n old gold digging fart
Bottom line is, Usher is going to seriously regret this down the road. He stabbed his own Mother in the back because of this broad. Now I know that girlfriends don't always get along with their boyfriend's Mothers but that girl seriously disrespected Usher's Mother..and he had the nerve to let it happen and to let it get worse. Karma is a bitch. And boy is he gonna pay. First for f****** around on Chili…but this is (I can't even put in on a scale) much much worse. And no…I never thought Usher was all that..I give him props because he is talented…but he always had a big (very unattractive) ego.
And eventhough from what I heard, he got her to sign a prenup, I'm sure that this girl is going to find a way to really take him to the bank and completely screw him over. Doesn't he remember that saying…Ginuwine said it best in "What's So Different"…those famous lines…."if you cheated on him you'll do it me". Now I'm not saying she's gonna cheat on him, but she did cheat and eventually left her husband and three children behind basically running down Usher's money. And looking at this chicks past..if he ever trys to hold out money on her…he might find himself shot up in a car somewhere.
I've always told my son (now 18) that girls will come and go, friends will come and go, but we will always be his parents. I may not always LIKE him, but I ALWAYS love him and have his best interest at heart.
This statement is unbelievable!
"Not only is Foster ten years older than Usher…"
Puhleeeeeeeeeeeeze! Nobody even blinks an eye when the genders are reversed. James Wood is 60 freaking years old and is engaged to a 21 year old! Anna-Nicole Smith married a 90-some odd year old geezer on his death bed when she was 26 years old! Michael Douglas robbed the cradle with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Donald Trump's comb-over hair is older than his wife!
This is 2007 people. Time to get REAL and knock this double standard shit OFF!
LMAO!!!.. a post about a black guy will obviously be followed by comments full of spelling mistakes… I wonder why?.. "miss LiL J" jus try n 2" could you repeat that please?…lol
Poor Usher! I think he's confused. He's still young! Hang in there, child. But if you want an old woman. I'm here.
I'M GLAD THAT USHER FOUND OUT WHO'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN HIS LIFE. EVEN THOUGH HE WAITED TIL THE LAST MINUTE TO FIGURE IT OUT. "YOUR MOTHER IS JUST LIKE YOUR CHILD, SHE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT. WIFES COMES SOMETIMES THEY LEAVE, BUT YOUR MOTHER WILL ALWAYS BE THERE. AS FAR AS, TAMEKA, IF SHE REALLY LOVES USHER SHE'LL MAKE AMENDS WITH HIS MOTHER, BECAUSE AS SHE CAN SEE USHER COMES AS A PACKAGE DEAL, SHE CAN EITHER TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. NOW I DON'T THINK MS. TAMEKA'S CRIMINAL HISTORY IS NON OF THE WORLD'S BUSINESS. IF USHER GOING TO PUT A LIMIT OF HIS LOVE FOR HER BECAUSE OF HER CRIMINAL RECORD, THEN IN REALITY HE DON'T REALLY LOVE HER. IN A MARRIAGE YOU TAKE VOWS AND I'M QUITE SURE HE KNOWS THE VOWS ALREADY. SO FOR USHER TO EVEN CONSIDER MARRYING TAMEKA, THEN HER CRIMINAL HISTORY AS WELL AS HER PAST LIFE IS NO PROBLEM TO USHER. IN LIFE YOU WILL LEARN TO LIVE, LOVE AND LET GO.
