That’s right Usher and Tameka have a new baby boy–baby makes two for Usher. Here’s my favorite picture of him with his first son:

The Raymond household got an early Christmas present as Usher and Tameka welcomed their new baby, Naviyd Ely Raymond, around 2:33 A.M. on Wednesday. The baby weighs in at 5 pounds and 13 ounces, according to Usher’s rep Simone Smalls of Simone Smalls Public Relations. To read more, go to Essence.com.

I finally received my copy of the new Essence magazine in the mail. I just love the cover of Usher and his son. They both are adorable. Check out the interview he did with Hill Harper. You might be surprised at some of his answers. Oh and don’t forget to check out the Do Right Men in this issue too–Lamman Rucker if you’re out there, hit a sister up.

Updated 6/15/09: I’ve been busy writing books but from what I’ve read recently the Usher/Tameka break up is no longer a rumor.

Previous post: Usher has a new CD about to drop and ironically rumors are flying about his marriage being on the outs.

  Extremely reliable sources close to Mr. Raymond himself have confirmed to TheYBF.com that Usher has indeed filed for separation from his wife of only 9 months Tameka Raymond. To read the entire YBF.com article, click here.

Say What? I thought Usher and the former Ms Tameka Foster wedded in the attorney’s office. Well according to UsWeekly,   they are planning an official wedding ceremony this weekend in Atlanta.

Usher and his wife Tameka Foster arrive at the opening of Jermaine Dupri’s Studio 72 in Tucker, Georgia on August 29, 2007.

The rumored event will be more in line with the couple’s original plans for a ceremony and celeb-filled celebration. That gathering at the Hamptons home of record exec L.A. Reid was canceled at the last minute on July 28 in favor of a small private gathering days later on August 3. Guests are rumored to include Jermaine Dupri, Janet Jackson, Ashanti, and Diddy.

We hear that Raymond, 28, and Foster, 36, are holding the party in Atlanta so friends and family will be able to attend easily. SOURCE: US Weekly

Okay, y’all is it really ncecessary to attempt a 3rd wedding. The 1st wedding didn’t happen, the 2nd wedding happened in an attorney’s office…enough already.

Why not have a Labor Day weekend party/celebration party? Why another wedding?  I’m all for love and all, but come on now. Besides, some of y’all know how I feel about the whole thing (Usher Do NOT Wed), but hey if it works for them, who am I to say anything.

P.S. - For someone who supposedly had a pregnancy scare (one of the rumors why the 1st wedding didn’t take place), Ms. Tameka is always out at some event. The average pregnant woman would be relaxing at home…maybe not on complete bed rest; but she wouldn’t be out galloping at all these events either.
