Daddy Dearest
Posted by Bossip Staff
Usher and son Usher V are on the cover of the Essence Magazine, August 2008 issue. Here’s what the proud papa has to say about fatherhood:
“He’s gonna admire me, he’s gonna look up to me. He’s gonna say, ‘I wanna be’ or he should say - ‘I wanna be like my father.”
When asked about his marriage to Tameka, Usher responds, “They think that it was forced. I’ve heard a lot of comments like, “Oh, she trapped him.” “He got a baby by her, and then she’s married and she’s set for life. No. She wasn’t pregnant when I asked her to marry me. There’s some sort of huge conspiracy over this, the fact that I made these choices in my life. No I grew older. As a man, I have to take responsibility and take a hold of my life. I’m accountable for what happens to my life now.”
Not for nothing but fatherhood looks good on ole Usher - but it’s rather amusing how buddy boy is constantly justifying his marriage to Tameka. Interesting indeed…

Cute baby…somethin’ like a lil munckin man
I HATE IJM!!!
FIRST
nevermind…..haha
They look so cute. But honestly I am tired of hearing about Ursh and his marriage like he is the only one to ever get married. N*gga please. Personally I don’t care if she trapped you off or not. That is between the two of you. But why are you constantly talking about it? Some sort of guilty conscience?
STOp Lying Nikki U
YOU LUV ME!!
he don’t look like usher to me, he look more like tameka’s other kids, weird since they have a different father.hmmm
He’s constantly talking about it because folks keep bringing it up…it’s on BOSSIP weekly…
Awwwww, thats really cute!!!!!
Ahhh…that little boy is too handsome….
He is adorable ! ! !
He keeps justifying his marriage because he keeps getting questioned about it…duh.

…….i guess, they couldve put BUDGET TIPS, SAVE MONEY ON GROCERIES, GAS, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH SOMEWHERE ELSE…its blocking the baby
He says she wasn’t pregnant, but he keeps talking about being responsible..”It was the responsible thing to do??” What?? ENOUGH ALREADY!!! And how about everybody pressing for pics of the baby and he simply does a shoot for Essence! LOL..Now that’s funny..Couldn’t have been for the money..LOL
Usher so full of himself he gets on my nerves .. thats good to put a hat on this baby it deflects some of that not so cuteness
He’s a lot cuter then I expected
Cute baby, but Ursh, as far as your “marriage”, NOBODY believes you, YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE!
I don’t think he’s justifying his marriage by discussing it when asked/paid to do so. And shouldn’t marriage and parenthood go together? I understand it doesn’t work that way for everyone, but sheesh. Just let them be.
And the baby is too cute! Making me want one!!!!
So, is that the stylish way to hold your baby…
You could literally cut and paste little man in or out of the pic and it wouldn’t make a difference.
And yeah, Essence used way too much text on the cover. And the pointless teaser that covers the little boy…borderline disrespectful.
Look at all the “exclusives” for white babies in other mags…it’s likely that wouldn’t happen…
The baby is adorable. As far as Usher the artists, I could care less with the scrappish album he put out and all the talk about his marriage. It don’t matter what people ask cause the media will always do that. See all the questions and rumors they do about Halle and her man, Bey and Jay. Those people just ignore it and keep it moving. Usher always contradict himself which is why people keep asking him because in another interview he said she was pregnant and people should be happy that he manned up and stuff. Either way whether pregnant or not that woman was still married while with Usher anyways which is why people call her triflin.
Awwwwww da baby so crute!!!! he look like a lil man…lol
IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT ANYONE HAS TO SAY ABOUT USHER AND HIS MATE, NO ONE CAN DENY THAT THIS CHILD IS JUST AS CUTE AS HE WANTS TO BE, WITH HIS LIL’ GRANDPA HAT ON. HIS CHEEKS ARE SO PLUMP. HE IS REALLY ADORABLE.
Essence must not have gotten the memo that people are tired of Usher. Not even pics of his precious little man are enough to make me read yet another article on him.
i prefer it is a fake news as well as some magazines said he kept
dating beautiful women from the famous affairs site ^ukblackfriends. co m ^^^^
in the past weeks. Good luck,
Usher’s face look weird, or is it just me?
AAAAWWWWWWHHHH Dem look so cute, that kid looks just like oh Ursh! Ursher don’t worry about these damn people just keep doing you and your wife!
@NIKKIU: What up baby girl?

Awww, look at da baby. So cute.
KZZ!!! its me ERM…how chu dern?
@SxyQ: Morning 2 ya! hope you had a good Holiday!
Ditto what you said, people are going to always have their opinions regardless but in life you have to do what’s best for you, Damn the “JUDGEMENTS” but yeah da baby does look adorable wanna just kiss dem cheeks!
ursher still make music that make you bounce but i think he need to sit down somewhere. someone told me his cd was wack. im not that big of a fan so idk
Usher looks handsome and his son is adorable-
who cares if he and tameka are genuinely in love or happy if he says so, why should we doubt him…

@SxyQ: Yes hun you stil have more summer 4 that! it flew by anyway! and tell me why these people know I just got back in here and err’body and they momma have something they wanna say or want to see pics, or just plain getting on my damn NERVES! the look I gave this 1 lady she shouldn’t want to bother me for the rest of the day!
the lil boy is cute but suspect. i’m sure the test has already been done though. the only thing that keeps usher relevant is his controversial marriage. therefore, he speaks on it every chance he gets. he needs his mama back.
Y’all get on my nerves up in here. How many celebs are married and deflect questions about their spouses and kids. A lot of these people I didn’t even know had kids because they keep their personal business just that, personal. To me,and this is just mho, I think Ursh is trying to rub it in someone’s face that he is married and miser..i mean happy. No one cares. Ursh, your album flopped, your dancing isn’t up to par and you are so cocky and arrogant that it is making you lame. You aren’t much to look at either. So put a fork in it…I am claiming it here today @9:27am on 7/8/08…Ursh is DONE!!
yes its priceless, ima put a pic up so you can see just how silly I am..i got glasses and buck teef, but I can still get it
@ Kzz my weekend was nice….still waiting for you to pass that dutch.
@ SxyQ it is okay! The baby is cute…we’ll let you slide this time!!
You gotta love the babies.. Cant stand Ursh no more though I bought one of his cds though and that was Confessions…
WOW @ i’m just me…thats just what i was thinking..hahahha SKADOOSH he done
Usher needs to stop trying so hard to justify what goes on between him and TaMANka- I mean Tameka
AHAHHAHHAHAHAH @ official timehater..TaMANka…pure comedy
Yes …why do you feel the need to constantly defend your marriage URSHER?
to much makeup/airbrushing…cute kid…a shame y’all aint bank like y’all thought you were on the baby pics.
See what happens…
@ backyard
I consign. I wasent expecting 4 his baby 2 be that cute. He’s adoreable. He looks like a young usher. I love how he decided 2 go on essence instead of the “other” magazines 4 his first apperence with his son.
Fuzzy….your hilar!!
KZZME…LOL @ gettin’ cyber blocked!! How have you been?
IJM…I gots nuttin’..nuttin’ (in Bernie Mac’s voice) but loves fa ya!!
Official TimeHater…that pic is too sometin’ like a playa for me
Got dayum! I can’t believe the envy and hate on this board today. You got a succuessful BLACK man, who MARRIED his baby’s mom (regardless if pregnancy came first), a successful BLACK man who MARRIED a BLACK WOMEN, who does good for HIS COMMUNITY and OTHERS..so fucking what if he wants to talk about it to the ends of the fucking earth who gives a shit. I mean Usher grew up in the game that is why it is something seeing him mature into a man his story is more interesting then the other celebs who was already grown with kids in the biz. Just like Brandi she had her own show cuz it was a turning point in her life and many that grew with her were interested.
I wonder how many single moms are on here or know of some whose baby’s fathers aint shit I mean use all that justifying why USHER is crap and focus on those DIP SHITS!
User needs to keep doing his grown man thing! And many wack ass brothers/AND SISTAs need to take note!
Let the man breathe geesh!
@I’M JUST ME, HA HA..GIRL BARE WITH ME, IM GONNA GET IT TOGETHER ONE OF THESE DAYS.
@KZZME
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN. GIRL, I WAS MEETING MY YOUNGER BROTHER FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WEEKEND, AND THAT DIDNT BLOW OVER SO WELL. BUT EVERYONE WANTED TO SEE PICTURES, AND WANTED TO KNOW HOW THE “VISIT” IS GOING. IM LIKE, IVE ALREADY HAD TO GIVE HIM THE BUSINESS TWICE. AND I CAN GIVE IT TO ANY ONE OF YOU’S WHO KEEP ASKING ME ABOUT THE CRAP!(LOL)
a lil volatile and hyper Jack? *takes away his energy drink*
@ Official Time Hater
LOVE THE GAVIE…LMAOOO!
@ Nikki U…I know that is why I ain’t even paying you any mind up in here. You still owe me a call back..so get with it.
I DONT CARE ABOUT USHER MARRYING THAT BEST THAT BABY BOY IS CUTIE HE LOOKED LIKE HIS PROUND DAD HE GOT HIS MNOSE HIS EARS HIS CHEACKS HIS EVERYTHING EVEAN HIS HAIR HE GOT TO LOVE THAT LITTLE HAT HE IS WEARRING USHER WIFE MAKE CUITE KIDS TO BAD HER OTHER BOYS HAVE TO LOOK LIKE HER AND THEY DONT LOOK AT ALL LIKE THE FATHER I SAW A PIC OF HER EX AND THE BOYS DOES NOT LOOK A BITE LIKE THERE DADS. SHM WHEN SHE AND USHER WILL HAVE OTHER CHILD ITS WILL BE A BABY GIRL IF NOT USHER CAN HAVE A`LITTLE GIRL FROM OTHER WOMEN. AND WEAR IS HIS WIFE THESE DAYS?MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MAYBE SHE HAVING SURUGRY LOL
OMG, He is so cuuuuuuuuute!!! minie usher…awwwwwwwww
Ush didn’t want nobdy having pics of his son and when he finally decided to cash in on them cuz his album damn sure aint cashing in much…he decides that now he wants to sell the baby pics, but guess what…..NOBODY CARES ANYMORE and nobody really wants to see them now.
And dude plz stop defending ur marriage 2 the world. If you say that you and it are so happy 2gether then STFU and let ppl talk. He that findeth a wife finds a gud thing, dats what da bible say so it must not be too gud cuz it eem like all you found was a reason to defend ur personal biz..i.e. Chewbacca
Cute baby, Doesn’t have that Raymond nose which Usher, his mom, and brother ALL have, but you never know by looking at a baby until their features truely come in.
GUESS…I TOO MARRIED AM MARRIED TO THE PERSON I HAD A BABY BY!! DO YOU SEE ME CONSTANTLY TALKING ABOUT IT AND DEFENDING IT. NO! SO ONCE AGAIN MY POINT HAS BEEN PROVEN. URSH AIN’T DOING SHYT THAT THE REST OF US OUT HERE AIN’T DOING. MAYBE HE NEEDS TO SPEN DMORE TIME WORKING ON HIS DANCE MOVES AND A BETTER LIST OF SONGS FOR THE NEXT ALBUM INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY DEFENDING THIS UNION AND BEING RUDE AND ARROGANT. MAYBE THEN HIS SHYT WOULDN’T FLOP AND HE’D STILL BE ON TOP! THAT HONEYMOON SHYT IS PLAYED. EITHER BE THE HUSBAND AND FAMILY MAN AND FALL BACK OR MAKE SOME HOT FIRE!
@ Words of a Prophet
DEAD @ Chewbacca! Not Chewy!!
Usher is lying about Tameka not being pregnant before he proposed. She was very much so pregnant at that time. He is trying to do damage control so people won’t look at her in a negative way.
@ Jack Tripper
thank you!!! I can’t believe how envious people are too. they sit here and complain about how diddy is a sh%t head for not marrying kim, but when Usher does the right thing and marries the mother of his child.. He is hated for it?????????? that’s why we have so many single baby momma’s out there….. Ha
@soulwoman
does it really matter????? at least he was a man and he stepped up to the plate and married her, unlike most of the sh@t boys out there.
OMG @ chewbacca
IJM….
Get it STR8…I text about the damn transfers and you were to never be heard from again

Let the man breathe geesh!”
AMEN!! Let the church say it again: AMEN!!! Can I get a witness!?!?!?
Jeez - now if he had a baby out of wedlock and never married the girl - like Diddy and just about all the others, would that be acceptable?!?! What if he had married a Becky?? Would that be better?!? Give the man a break.. He is a true, good BLACK MAN!! (there’s that distinction I am always telling everyone about).. He did what more BLACK MALES should be doing instead of out here acting like goddamn coons, embarrassing our race..
And for all of you saying why does he feel the need to justify his marriage its probably because everytime he turns around ignorant bastards and bitches are dogging him and his wife.. Its like he married this girl and now everyone has a problem with him..
He’s alright in my book!! Let the man be!!
“Usher is lying about Tameka not being pregnant before he proposed. She was very much so pregnant at that time. He is trying to do damage control so people won’t look at her in a negative way.”
How the HELL do you know?? How do you know what was growing in her belly and when?? We’re more inclined to believe her husband than some hater running their neck on a blog!!
Bag back, will you?!?!
I completely respect Usher for not selling his son’s picture when he was 1st born… kudos to him for putting his morals and family before money!!!!
I don’t care what anybody thinks. For the simple fact that in another interview Ursha had did. He said he didn’t like to eat collard greens. Talkin bout how TOE-Meka being walkin round tha house in tow up night gowns and dirty pink fuzzy slippers an shit wit her dick hangin out the side of her draws. That just nasty if you ask me. And he know he lyin about TOE-Meka bein pregnant. How you gonna have a baby threw a PENIS.
If you ask me I think he had the baby. Corny ass, bitchass , motherfucker.
how cute
THAT MAY JUST BE THE UGLIEST BABY EVER!

Damn - the HATERS are out in full force today!! Don’t choke on that HATORAID, HATER!!
hannibal you sorry,pathetic,retarded retard.the next time me and the boys gangbang your mom asshole i want you to spread her cheeks for us.and if you be good i’ll let you slurp the shit off the condoms and drink the sperm rest again o.k.
that is a cute little boy…but im tired of usher and his declaration of love for his wife…it seems contrived to me…if you really love her you don’t have to keep defending why you love her…live your life and be happy…next thing you know he’ll be on oprah jumping on the couch…
“MAYBE THEN HIS SHYT WOULDN’T FLOP AND HE’D STILL BE ON TOP! THAT HONEYMOON SHYT IS PLAYED. EITHER BE THE HUSBAND AND FAMILY MAN AND FALL BACK OR MAKE SOME HOT FIRE!”
This comment here in one of the reasons the black male is the worse patriarch in thewrold.. He lacks the intelligence and motivation to see that it doesn’t have to be one or the other. If you have determination and willingness, you can have BOTH!! However, the black male element fails to realize this - and it always seems to be his family that suffers!!
@POOTANG SUCKER
LMAO, BUT MY MOM HAD A SEX CHANGE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO…
“hannibal you sorry,pathetic,retarded retard.the next time me and the boys gangbang your mom asshole i want you to spread her cheeks for us.and if you be good i’ll let you slurp the shit off the condoms and drink the sperm rest again o.k.”
WOW!! WHOA!! Where did THAT come from!!
ROTFLMBAO!!!
@ Nikki U…
shyt u right. I have the copy in my drafts about that. I just sent it. OOooops! LOL
IJM…
SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
@ SMDH
Honestly, just like many new mothers, I feel fathers, and in this case in particular Usher, should have fallen back and been with this family instead of trying to come out with is garbage that he did. Take a few years off to be with your wife and new son. I am not knocking him for being there or marrying the girl. If he loves her and wants to be with her great and they have a family, even better. I don’t agree with him constantly getting nasty trying to defend it. People are going to think what they think regardless and him constantly defending it seems to make it all worse, for whatever reason. He needs to focus on his family. He is rich, there was nothing wrong with him taking time to do the family thing at all. But since he didn’t he played himself dropping that garbage is all I am saying.
@ Nikki…did u get it?
IJM…
jeah….I reads you…
@IM JUST ME
GIRL, THAT ALBUM WAS SOME TRASH.
Why he holding the baby like its a puppy???
For the people that hate…. wait… don’t like Usher could they explain the reasons why? I’m just curious.
@ SxyQ It surely was.But I don’t think he can make anything to top Confessions. Sometimes you peak. Personally I like R. Kelly’s mucis but it ain’t been nothing, imho, to top TP.2
because he is full of himself, and that is NEVER GOOD. Yes he has a image but it sucks to always think your better than someone.
@Man, I just don’t care
YOU KNOW YOU HATE USHER TOO…
AWWWWWWW!!!! HE is SOOO CUTE!!! YES IT WAS A CUTIE PIE LOL!!!!
J.T. need to come out and slap his ass GOOD with a better ALBUM… like alwaysssssssssss
@IM JUST ME
SEE, I THINK LOVE IN THIS CLUB FOOLED ALOT OF PEOPLE. AND I PERSONALLY DIDNT LIKE THAT CUT. BUT IT HAD CATCHY COMMERCIAL APPEAL. MY MOTTO IS TO WAIT UNTIL YOU’VE HEARD AT LEAST 2 SINGLES BEFORE YOU BUY IT. AND ONCE YOU GET IT, IF 5 OUT OF 16 TRACKS ARENT FIRE ENOUGH FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO ALL THE WAY THRU, GO BACK AND DEMAND YOUR DOUGH.
CUTE TINY BABY,USHER MOVE ON IGNORE THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS MADE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR WIFE.PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE ABOUT SOMETHING,IF YOU MARRIED SOMEONE WHO DIDNT LOOK BLACK THEY WOULD SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE ALSO.MOVE ON ABOUT THIS.
@Usher defectors
Lol stop the hate..Confessions was a classic..The nigga can’t make Confessions again..It sold 14 million records…Half a mil in a week is good, just not what we expect from “Usher”…He could’ve stopped making records after Confessions and his legacy would have been solidified.
He’s dealing with “janet jackson” syndrome.. Everything Janet has made in the past 10 years been garbage, but we don’t hate cause her contribution with earlier records like “Control” and “Rhythm Nation”..She can’t duplicate them albums, so whatever she makes now, won’t be in the same breath..Usher deserves the same respect..”8701″ and “Confessions” still make the panties drop and the thugs cry..So cool the hate.
@Hannibal
LMAO!! I know. I can’t find a reasonable way to justify it though and that eats at me. (unlike Lil’ Wayne)
@NIKKIU: I SOWE! I was in a meeting..I have been fine!
Damn I come back to this thread and it’s a whole lot of “HATER” being thrown around!
People have you ever stopped to think regardless what “ANYBODY” says Ursher is going to do him, so it doesn’t matter what anybody think is fraud, wether Meek Meek was prego or not during union or whenever, he is with her and it doesn’t appear that he’s going anywhere anytime soon! let them be! we have all done things in our lives that I am sure we are not proud of but we moved on “RIGHT”? Even some of my peeps here I blog with on a daily have their opinions but that’s just it their “OPINIONS”. AND I respect it!
@Negrodamus
..”8701″ and “Confessions” still make the panties drop and the thugs cry..So cool the hate
“thugs cry” -priceless
@Man, I just don’t care
LMAO!!!
I AIN’T DOIN ISH AT WORK TODAY AND I MEAN THAT!!
And whoever compared this nigga to Justin Timberlake, should lock themselves in the garage of a foreclosed home,with the car running..
Futurelove/Sex Sounds sold 9 million…5 less than Confessions. And it’s only JT’s second solo project. Usher been solo since day-1 and been putting down since day-1 so shut that shit up.
