Tameka Raymond Reveals, “I am dating.” + Shares Why Usher’s Filing for Sole Custody

Uptown Magazine sat down with stylist/entrepreneur Tameka Raymond, the ex-wife of Usher Raymond, for an exclusive interview.

From what I recall, this may be the first actual interview that Tameka has done, since all of the hoopla surrounding the alleged custody battle between her and Usher. Peep a few excerpts:

How Tameka and Usher met:

“Usher and I met because i was one of the top stylists in the game. You don’t get to work with someone of his stature in music, especially back then, without being one of the best….And I still am hardworking.”

Why Tameka thinks Usher filed for sole custody of their two children:

“He is a man very accustomed to having his way…his has nothing to do with how I parent. Trust me, I never will have a desire to keep a man away from his kids. I am not June Cleaver or head of the PTA, but I know I am a good mother.”

On if she is now dating:

“I am dating..It’s refreshing. I have not been single in a while. I got divorced and married in the same year. It was a run-on relationship…But a lot of guys like to play games. I like a man that’s a boss. I am not the dominant one. But a lot of the ones with the right mind-set wear OshKosh overalls. And if they are not ?y, I don’t like them…I don’t bring men around my children. They have never met an ‘Uncle Tony.’ The two that I did bring around, I married.”

Isn’t she gorgeous or are you not a fan? Anywho, read the full interview here.

    So not a fan. Why is she carrying his name. Is that to keep her name revolving in the circle of who’s who in Hollywood? I’m glad she’s dating now she can move on.

      Many women keep their married name so that they can retain the same surname of their child(ren) – at least until they get remarried… it’s pretty common, actually.
