Tameka & Usher Deny Divorce Rumors

Yesterday, in a real case of He Said, She Said, the blogs as well as some websites went wild with rumors that Tameka and Usher may be calling it a quits after less than a year of marriage. Of course we were reluctant to post the story because there was basically no official information that backed up this allegation… Plus, long before this website was launched Usher and Tameka had taken an unnecessary beating particularly in the celebrity focused blogosphere. We’ve always taken the stance that even though we don’t know Usher or Tameka personally, it’s unfortunate.

More so than anything, if you look at some of the comments posted over the last year in regards to their marriage, it’s sad to see how obsessed young (and some older ones, I’m sure) people are with aesthetics and the notions of beauty they have concocted. Since when does how a person look or his/her age determine whether or not they should marry another? Sure, as Hollywood has told us, typically the older curmudgeonly man gets the younger beautiful wife (and we assume it’s because of his money and power) and it’s a-ok. But when Usher takes an “unlikely” wife (simply because she’s older and previously married) all hell breaks loose.

Well this morning, a representative in Tameka and Usher’s camp put the smack down and confirmed that the two are not getting a divorce. Our good friends over at All Hip Hop have added that they’ve heard Tameka will be firing back and that the Raymond family will be featured in an upcoming spread in Essence magazine… So, on a good note, you will get to see little Usher up close and personal.

UPDATE: Usher lashes out on TRL. See why we’re giving him a standing ovation at 2:19.
