That had to hurt! She should've had a Solange in her family to handle Grace.
why did Usher push her buttons. He invited his girlfriend home for his son's birthday as who? How did she introduce herself (colleague, band mate, just friends, or next-in-line)?
He filed for full custody. This should never happen unless one parent is reckless, abusive, incompetent. Etc., But 💰 money & celebrity status can make someone like Tamika lose her children. She sounds honest desiring dual custody.
People can say whatever they want about her, but one thing is for sure, she's honest. At least she takes full responsibility for her actions, she didn't deny or shy away from anything. Yes, she's a little crazy, but she's real
Why is everybody calling her a cougar? If she a cougar so is Chilli, they're the same age!! If she was an unfit mother the other minor children would have been removed from her custody also. Lost all respect for Usher after this!!!

If she is not stable. which she has done some questionable things in her past, the court is going to decide what is best for the children. For her to be restricted to that extent, there are details we are not privy to. Neither will be perfect, but one is probably less of a negative influence than the other.
Everly Green usually I would defend usher because I like him but this was extremely petty.If he can’t be their for his kids why not let them just both have custody instead of hiring nanny’s etc.
Wow this is one strong lady!! After all of this, she still puts respect on his name and deals with her loss of a child and tragedy of another in a positive and productive manner. I hope things turn around for her
Usher has small children and a pool that has not been child proofed. A couple hundred bucks for the installation of child proof drain covers and that has not been done. It is because he is not the type of parent that thinks about those kinds of child safety issues. OMG most mother I know, if they have a five your old, there is no way in hell they would have their child anywhere near a non child proofed pool, much less own one. She has a point. If he's not watching them she should be.
That accident doesn't define his ability to parent. Accidents happen period. Many children are hurt annuallly under the watchful eye of mothers. The judge again agreed that usher is the better parent. If that witch had custody she would be asking for nanny money on top of support like all the other gold diggers that rich men pull out of poverty. Then she like all the other rich moms with primary custody do, would be living the good life while the nanny watch the kids.
@@fresh5959 I agree 💯 Not every mom is a good mom. They have no close relationship with the child, pay little attention to it, etc. Recently Usher said that they had a babysitter right from the beginning to take no care day and night 🤔🙄🤦♀️ Why did she lose custody of the childs from her first marriage... I think the sons are often with her, especially if he is longer on the road. Besides she has long accepted the facts.
elaine sagastizado True. But joint custody id the best for a child because every child has a right to the mother and father on the condition that, both parents are fit to take care of the child. Fathers and mothers should all have time for their child / children coz their is no replacement. Nannys are their only to support but cannot replace the natural obligations of a mother and a father.
She has a anger issue and don't deserve primary custody. She is bitter and usher would have issues seeing his boys if she had them. They are better off with dad
@@YoungHustlaC1 Last time I heard women carry the baby for 9 months, give birth, nourish and nurture...nah they are not equally important. I love my dad, but I can't imagine life w/o my mom. If she has not harmed the children and it was a situational squabble she should not be denied the right to her children. Only time will tell how much the absence of their mother affected them. Usher is on divorce #2 now, so he can't be all that great.
@@YoungHustlaC1 Sorry, I didn't take the time to read your comment, but I did skim. 😂😂 Equally assumes that mother's and father's contribute in the same manner or to the same extent...busting a nut does not equate to carrying a child for 9 months, the baby can't suck on daddy's nipple for nourishment...now I never said Father's weren't important...at some point they play an important role, but a mother's role begins before birth and until her death. As for your bible story😂😂ok
@@FreeBirdee agree with you 100%. my mom was everything to me, the only real parent i had even tho my dad was always in the picture. he and i just didn't have the relationship that i had with mom.
All kids need their father. We have seen what happens when kids are raised by single mothers. It has destroyed the black community. I'm glad more men are getting custody of their kids. Single mothers + children = prison
I’m sure Usher loves his kids, but knowing he’s mostly at work and away from the kids and not able to physically care for them, he probably wanted full custody so he won’t have to pay a fortune for child support. This is sad
Usher know he wrong for taking his kids away from the mom I really don't agree with him ever being their primary care source when they have a dedicated mom smh usher wack for that
that is sad that a mom gets less time with her kids that is so unfair,she should get what she asks for cause she is being reasonable with what she thinks
Traditionally we never see joint custody with the mom and dad, generally it is the mom so what's wrong with the dad having full custody of his sons. If it were girls I could understand the mom having custody, if the man was a deadbeat I could understand Mom having custody but Usher is neither; therefore, his need to be with him.
@@intelligentthinker8085 there's nothing wrong with it when the father has the time, he's hardly there with the boys and at those times they are clearly much safer in the hands of their mother. did we not watch the same video?
@@intelligentthinker8085 They've always had joint custody. He was the "primary" custodian. She said on this video, the boys were with her 10 days out of the month. She was rightfully arguing for primary custody.
It's supposed to be the best interest of the child. Tomeka's argument supports them being in her care, is their best interest. He should have had to provide financial support, and the children should have been in the care of their mother, who would do a proper job of parenting unlike absent Usher, and his incompetent staff.
And he shouldn't , why should he pay tons of child support. they want the kids to live a lavish lifestyle like the father, then give them to their father. Why should a man pay a woman to take care of his kids when he can do just as well as good job and you got the money to provide for them. The system isn't fair to men to begin with, so when a man wins his children women see it as unfair. How many men have fought for their kids and didn't get them. courts fleecing them , never seeing there kids cause they busy working to pay child support and can't survive. When I see men win there kids, rich or poor. its a blessing. In the bible, children are a mans property not a woman's.
Men always going off about that little money. Contrary to popular belief I know quite a few women who do everything by themselves and get no help. I know women who ask men to just get the items for the child instead of giving them the money and it’s still a problem. So with all due respect the comment above mine can miss me with that. You can’t take the money with you when you die and it ain’t everything. It holds no candle to what single moms have to do. You write a check and you’re done we do all the labor.
@@truthandtrust89 "Men always going off about that little money" You could miss me with that. There's men who are paying tons in child support, losing their license and being thrown in jail for a debt which is illegal. Yes you can't take the money with you but what does that have to do with taking care of your kids. A man can do just as good of a job raising kids as well as a woman, in fact men are better at it. Look at the statistics and you will see how many bad kids with behaviour problems and young teens who become incarcerated; young teen girls who become pregnant. They come from single parent homes , predominantly single mother homes, with absentee fathers. Go look at the stats. So a man wanting to raise his kids and has the financial means to do so, what's the problem? There's this stupid societal belief that women are better equipped to raise children than men, which is FALSE. I have met women who were raised by men and hands down they were better women , their thought process wasn't flawed with feminist beliefs. God never made women to be equal to men, women were made to assist men , not the other way around. They knew and understood the role of a man and a father in a child's life, its women who want to wear the pants and want everything their way that use their children to manipulate and control relationships; run to court to hurt their child's father . Gold digging women, out for a lavish lifestyle off the back of a mans hard work and all they did was open they legs and had a baby. Then they wanna live your life style, the kid entitled to the life style not the mother . So if I'm gonna give you thousands of dollars for my child to live as me, then give me my child . Why pay her when the man has the financial means , obviously the mother don't that's why she needs child support. Men don't write checks and be done , that's a womans excuse . women act like raising kids is a burden, so why yall make em?
Its odd that nobody seems to bring up the fact that she had 5 kids, the dads of the older 3 had custody of them. Why would she only fight to keep Usher's kids?
If anyone has a case of being a narsasisst, if Definately him. I LOVED me some Usher music but I truly hope she gets at least joint custody back or whole. God bless you Tameka. Sad what people with money will do for pride. They're her babies 😔❤
Why wouldn't you want the kids with their mom when dad doesn't have them. It doesn't matter the hate you guys have for eachother. The children is most important. He's childish as hell.
Most females end up with primary custody. Collect child suppprt and end up dropping our kids off everywhere except with the dad being spiteful. It has and is happening to me and many men. Its about time we men have a victory in court. The judge. Saw through her B S. Why can't you?
Here's what's absolutely crazy - CPS will remove children from their home, a judge will grant an UNFIT mother custody of her child, because she has been "rehabilitated "!!! But a judge will remove all rights of a loving mother and give FULL custody of the children to the super star! Not cool at all. I'm aware this situation has changed, but I can guarantee you there are numerous parents that have gone or may be going through this very same situation.
John Mayoue, Usher's lawyer, raised 83% of campaign funds for Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane's election. that's why Usher picked him. And that's why Tameka lost. Here is an article on their connection.

I do too and I really feel for her especially with the way law is these days,she's a good person and I've seen countless mums that can do worse than worse just to get their kids back and even go ahead and ruin you and I don't understand why celebrities always have issues with children and families when they can actually manage their homes as well as they manage their career so perfect this is is becoming appalling
I Dissagree with C. A If Usher is the Father, allow him to b the Father to his son's. Toooooo often Black Men are ripped, forgotten, and dismissed from the Black Family, and other men whom are not the father end up raising other men children, and the situation ends up fucked up! So no! Let that Black Man raise his Black Son's! Periodt! Black Women are strong women, but sometimes it's ok to step back and allow the Man to b the Man, and in this situation, sit back Queen, and let the Man b the Man, and support his decision, especially if it's the right decision ❤. Black Love
Please, boys need to be with their father. She is not discussing her temper tantrums where she keyed his car and other documented situations. Black boys belong with black fathers as long as they are fit. Get over it sister the gravy train has ended. Sorry you have to get a real job now.
@@a.k.4085 yes i did, she is a jewel, but i would give my right arm to have the relationship with my father that Usher has with his sons. For some reason a lot of women do not understand that. They get upset with the ex-husband or baby daddies and use our young men as pawns not even realizing that they are only hurting their sons. If you ever wonder why so many of the young black men in our community have so much anger and rage? This is part of the reason why. she needs to get over it and accept the terms because she cannot teach him to be a man and Usher can.
@@intelligentthinker8085 I agree with your last comment a million percent. Been saying the same for years. Seeing how my Sister and her Ex used their children as Pawns made me sick to my stomach SO many times. It backfired on my Sister. Out of 3, she only has a relationship with 1.
@@a.k.4085 you are not the only one that has family members that do the same thing and play the same games. I feel sorry for those people but primarily for their children because even after they are adults they carry all of that baggage into the various relationships that they come into. Moreover, they allow their children to think it's okay to have children without marriage when that is the primary problem in the black community.
Tameka has a god given right to buffer adversity for her children. Poor poor children who are not allowed to have their primary attachment at their beck and call.
I strongly agree that that fame and wealth play major roles in what is suppose to be our JUSTICE system! I believe she should have her children when he is away, instead of being cared for by others! Come on this woman has just lost a sion tragically! Another thing aside from the fact no one was in the pool with a 5 year old, why are there not any security hates surrounding the pool when you have two small children residing there? It doesn't make sense!!

I have never seen him with his kids. Why would he even file for full custody? He is always away. How did he even get full custody? So the court felt that the children were better off with staffers than with their OWN mother and her side of the family?? This is some 🐂
Yes, this woman is looking beautiful, and prepared very well in this interview. But we don’t know nothing about her and their marriage. Usher smart. He is doing his best protect him and his children.
Here's what we know that came out in court: Usher gave Tameka an STD. He cheated with a bridesmaid. Denied an affair with his manager, then flaunted her at their child party. His lawyer and the judge have a high conflict of interest: the lawyer hosted fundraisers for the judge's election. She should've recused herself on ethics.

People can have their opinions about Tameka, she's been through a lot. Having lost one son tragically and almost losing this lil one is something I couldn't imagine or wish on anyone.
She didn't get custody because she was out being a socialite instead of taking care of them. She was found to only want to use the kids as a prop. That's why they sided with him.
So ushet didn't to the same things of course he did or pay off the lawyer and judge if that was True she stil dont deserve to have part of custody of het kids usher with his slick ass know that she had a child that died and his low down ass and took the boy away from her Usher and Dwayne Wade they pay there way yo get custody and system allowed it Gabriel bet watch out he might do the same to you with the daughter and thzt goes for you too usher.
@@rosematthews9474 ma'am do you actually believe gives a f&$# about Usher? Lil Wayne, T.I, The Game, James Brown, Bobby Brown, Chris Brown, Sisqo, Jay Z, Eminem, Mike Vick, Shug night, P Diddy, DMX all the alphabet rappers .....etc. All have money and they all were arrested.. these judges don't care that much about money. Her son died in a boating accident. He didn't kill her son. Usher was a 21 when he met her and 25 when they married and she was 35. Tell me she didn't prey on him? 21??? She could have started grooming him then. She married a momma's boy, didn't do anything his mom wouldn't allow down to decorating his home. Most are easy to manipulate as long as you talk to them like their mom does. That's empathy a mother has ..a mother's touch.. it's morbid but he fell in love with someone who mother's him...he fell in love with his mom. I don't know about the Gabriel + Duane business..that tea is too hot..
@@undeniably_crissy2902 Though there's a 10 year age difference, at 21 he was a grown man in every sense of the word. And I do think some of these judges are sexist and racist. They can't stand for a Black woman to have what they consider a privileged life -- even though she is putting in work as a mother.
Tameka strikes me as someone who is intelligent, well-spoken, and reasonable. I appreciate her transparency concerning her emotional reaction to seeing Usher's girlfriend in her house, at their child's birthday party. Her reaction was understandable, under the circumstances. Lastly, concerning Tameka's "mental illness," as a former mental health clinician, I think all of us demonstrate mental health issues to varying degrees, at different times in our lives, based on the circumstances of our lives at the time. Good interview.
Give this women her children!! There is clearly nothing wrong with her and she is a strong loving human being!! Hopefully nothing even more horrible is happening to those boys on a daily basis which is why they keep mom far away!! We all know the sick things going on in Hollywood!! Pray for them and I hope she keeps fighting and stays strong! Boys need their mothers to be good fathers in the future just as much as they need fathers!! They need that softer nurturing and empathy development that a mother naturally gives typically to her children!! 🙏🏻❤️
That hug was a photo op. His camp probably told him to do that. Those kids need their mom. He went for custody to avoid that child support. His controlling mama probably told him to do that. You can tell she loves All of her kids. This is so sad I couldn’t imagine not having my kids or having them taken away from me.
I love Usher but this lady is honest, doesn’t disrespect Usher and I really feel for her loosing her children. Why he did this I don’t know. I wouldn’t think she was a danger to her children. It’s a shame the way things turned out. It’s down to the money. They care about each other obviously. I know what it’s like to lose a son. A very brave lady.
He sought full custody to avoid child support. Spite is deserved if your husband gives you an STD, screws your bridesmaid; has an affair with his manager & denies it, let you go on social media denying it defending him, all for it to be true & that dog brings his mistress to your child's party a couple weeks later after the affair is confirmed! People die for lesser things. IJS
I am indeed a mother. And what woman hasn't been through some sort of bs with her man? So because he did that to her he doesn't deserve to be in the KIDS life. Fuck out of here. It takes two to make em and a village to raise. It's called co parenting. Grown up issues should never involve the kids, unless it's directly effecting them.
its been a long time and I'm now watching this, don't know whats going on right now but i think the kids should be with they mums when usher not around, i know i sure wouldn't wanna leave my kids with a nanny when I'm not home
I know what I'm talking about..do y'all really believe any judge will take children from a mother that isn't unfit to give them to a father that travels most of the year? It's something that isn't being told y'all Should've realized that when the children almost drowned the mother tried to get them back then but it didn't happen...
@Lailonnie Tukes You are very much wrong!(smh). Do you have children and if so have you ever been in and out of court concerning an intense child custody battle?!! The mother can be educated, not an alocholic, not on drugs, employed, and may still lose her babies because the father knows people in the court system or because he is popular like Usher and pay the attorney well and pay the judge behind closed doors to rule in his favor!
Use ur brains people, there’s two sides to a story, she must have been an unfit mother for him to take them away. Trust me! If a man is a good father, which I suspect he is, he would not have taken the kids away from their Mother.
Oh, okay, she's crazy. Also, as someone whose mother has displayed narcissistic traits, I can say for certain this can be very damaging in parenting. Based on her crazy behaviors and her evaluation, it makes sense that the court would still keep her from her children even though they usually favor women indiscriminately.
I feel sorry for Tameka - she's worried about her kids and wants to see them more often. It's great that Usher is involved in his kids life but when he is away Tameka should be allowed to take care of them instead of him leaving them with nannies or other family members.
@1:42 is he supposed to let her take his children away? He did the right thing, he should make her pay child support and all other expenses until she lives in poverty just like women do to men!
On what grounds did the judge base the decision to take her children from her. Did she abuse them, neglect them, not feed them, did she not provide housing for them?? Definitely was not fair ruling, the judge had to be biased. My heart breaks for her. This is not right
I have been thru the very same as a great mother losing my kids to a man who had more money & even controlled me. Its happening all to often to mothers. I do still see my children of course but am fighting for more time.
I think for the kids to go to their mum when Usher is not around seems very fair and logical.

Fathers and mothers should all have time for their child / children coz their is no replacement. Nannys are their only to support but cannot replace the natural obligations of a mother and a father.
Very cold
Yes Usher Raymond is a control freak he was wrong for what he did to the mother of his kids
He's a jerk. Look how many women he gave herpes. He has no integrity
@@auntyuber5127
I agree.
So was that money hungry chauvinist judge and lawyer...he is definitely a POS💩!
Absolutely
@@sherie7528 precisely 😑
I wish wouldn't have fell for his button pushing behaviors. She deserves to see her kids more. I hope she keeps fighting for her kids.
She has a anger issue and don't deserve primary custody. She is bitter and usher would have issues seeing his boys if she had them. They are better off with dad
@@jobeoliver5771 You are a narcissist and this comment shows. She is an amazing mother and a classy woman. 💯

Opinions are like assholes
I don't care what nobody daddies are great they are wonderful , I had a wonderful father, but ain't nothing like yo mama!
Trust me
There's no one that's more important than other, without either there is none both are equal
@@YoungHustlaC1 Last time I heard women carry the baby for 9 months, give birth, nourish and nurture...nah they are not equally important. I love my dad, but I can't imagine life w/o my mom. If she has not harmed the children and it was a situational squabble she should not be denied the right to her children. Only time will tell how much the absence of their mother affected them. Usher is on divorce #2 now, so he can't be all that great.
@@YoungHustlaC1 Sorry, I didn't take the time to read your comment, but I did skim. 😂😂 Equally assumes that mother's and father's contribute in the same manner or to the same extent...busting a nut does not equate to carrying a child for 9 months, the baby can't suck on daddy's nipple for nourishment...now I never said Father's weren't important...at some point they play an important role, but a mother's role begins before birth and until her death. As for your bible story😂😂ok
@@FreeBirdee agree with you 100%. my mom was everything to me, the only real parent i had even tho my dad was always in the picture. he and i just didn't have the relationship that i had with mom.

@@shayblk honey dont get mad she said it 2 years ago 😁
True
All kids need their mother...♥️🇦🇺
AND their father
Mum more importantly
All kids need their father. We have seen what happens when kids are raised by single mothers. It has destroyed the black community. I'm glad more men are getting custody of their kids. Single mothers + children = prison
And dad to..
Not all. There are many mommy's that should never have children.
I’m sure Usher loves his kids, but knowing he’s mostly at work and away from the kids and not able to physically care for them, he probably wanted full custody so he won’t have to pay a fortune for child support. This is sad
👏🏿
Usher know he wrong for taking his kids away from the mom I really don't agree with him ever being their primary care source when they have a dedicated mom smh usher wack for that
So tru
Know we know Usher didn’t want to pay child support...his ego couldn’t handle it!
@@Tabby.cat2 or maybe she is just unfit because the courts will give custody to the mother almost always.
Michael Gayle, and we don’t know the whole story. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors.
Shanice Williams @ g a
that is sad that a mom gets less time with her kids that is so unfair,she should get what she asks for cause she is being reasonable with what she thinks
I'm sorry but for all the money in the world she is not attractive at all
I hope when it comes to fathers, you will reason the same way.
they should have joint custody. wtf!
Traditionally we never see joint custody with the mom and dad, generally it is the mom so what's wrong with the dad having full custody of his sons. If it were girls I could understand the mom having custody, if the man was a deadbeat I could understand Mom having custody but Usher is neither; therefore, his need to be with him.
@@intelligentthinker8085 there's nothing wrong with it when the father has the time, he's hardly there with the boys and at those times they are clearly much safer in the hands of their mother. did we not watch the same video?
He picked the right one. I don't care who he is. Wouldn't be taking my son from me.😏
@@chaitrapollard8869 big fact
@@intelligentthinker8085 They've always had joint custody. He was the "primary" custodian.
She said on this video, the boys were with her 10 days out of the month.
She was rightfully arguing for primary custody.
She is just being a mother lion and she has every right.
The wealthiest and/or famous ones...the Courts side with them A LOT.
My rich ex had my child support suspended....... and I had both kids !!!
Could it be because the rich/wealthy can "pay" for the judge to rule in their favor?
This happens alot
All the Time,alot of male rappers and Tyrese,pulled this same shyt,and the judges went in their favor.
These days the courts side with the dads more often. Usher probably didn’t want to pay out tons of child support.
It's supposed to be the best interest of the child.
Tomeka's argument supports them being in her care, is their best interest.
He should have had to provide financial support, and the children should have been in the care of their mother, who would do a proper job of parenting unlike absent Usher, and his incompetent staff.
And he shouldn't , why should he pay tons of child support. they want the kids to live a lavish lifestyle like the father, then give them to their father. Why should a man pay a woman to take care of his kids when he can do just as well as good job and you got the money to provide for them.
The system isn't fair to men to begin with, so when a man wins his children women see it as unfair. How many men have fought for their kids and didn't get them. courts fleecing them , never seeing there kids cause they busy working to pay child support and can't survive. When I see men win there kids, rich or poor. its a blessing.
In the bible, children are a mans property not a woman's.
Men always going off about that little money. Contrary to popular belief I know quite a few women who do everything by themselves and get no help. I know women who ask men to just get the items for the child instead of giving them the money and it’s still a problem. So with all due respect the comment above mine can miss me with that. You can’t take the money with you when you die and it ain’t everything. It holds no candle to what single moms have to do. You write a check and you’re done we do all the labor.
@@truthandtrust89 "Men always going off about that little money" You could miss me with that. There's men who are paying tons in child support, losing their license and being thrown in jail for a debt which is illegal.
Yes you can't take the money with you but what does that have to do with taking care of your kids. A man can do just as good of a job raising kids as well as a woman, in fact men are better at it.
Look at the statistics and you will see how many bad kids with behaviour problems and young teens who become incarcerated; young teen girls who become pregnant.
They come from single parent homes , predominantly single mother homes, with absentee fathers.
Go look at the stats. So a man wanting to raise his kids and has the financial means to do so,
what's the problem?
There's this stupid societal belief that women are better equipped to raise children than men, which is FALSE.
I have met women who were raised by men and hands down they were better women , their thought process wasn't flawed with feminist beliefs.
God never made women to be equal to men, women were made to assist men , not the other way around.
They knew and understood the role of a man and a father in a child's life, its women who want to wear the pants and want everything their way that use their children to manipulate and control relationships; run to court to hurt their child's father .
Gold digging women, out for a lavish lifestyle off the back of a mans hard work and all they did was open they legs and had a baby.
Then they wanna live your life style, the kid entitled to the life style not the mother . So if I'm gonna give you thousands of dollars for my child to live as me, then give me my child .
Why pay her when the man has the financial means , obviously the mother don't that's why she needs child support.
Men don't write checks and be done , that's a womans excuse . women act like raising kids is a burden, so why yall make em?
Its odd that nobody seems to bring up the fact that she had 5 kids, the dads of the older 3 had custody of them. Why would she only fight to keep Usher's kids?
If anyone has a case of being a narsasisst, if Definately him. I LOVED me some Usher music but I truly hope she gets at least joint custody back or whole. God bless you Tameka. Sad what people with money will do for pride. They're her babies 😔❤
Why wouldn't you want the kids with their mom when dad doesn't have them. It doesn't matter the hate you guys have for eachother. The children is most important. He's childish as hell.
Shani Shay agree! Kids matter first. Taking a child’s mom away from them at that young age, hurts them a lot.
Shani Shay 💯 % agree!
Most females end up with primary custody. Collect child suppprt and end up dropping our kids off everywhere except with the dad being spiteful. It has and is happening to me and many men. Its about time we men have a victory in court. The judge. Saw through her B S. Why can't you?
I feel for this lady.. I pray she gets her boys back!
Here's what's absolutely crazy - CPS will remove children from their home, a judge will grant an UNFIT mother custody of her child, because she has been "rehabilitated "!!! But a judge will remove all rights of a loving mother and give FULL custody of the children to the super star! Not cool at all. I'm aware this situation has changed, but I can guarantee you there are numerous parents that have gone or may be going through this very same situation.
Money talks poor people walk! This lady couldn't catch a break to save her life such a shame.
Usher is wrong hands down for taking FULL custody from the mother of those children. But u reap wat u sow
Kids need their mom!! I mean 10 days out of a month?! Usher doin this cuz of child support 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Yah in a world where women have turn child support into a side hustle, that's what's gonna happen.
I blame the US justice system for ridiculous child support money
She should have her kids
I agree with
Tameka
Why did usher file for full custody ?
Cause she crazy keyed up all his cars etc. She needed too much attention knowing that hes a celebrity.
Cause he is petty
He wanted to have complete control over her and is afraid of she moved on with his kids would call someone else dad! It's just that plain and simple.
selfish
Too avoid child support...uhhh,real simple to understand. Greed and Control.She is a Good Mother. He sucks!
Oh Usher wrong for this one 😯
Yeah, she made a point... bring the babies to mama when usher is away...
Usher will look back and regret keeping the kids away.. at the end of the day.. they need both parents
The court system should be ashamed of themselves!!!!!!!
John Mayoue, Usher's lawyer, raised 83% of campaign funds for Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane's election. that's why Usher picked him. And that's why Tameka lost. Here is an article on their connection.

She honestly does not sound like a narcissist, though… So I’m confused why she was diagnosed that, but usher is left undisclosed
Wow a year before this she had 3 kids, now she got none (sort of). I feel sorry for her.
Doesn't she have 5 children with her ex husband. Married Usher, had two more kids.
Always a Women Named "Karma" ,comes and lays down the law..... Mr,Usher will see her and have to deal with her one day.
He got his karma real good already herpes boy what I call him lol
@@jmo9263 I heard Usher has HIV.
Herpes
I believe every word she said about Usher
I do too
I do too and I really feel for her especially with the way law is these days,she's a good person and I've seen countless mums that can do worse than worse just to get their kids back and even go ahead and ruin you and I don't understand why celebrities always have issues with children and families when they can actually manage their homes as well as they manage their career so perfect this is is becoming appalling
The kids need tameka
He doesn't realize how much this is going to put division between him and the kids in the future. Be mature Usher.
I Dissagree with C. A If Usher is the Father, allow him to b the Father to his son's. Toooooo often Black Men are ripped, forgotten, and dismissed from the Black Family, and other men whom are not the father end up raising other men children, and the situation ends up fucked up! So no! Let that Black Man raise his Black Son's! Periodt! Black Women are strong women, but sometimes it's ok to step back and allow the Man to b the Man, and in this situation, sit back Queen, and let the Man b the Man, and support his decision, especially if it's the right decision ❤. Black Love
EXACTLY, and so many other celebrities pull that same crap. Can't stand it. And those Judges are WRONG!!!
Yeah kids should be with mom. Just another famous dad that don't wanna pay for child support. So he rather just keep them.
I never thought about it like that I was hoping he did for the right reasons but that makes more sense because it wasn't like she was a bad mother
No...moms think they are entitled...but they need to know that the kids are just as much the father's as the mother's
Well if he spends 85 percent of his time working why not send the kids with their mom instead of nanny.
@@blondelefant2119 thats true, but in this case???

I pray they get this together soon.
His sons are going to hate him subconsciously for taking away their mother.
Please, boys need to be with their father. She is not discussing her temper tantrums where she keyed his car and other documented situations. Black boys belong with black fathers as long as they are fit. Get over it sister the gravy train has ended. Sorry you have to get a real job now.
@@intelligentthinker8085 You grow up with a good Mother?
@@a.k.4085 yes i did, she is a jewel, but i would give my right arm to have the relationship with my father that Usher has with his sons. For some reason a lot of women do not understand that. They get upset with the ex-husband or baby daddies and use our young men as pawns not even realizing that they are only hurting their sons. If you ever wonder why so many of the young black men in our community have so much anger and rage? This is part of the reason why. she needs to get over it and accept the terms because she cannot teach him to be a man and Usher can.
@@intelligentthinker8085 I agree with your last comment a million percent. Been saying the same for years. Seeing how my Sister and her Ex used their children as Pawns made me sick to my stomach SO many times. It backfired on my Sister. Out of 3, she only has a relationship with 1.
@@a.k.4085 you are not the only one that has family members that do the same thing and play the same games. I feel sorry for those people but primarily for their children because even after they are adults they carry all of that baggage into the various relationships that they come into. Moreover, they allow their children to think it's okay to have children without marriage when that is the primary problem in the black community.
This is heartbreaking. She already lost a son. Come on Usher, please let her be with her kids when you're busy. 😢
Children r better off with their mum..than a dad who will bring a chain of girlfriends and is never home with them
No one ever said why the court would take this woman’s small children from her. I don’t understand.
This woman's children or their children
A man that takes children away from their mother is heartless.
@ray turner 👏👏👏👏
They should be with Tameka when Usher is away. SIMPLE!!
Tameka has a god given right to buffer adversity for her children. Poor poor children who are not allowed to have their primary attachment at their beck and call.
Look
I strongly agree that that fame and wealth play major roles in what is suppose to be our JUSTICE system! I believe she should have her children when he is away, instead of being cared for by others! Come on this woman has just lost a sion tragically! Another thing aside from the fact no one was in the pool with a 5 year old, why are there not any security hates surrounding the pool when you have two small children residing there? It doesn't make sense!!

I have never seen him with his kids. Why would he even file for full custody? He is always away. How did he even get full custody? So the court felt that the children were better off with staffers than with their OWN mother and her side of the family?? This is some 🐂
Yes, this woman is looking beautiful, and prepared very well in this interview. But we don’t know nothing about her and their marriage. Usher smart. He is doing his best protect him and his children.
Here's what we know that came out in court:
Usher gave Tameka an STD.
He cheated with a bridesmaid.
Denied an affair with his manager, then flaunted her at their child party.
His lawyer and the judge have a high conflict of interest: the lawyer hosted fundraisers for the judge's election. She should've recused herself on ethics.

People can have their opinions about Tameka, she's been through a lot. Having lost one son tragically and almost losing this lil one is something I couldn't imagine or wish on anyone.
divorced or not, when he is on tour and he loves his kids he should just leave them with their mom. He owes her that much. Money isnt everything
She didn't get custody because she was out being a socialite instead of taking care of them. She was found to only want to use the kids as a prop. That's why they sided with him.
So ushet didn't to the same things of course he did or pay off the lawyer and judge if that was True she stil dont deserve to have part of custody of het kids usher with his slick ass know that she had a child that died and his low down ass and took the boy away from her Usher and Dwayne Wade they pay there way yo get custody and system allowed it Gabriel bet watch out he might do the same to you with the daughter and thzt goes for you too usher.

Lil Wayne, T.I, The Game, James Brown, Bobby Brown, Chris Brown, Sisqo, Jay Z, Eminem, Mike Vick, Shug night, P Diddy, DMX all the alphabet rappers .....etc. All have money and they all were arrested.. these judges don't care that much about money. Her son died in a boating accident. He didn't kill her son. Usher was a 21 when he met her and 25 when they married and she was 35. Tell me she didn't prey on him? 21??? She could have started grooming him then. She married a momma's boy, didn't do anything his mom wouldn't allow down to decorating his home. Most are easy to manipulate as long as you talk to them like their mom does. That's empathy a mother has ..a mother's touch.. it's morbid but he fell in love with someone who mother's him...he fell in love with his mom.

Unfair. Kids needs to be with their mom. America, America, America. Oh, America...You will pay. U fiar
People have been disemboweled from the sheer force of those pool drains. They are so lucky!!
Tameka strikes me as someone who is intelligent, well-spoken, and reasonable. I appreciate her transparency concerning her emotional reaction to seeing Usher's girlfriend in her house, at their child's birthday party. Her reaction was understandable, under the circumstances. Lastly, concerning Tameka's "mental illness," as a former mental health clinician, I think all of us demonstrate mental health issues to varying degrees, at different times in our lives, based on the circumstances of our lives at the time. Good interview.
They have obscene amounts of money but can't find the time to secure the pools at their mansions? Why not?
I hate when parents say, ”My kids”...Say ”Our” kids. Damn! Parents could be so petty & annoying.
Rainey Fall It's no different than the ones who say "your kids" when the child does something they don't like. Yeah, I've heard that too. 😞
The fight is on when "your" kids are taken from you.
Give this women her children!! There is clearly nothing wrong with her and she is a strong loving human being!! Hopefully nothing even more horrible is happening to those boys on a daily basis which is why they keep mom far away!! We all know the sick things going on in Hollywood!! Pray for them and I hope she keeps fighting and stays strong! Boys need their mothers to be good fathers in the future just as much as they need fathers!! They need that softer nurturing and empathy development that a mother naturally gives typically to her children!! 🙏🏻❤️
That hug was a photo op. His camp probably told him to do that. Those kids need their mom. He went for custody to avoid that child support. His controlling mama probably told him to do that. You can tell she loves All of her kids. This is so sad I couldn’t imagine not having my kids or having them taken away from me.
I never really like Usher and now I know why.
Gurl bye
Children belong with their mother at that age, & usher is to famous to take care of his kids.
Split care they need both parents
I love Usher but this lady is honest, doesn’t disrespect Usher and I really feel for her loosing her children. Why he did this I don’t know. I wouldn’t think she was a danger to her children. It’s a shame the way things turned out. It’s down to the money. They care about each other obviously. I know what it’s like to lose a son. A very brave lady.
Where is it written in stone that children are better off with their mother instead of their father?
He filed for custody because of her behavior. She was spiteful, and
Using those kids as a crutch. The have joint custody now
Are you a mom ? Shut your filthy nasty mouth!
He sought full custody to avoid child support. Spite is deserved if your husband gives you an STD, screws your bridesmaid; has an affair with his manager & denies it, let you go on social media denying it defending him, all for it to be true & that dog brings his mistress to your child's party a couple weeks later after the affair is confirmed! People die for lesser things. IJS
I am indeed a mother.
And what woman hasn't been through some sort of bs with her man? So because he did that to her he doesn't deserve to be in the KIDS life. Fuck out of here. It takes two to make em and a village to raise. It's called co parenting. Grown up issues should never involve the kids, unless it's directly effecting them.
SHE IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL I ALWAYS THOUGHT SO ANYWAY BUT HERE YOU COULD REALLY SEE IT CLEARLY.
Why did the judge give him full custody
its been a long time and I'm now watching this, don't know whats going on right now but i think the kids should be with they mums when usher not around, i know i sure wouldn't wanna leave my kids with a nanny when I'm not home
My BFF is a father and he has main custody and he is not famous and he is not "Rich". But he has main custody because he is a good father.
Why is she still using his last name? The state of Georgia isn't gonna side with the father in court unless the mother is unfit🤷🏾♀️
Well, a lot of people have claimed that if you have money you will get what you want in the 'A'.
Lailonnie Tukes USHER IS A SUPER STAR SHE IS NOT
I know what I'm talking about..do y'all really believe any judge will take children from a mother that isn't unfit to give them to a father that travels most of the year? It's something that isn't being told y'all Should've realized that when the children almost drowned the mother tried to get them back then but it didn't happen...
Money and the Cabal Backing Him And Is Power
@Lailonnie Tukes You are very much wrong!(smh). Do you have children and if so have you ever been in and out of court concerning an intense child custody battle?!! The mother can be educated, not an alocholic, not on drugs, employed, and may still lose her babies because the father knows people in the court system or because he is popular like Usher and pay the attorney well and pay the judge behind closed doors to rule in his favor!
Use ur brains people, there’s two sides to a story, she must have been an unfit mother for him to take them away.
Trust me! If a man is a good father, which I suspect he is, he would not have taken the kids away from their Mother.
Yes... She tried to play down the narc traits diagnosis!! Pls God those kids are ok
Oh, okay, she's crazy. Also, as someone whose mother has displayed narcissistic traits, I can say for certain this can be very damaging in parenting. Based on her crazy behaviors and her evaluation, it makes sense that the court would still keep her from her children even though they usually favor women indiscriminately.
I feel sorry for Tameka - she's worried about her kids and wants to see them more often. It's great that Usher is involved in his kids life but when he is away Tameka should be allowed to take care of them instead of him leaving them with nannies or other family members.
She threatened Usher and spit on him and wonder why she doesn't have the kids.. She has to do better and then try again for custody
What did he do to provoke that type of behavior from her?
Men can be cutthroat with using the kids as pawns.
Tameka should have custody. Usher won't be there for the kids.
"He really loves MY children" shows that she is a control freak
Most females are granted primary custody and end up leaving our Children with whomever they choose. Why is this a problem whwn a man has custody?
He takes fine care of his boys.
I've never followed this story but she seems genuine and respect her honest answers .
They should just both get 50/50 custody ! That's it !!!
She is telling the truth I'm reporting THIS COMMENT
Give the kids back to Tameka shes been through enough already this story broke my heart 💔
@1:42 is he supposed to let her take his children away? He did the right thing, he should make her pay child support and all other expenses until she lives in poverty just like women do to men!
Hey give her credit for telling the truth!!!!
On what grounds did the judge base the decision to take her children from her. Did she abuse them, neglect them, not feed them, did she not provide housing for them?? Definitely was not fair ruling, the judge had to be biased.
My heart breaks for her. This is not right
I have been thru the very same as a great mother losing my kids to a man who had more money & even controlled me. Its happening all to often to mothers. I do still see my children of course but am fighting for more time.
Mega Lady how did you resolve it?
Yes if he is not around they should be with their mother instead with care giver or girlfriend
