Comment: I'm sure Tom will address this when he comes off vacation.

Name: ImJustSaying
Comment: HIL-LAR-RI-OUS!! Somebody better tell Ush this ain't a music video...these folks gonna hit back!

Name: ChocolateBrownGal
Comment: Ummm...shouldn't it read "TJ says SINGER threatened..."? I couldn't figure out what a SIGNER had to do with this! ROTFLMBBO!!!!! TYPO!

Name: eyesley
Comment: He leave them big dudes alone. He's @#$$*&$ with some heavyweights.

Name: Stuckinthe70s
Comment: If this is true, it could be career suicide! If these media giants stop playing his music and he continue to play a fool (firing your Momma?!!), he won't get play time, air time or record sales...

Name: Soulwriter
Comment: Who does Usher think he is,Suge Knight? Like Madea would say, "SADDOWN SOMEWHERE URSHER, SADDOWN!!!"

Name: TGen
Comment: I don't know about this story. Sounds a little fishy...and a LOT silly. I think I'll reserve judgement on its validity. That said, IF it is true, I agree with the commenter who said this could be career suicide, but not because jocks will stop playing his music, but because his IMAGE is continually to take a beating. To the mass, Usher was ultra-cool with "Yeah" and other songs. Since his engagement, seems like he's lost hella cool points. Luv is brutiful and all, but seems like he's going to find out this love thing with his fiancee is going to come at a VERY high cost. Po thang...

Comment: Being a public eye will cause gossip of whatever you do. We as African-Americans need to stop this poking fun at others expense. Usher is a young man who has climb high in his career and whatever goes on between him and his Mom, should not be public news. This damn world has nothing elese better to do but talk bad at other peoples expense. If you want to talk about something, talk about how we can save our young people, help them and give them inspiration to carry on in a harsh world.

Name: McNasty
Comment: If we can't poke fun at ourselves we're taking ourselves too seriously - the world is too serious not to laugh at - us included! So what is this boy gonna do? Spend his days when he's not recording calling folk to ask if they would stop clowning his soon to be wifey?lmao Good luck with that - he should worry when they stop talking!

Name: Southernbelle
Comment: Ursher had better toughen up and not let these jokes get to him or he'll find himself trying to dish out many azz kickings. I bet comedians have at least another six months of jokes built up in them. This is especially true if Ursher keeps this up.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: If Usher needs to toughen up..so do we. In fact, nappy-headed ho shouldn't be an issue.

Name: ez3372
Comment: Herbs...I don't see where one has to do with the other. Saying racist remarks are totally different then URsher trying to protect his fiance's feelings. But you are right...she and Usher better toughen up and get some thick skin. This is showbiz.

Name: Katso
Comment: The person Usher should be calling is Jawn Murray and kick his a$$!!!! I can’t stand him always gossiping about people and look a Damm mess himself!!!!! I guess Usher is pulling a Whitney Houston calling up radio personalities and threatening a beat down. As the saying goes no one is too good for BEAT DOWN!!!!!

Name: mydchomegirl
Comment: >Katso I happen to know Jawn Murray and he is a very nice guy. He's just doing his job as a gossip columnist. It's called INFOTAINMENT! Ease up on the brother.

Name: Southernbelle
Comment: Come on herbs, how can you really compare the two? That Imus thing was way off base. I don't know about what Wendy Williams said but Tom and Jay really didn't clown him hard. Hell, the coversation was more about the firing of his mom (so close to mother's day) than about his lady friend. Usher was just on the TJMS recently promoting something or another. If he keeps this up who's he going to call to promote his new initiatives, Ghostbusters, I don't think so. I just think he should expect this type of clowning as long as no one disrespects his lady all of this complaining is a fruitless effort.

Name: infofan1960
Comment: AS FOR ANY AND ALL OF US WHO GOSSIP AND ESPECIALLY MAKE A LIVING DOING IT: Leviticus 19:16 – “Do not go about spreading slander among your people. Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor’s life. I am the Lord.” (NIV) I'm not judging, nor casting any stones, I'm just passing along helpful info. We will have to give an account of all our idle words before a Holy God when we stand in judgement. This keeps me in check. May all of you be blessed.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: To clarify...if anyone (black or otherwise) repeats "nappy-headed ho" on air..it will be a problem. If any black host repeats n1gger, b1tch or ho on the air..it would be a problem. So, Usher calling a station asking them to hold back on the punches thrown at his fiancee (not him but his fiancee), is the one who needs to get a tougher skin. At least his is personal. We'll just be mad..just to be mad if our dj's were n1gger'n every word. He'll we'd launch a protest. But he can't say "hold your tongue about my girl?" Fk outta here! Meth had every right to call out Wendell Williams about spreading the news of his wife's cancer. Usher has the right to tell them to back off.

Name: Fran
Comment: I dont know. Usher seems immature enough to do so. He cant stand up to the women in his life; so he gets mad at everyone else. I remember reading sandrarose.com last year and he got into it with Sandra Rose. He was on tv when he approached Wendy about saying he had another girl pregnant when Confessions came out. So I would not be surprised. He is doing duets with R. Kelly and Omarion. The younger guys are on top. So I think he is at an awkward phase....and dating someone who might as well be your moma and looks the same age as your moma, doesnt help.

Name: gingerg
Comment: I agree with Usher. Though I personally believe that he could have done much better when selecting a fiance/wife, it is what it is. There's no reason to trash the woman even though she looks older than his mother.

Name: Stephanie
Comment: Man, you talk about Platinum Puzzy!!!

Name: eternallife
Comment: mustbdherbs, seriously it must be that ganja that got you this am. Someone who makes their money off of being "famous" and being in the public domain is no way related to djs calling folks nigg.as. As someone mentioned, Usher needs the airways as a means to market his products, going off on those that control the airwaves aint doing him any good.

Name: xavixavi
Comment: musb. Every1 knows Wendy is a loud mouth, and abrasive, but she has changed a bit since they fired her azz years ago. I don't believe she was being the gossip queen when she reported the cancer. It was more of a shout out to his wife and a good wish. Meth -- upset at the situation called her out, but I see that as him feeling helpless that his wife was ill.

Name: Mas90
Comment: This is just gossip. And some of you fell for it.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: Wendy Williams showing compassion? She was only wishing his wife well w/her cancer by talking about something that wasn't being discussed in the public. Oh ok...well yeah I guess you're right. Eternal...uhm..Usher can make millions w/out ever being on Tom Joyner. His career will not falter because of all people..Tom Joyner's lame azz.

Name: gingerg
Comment: Wendy Williams needs to hush. She is ugly and she's already admitted that her husband is a hoe, so she shouldn't be talking about Ursh or anyone else.

Name: yasmine1
Comment: Joyner is a joke and Wendy Williams..well peeps in glass houses should not through stones.. but Usher.. set back and check yourself.. why are you giving those folks the attention..move on with your life and get your ducks in order and stop worrying about trifilling people.

Name: MOTHERSHIP
Comment: Ursh, motherfuccka puleezzze! You got some grown azz woman puzzy, and got turned out by ol' girl who looks like a transvestite. You gonna fire moms and your publicist both of whom guided you to your present prominence. A piece a marinated, mature puzzy does not make for one to lose one's mind, especially if the ballistics kicked is da truth!

Name: Skeptical
Comment: LOL! Usher think he's on "You Got Served"! Tom don't dance, Ush better be really ready to throw hands!

Name: timmdogg
Comment: "Damn - Tameka looks like a dude"! She must got some good stuff for Usher to fire mom and claim this woman/man as his fiancee? I am not tryng to clown, but brother man could have done better than this! Hell, Whoppi looks better than this chick! Lol!

Name: yunvme
Comment: why is it that as black people WE are the ones (not the white man) saying that its all about sex? We are saying some very stereotypical things regarding this woman. Why arent we the ones saying that this must be a wonderfully smart and attractive woman instead of focusing on her magic twat? But at the same time we will curse out whiteys for thinking we are just about sex and are sexual objects. I dont get it.

Name: samdenmark
Comment: tom should be more scared of tameka than usher bunchbiscuits.com

Name: oldsoul
Comment: LMBAO @ MOTHER!!!!!! 'SHIP, give it to 'em straight. I looked at her picture and thought the same thing but I wasn't gonna say nothin'. Somebody better tell Usher to be careful with that Snapper...it'll make you act funny-- ICE COLD, Ursh, ICE COLD! LMAO...hell, I thought he was kissin' his auntie - she at least gotta be pushin' 40. Ok, I'ma lay off dude and the sista because at least it's Black love, the thing we b-i-t-c-h about being extinct when it aint. Tom Joyner and J. Anthony are two funny muhf*ckas...LOL

Name: archcookies
Comment: Laughing, I'd like to see him take on J Anthony Brown.

Name: gingerg
Comment: Mother, why the woman got to look like a transvestite today? LOL!

Name: Train
Comment: Any cat that get's married to a recently divorced woman with kid's at that is p'ussywhipped to the 9th degree. That young boy better run the otehr way and wait until he's in his mid-late 30's to finally settle down. He'll save a lot financially along the way.....what a sucker!!!!

Name: gingerg
Comment: yunve, because she is not an attractive woman. she really does look like man. Seriously, though. I think people preferred Chilli for him because she is younger and cuter (at least by most people's standards). It is his decision and he is the one who has to live with Tameka. A relationship should be about more than physical appearance.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: So black men shouldnt' marry divorcee's w/children? Lawd, I wonder what the responses would've been if he were engaged to a hot azz yt woman. I appreciate a black man sticking up for his unatrractive, worn-puzzy, children-having, old as.s black woman. At least I do...

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: my bad...and man-looking black woman.

Name: gingerg
Comment: Mus, it is the age difference that is tripping these people out. If he had married Chilli and she had 3 kids by 3 different men, nothing would be said. Then again, she doesn't look like a man.

Name: katgrrrl
Comment: I hope, for Usher's sake, that this hasn't set off some real mess. Now that people know that Usher's so sensitive about his relationship, it could be open season on a brother. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised as Usher's been in this business for so long. I'd think he might be able to turn his back on any insignificant rumors. Unless there's some truth to what folks are saying...

Name: MOTHERSHIP
Comment: Ginger, now you know ol' he/she was born with that cloth! Not just today, erryday. Naw, it's not the age thang. Ol' girl is a straight barracuda that's gonna do nothin' but bring him down. Hooka looks gully and full of deceit. Straight up shady to me. I wouldn't trust let alone fucck!

Name: Train
Comment: After all if she could cheat on her then husband with Usher, what could keep her from cheating on him????? He's p'ussywhipped big time. His Pops should sit him down and have a "talk" with him about this move.

Name: gingerg
Comment: Ursh better hush. Tom Joyner and them will open the lines and invite the listeners to offer commentary on Tameka. Think he's upset now? That would make Ursh cry.

Name: cornbread
Comment: FUKK THAT PUNK AZZ USHER AND HIS OLD WRINGLED PUUSSY BIITCH. MAN, I WISH HE WOULD CALL ME UP AND SAY HE GON' KICK MY AZZ. MAN, I WOULD FUKK THAT NEGGA UP CUZZ. HE DON'T WANT NONE OF THIS. I SWEAR THAT NEGGA WOULD NEVER SEE ANOTHER STAGE WHEN I GET THROUGH WITH HIS AZZ CUZZ. YOU WANNA WHUP SOMEBODY AZZ? COME FUKK WIT A NEGGA CUZZ.

Name: DCGG
Comment: So when's the new Usher CD coming out and what's the theme this time around?

Name: gingerg
Comment: You never hear anything about his daddy. Who IS his daddy?

Name: gingerg
Comment: Mother, now you know we don't say anything when a sister hooks up with a younger man (i.e., Halle and that fine Gabriel, yes, I said it).

Name: MOTHERSHIP
Comment: GingerG, you know I couldn't give a rats azz, old young, young old, but hooka be shady and you are correct, they let them phone lines open, and dude will really have somethin' to holla about! CTFU!

Name: Mas90
Comment: TRAIN... the things is it. Watch...Tameka will cheat on him so this comes to an end. It's already been planned. It's just to show Usher is like some of us. He falls in love (not really) with an old old old older woman (sorry curser got stuck) which he took ((not) Tameka, could u sign right here). Then Usher will say I should've listen to my heart but you know how it is when u fall in love. Then he smiles. WHATEVER

Name: Mas90
Comment: DCGG... theme should be marriage most likely.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: Ginger...no it's not. It's because ya'll think she's ugly. That's the real reason. If Usher were dating Halle..none of this talk would be going on. I'm simply amazed that seemingly intelligent, progressive, black women are knocking a brotha (who can have ANY fine broad he wants) down for 1)speaking up for his woman 2) dating an older woman who is physically less than what he can get. I swear..if this shyt don't speak volumes and ain't none of ya'll concerned bout his career.

Name: Train
Comment: She's a good looking woman don't get me wrong but if he was my son I would advise his to not marry a recently divorced woman with a bunch of kids..word up. He's still at the point of his career where the chips are coming in and he wants to take care of somebody else kid's? Oh hell noooo!!!!!!! It's not about her being older either but all of those dayum kid's...even if it was Halle and she doens't like brothas.

Name: gingerg
Comment: Mus, you know I said one nice thing today - relationships shouldn't be solely about physical appearance. And I believe that. Evenso, nobody really wants an ugly partner. However, when you balance things about, it would be better to have an average looking, faithful partner than a cutie who is running around. Look at how they are clowning A-Rod in New York about being caught with a blonde who looks like a man over the weekend.

Name: Mas90
Comment: never marry someone with kids if you have none yo self!

Name: Mas90
Comment: The cuties are hard to keep. Mas90 would know since I'm a pretty boy too.

Name: Southernbelle
Comment: Personally, I could care less about what his woman looks like. He has to live with her not me. But, with all of the controversy surrounding his relationship with her he shouldn't be surprised that he's become a comedian's punchline. Whether that's right or wrong is debatable but in his profession it's a fact.

Name: gingerg
Comment: Personally, I don't want anyone cute or otherwise that I have to use gps to keep track of. Either I can trust you or I can't. Period.

Name: MonieinDC
Comment: -Soulwriter - Thank you for the laugh!!! I love Madea and I could hear her voice when I read your post, ROTFLMBO!!!

Name: mydchomegirl
Comment: To the Tom Joyner haters, TJ has helped a whole lot of students stay in college and he is a strong advocate of HBCU's. How many nationally known Radio Personalities have given back to the black community on his level? He and Sinbad have revived alot of "old skool" artists careers with cruises and live concert dates. So don't hate appreciate!

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: dchome...ain't nobody hating on Tom's lame azz.

Name: gingerg
Comment: Ursh's career is just fine. He can sing/dance and he just came off of a great run on Broadway in Chicago.

Name: katgrrrl
Comment: Cornbread = Larissa/Bootz of "Flavor of Love: Charm School"!?!?!?!?

Name: katgrrrl
Comment: Hey, who knows? Maybe the physical beauty that she's lacking is balanced out by her inner beauty. Maybe that's what Ursh fell so deeply in Love with. Naaaaah! And now for my next comment... I got e-jumped for sayin' this last time. But who cares, here it comes again. PRE-NUP!!!!!!!

Name: DOne
Comment: I'm with musbs on this one. He speaking up for his woman, that's what he is suppose to do. Maybe he could have done it differently. So what if she's older. Actually Tom is the last person to be making jokes about who someone marries because does he really think he would have had a shot with his much younger, fine wife if he wasn't a celebrity with money in the bank.

Name: gingerg
Comment: Train, where did you get the notion that Halle doesn't like brothers? And Tameka only has three kids -so far-. I don't know if that qualifies as a bunch.

Name: gingerg
Comment: DOone, you are wrong for that, especially on the man's website! LOL!

Name: gingerg
Comment: Omar Epps and his Keisha (from Total)were on the cover of Jet last week. The interviewer basically asked what made their marriage work (i.e., why the he11 aren't you still with that fine Sanaa). He responded that he had known Keisha for a long time and she was the first woman that he'd had a bonafide friendship. That means a lot when you're trying to establish a solid foundation for a relationship. Looks can come and go.

Name: DOne
Comment: >gingerg, now you know I'm right. Do anyone really thinks Donna Richardson would have given Tom a second look if he wasn't worth millions. How you going to make run of the age difference between two people when you yourself have someone at home who looks like she should be dating one of your kids. older guy, young attractive wife, young sons, Tom better be careful lol

Name: TesticAl
Comment: Damn, now nig-gers in here are mad at Usher for protecting his bich? What's next? It's hard to keep people at ease on this board. I'm surprised you guys aren't up in arms at the guy for talking about Usher's fiancee. You guys were MADD AND RILED up at that dj who THREATENED to get dude's kid (I forget the story at the time). Why is Joyner getting a pass and the shots are being directed towards Usher? Some of y'all make me sick! LOL!

Name: gingerg
Comment: You are just wicked DOne!

Name: SweetieDarlin
Comment: DOne and Musbe, couldn't have said it better myself. He should be able to defend his woman, we act like we would not have done the same thing under the guise of 'well he's famous.' Does famous equate with not human? BTW way is it that every darn man who sings or is an actor is constantly being accused of being gay? Is it wishful thinking on some people's behalf?????

Name: gingerg
Comment: So what you are saying is that he should be careful or he may find another mule kicking in his stall as an old blues singer once sang?

Name: gingerg
Comment: Testical, did we ever get to the part where what was actually said about Tameka was revealed? Light hearted jokes are ok. Insults are not because I'm sure they would not appreciate anyone talking about their woman.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: DOne..HELLZ YEAH! I forgot his azz was married. I remember when they got hitched..I said.."how in the hell" but then I thought again. For the love of money..lol SD..on one hand...we say celebrities should be treated no different than us..on the other..it's par for the course. That's why I don't trip when celebrities get off on shyt most of us would be jailed for. It is par for the course ain't it? And yes...I'm sure some homos are biting their nails waiting to get the juice on Ush. Probably Jawn Murray's gay azz...lol

Name: TesticAl
Comment: gingerg, no to answer your first question. Still, even though I don't care, Usher is being attacked on here for protecting his broad. I just want the game to be fair. THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE, if Denzel was in the same situation as Usher, NOBODY, and I MEAN NOBODY ON THIS BOARD would be attackting him in ANY fashion. The women on here don't like Usher's broad (that's ok too), but don't attact him for standing up for his girl. Ya DIG.

Name: chatttown
Comment: Usher is a public person. He is subject to any and all words from the public(fans). I am from his home town Chattanooga, Tennessee not his want to be home town ATL. As far as his father goes it is rumored that his is not in his life as a matter of fact he in the slammer.

Name: gingerg
Comment: I guess there's nothing wrong with protecting the honor of your woman, but you can't call around threating to kick folks azz and Tom Joyner has no reason to lie on Ursh.

Name: gingerg
Comment: I emphatically disagree with the comments about money! If that were the case, one could simply stay x number of years, start showing out, get a divorce and claim half or more. If you stay longer than that, it is because you want to and there is something deeper than the almighty dollar keeping you there. I mean, you can only shop so long before that becomes boring. Look at that lush Lindsey Lohan.

Name: TesticAl
Comment: gingerg, I feel you. All I am saying is, for the most, people don't like Usher's chick (BECAUSE OF HER AGE & KIDS), so it's ok to talk about her. Let that be someone they like and this board would be quoting Bible verses (Someone already quoted one) and protesting against whoever said something about someone they liked. Like I said earlier, call it the same for both teams.

Name: gingerg
Comment: Oh, people think mama is manipulating young Ush and using him to take care of another man's children. I see.....

Name: DOne
Comment: >TesticAl, when the story first broke a while back I expected folk would be more supportive. I was thinking women would think if she can do it, so can I, but instead most attacked.

Name: DOne
Comment: Gingerg, I partially agree with you about the money, but sometimes with these ironclad prenups, folk have to stay a while in order to get anything. In some states, if the marriage last a certain number of years, the prenup becomes invalid. That why there are folk like Donald Trump and Tom Cruise who will divorce right before they have to pay out any real money.

Name: nightshift
Comment: That punk ain't gonna whip nobody's a$$. He's gonna hire someone to do it for him if he has his way. Men with money seldom want to get their hands dirty. Ursh' is onley dangerous to a preschooler without an all-day-sucker!!
