Tameka Foster Seeks to Drain Georgia Lake Where Her and Usher’s Son Died

*Usher’s ex-wife Tameka Foster launched a Change.org petition to “drain, clean, restore and improve safety measures at Lake Lanier,” where her 11-year-old son Kyle Glover died in 2012.

Since then, Foster notes in her petition that there have been “multiple tragic incidents that have resulted in the loss of innocent lives” at the location, People reports. 

“Lake Lanier has a dark and sordid past, marked by multiple tragic incidents that have resulted in the loss of innocent lives. One such incident involves the heartbreaking loss of my son 11-year-old Kile Glover, whose life was tragically taken in an avoidable JetSki incident. The Department of Natural Resources testified in court that the perpetrator should have been cited, but timely action was not taken,” the petition states. 

“This incident, among others, underscores the urgent need for proper zoning, safety, and complete overhaul measures within the lake,” the petition continues. “The lake’s construction over a city has resulted in altered current patterns that pose significant dangers to those enjoying water-based activities. The unique circumstances created by the lake’s location require a proactive approach to enhance safety measures and prevent accidents.”

Foster’s goal is to “ensure the well-being of all individuals engaging in personal watercraft and recreational activities.”

Foster’s petition has received over 3,300 signatures out of its current goal of 5,000,

Foster’s son Kile died in June 2012 after being struck by a jet ski while floating in an inner tube on the lake. She admitted in a 2021 interview that she spent years in denial about the death of her son, whom she shares with her ex-husband Ryan Glover.

“It took a long time to get here. I probably figured this out in the last year. I spent 10 years not believing it, in denial, still throwing parties, you know what I mean,” she previously shared on the “Tamron Hall” show.

“I would give the most huge something on his birthday. I would go in, like rent a whole museum and start this and balloons and we’d have food and cake and performances. Like I would go crazy about this thing I was like, ‘This is my right, he’s still here!’ I definitely wasn’t in this space,” Foster continued. “It took a while, it took many losses and me replaying all these different things for me to say, ‘our lives are predestined.’ I think our path has already been decided. What we’re going to be, what we’re going to do is already in God’s hands.”
