Usher Ready to Fire His Momager?


Tameka Raymond must be really putting it on Usher cause they say he bout to fire his mama as his manager and hire Tameka in her place. You know Jonetta and Tameka never got along, ever since Jonetta fired Tameka as Usher's stylist back in the day. This is getting so messy and I so love it....

From The NY Daily
Mom to be Ushered out as manager? Usher could have quite a Mother's Day surprise for his mom, Jonetta Patton. The R&B superstar may be easing her out as his manager, according to insiders. The muscle behind the push is said to be Usher's fiancee, Tameka Foster. "They definitely don't get along," one spy tells us. "Tameka came to Jonetta's birthday on April 6. They hugged and posed for photos, but it was all for the cameras." The rift dates back to when Jonetta encouraged Usher to fire Tameka as his stylist. "Tameka went on the radio and took some shots at Jonetta," says a source. But Usher, 28, still liked Tameka, 38, and vice versa. In fact, she ended up leaving her husband for him. (Reps are denying she's pregnant.)
"Tameka has a hold over him," says one friend. "Nobody can figure it out. Some people think he may make Tameka his manager." Execs at Jive, Usher's label, are said to be concerned. "They think Jonetta's done an incredible job with his career. They're encouraging her to take on Britney Spears." A rep for Usher scoffed at talk that he's firing his mom: "I don't know of any management changes at this time."
