Chilli Admits Secretly Hooking Up with Usher for Over a Decade


TLC rapper Chilli admits after breaking up with Usher in 2003, she secretly hooked up with him for years until breaking it off for good in 2019...

"I have never experienced anything like this," she tells PEOPLE in this week's issue, opening up about her happy life now with boyfriend Matthew Lawrence, 43, ahead of the premiere of Lifetime's new documentary TLC Forever. It is the first high-profile relationship the singer, 52, has had since famously dating Usher from 2001-2004. "We definitely had some chemistry," she says, when asked about her time with the R&B star. "But working chemistry does not mean it works in your personal life. If we were working, it was great. But outside of that, we're so different."
Noting how fans rooted for them as a couple, she says, "It looked great, but in real life ... he knew he had to be a certain way with me and he couldn't."
While she denies rumors that his hit breakup album Confessions is about her ("I was with him at the studio that whole time"), the couple still wasn't meant to be, she says due to differing values and trust issues. Still, they remained off and on for years, reconnecting when they weren't in other relationships. "I love hard," says Chilli. "I was like, 'God, why can't I get over this?’ He couldn't either." Leaning on her Christian faith, she eventually cut off contact for good in 2019 "to focus on myself," she says. "I even stopped dating. Because before that I thought if I met the right guy during that time that I wasn't over [Usher] it wouldn't work. I would never want to straddle the fence."

Fun Fact: Usher was married to Tameka Raymond from 2007 to 2009 and he was married to Grace Harry from 2015 to 2018.

This is something she should have kept to herself she clearly showing now cuz she trying to make a point. He married everyone but you! Talking bout he had to be a certain way with you as if you had standards or something you been a creeping keep it on the down low secret for 18 years seems like the only why he had to be with you was in secret and clearly at night and through the back door cuz nobody even caught wind if this mess.

In the United States, about 1 in every 6 people ages 14 to 49 have genital herpes. If you are knowingly dealing with someone that has it, it's safe to say that you do too, or you don't mind getting it. And who says that?? So yeah, a lot of people have it, and so does Chilli. And probably that guy you met at the club or church too. Lol

That’s not surprising but Chili should really stop over sharing. That was no one’s business and all she did was block further blessings. Usher never denied the herpes allegations. Any women jumping to get in bed with him all get a side eye like Yaya Mayweather and NBA Youngboy. No darn self love!
Chili, please shut up and enjoy your relationship with Mathew.

She always came off too self righteous, as if she had standards when really she just comes off as a delayed desperate bird who wants to relive her childhood relationships and crushes.

We all heard and seen their movie before. Now this new Liftetime movie is coming out I guess she is trying to draw some new interest for veiwing.
The way Reed and his wife stole from them I'm surprise there was any money left outside of touring.

I’ve had men who were always in my life no matter what else we were doing. Would never tell anyone (my good friends know). Too many people would be hurt.

The stories this guy could tell.

Now she resents the time spent and the youth lost on a man that she can never have. Next move is to start snitchin on said man. It happened to Usher like it happened to me. What’s wrong with these broads.

Chili is to fine to be behaving like this.

Wait, Usher was married to Tamika and Grace during those years. When a man continues to bed a woman but not marry her it is because he doesn't trust her. No way I'd go from main thing to hidden.

Some of you didn't hear what she said. They didn't have the same values in common and that's why she didn't want to be in a serious relationship with him. They just wanted each other for side pieces.
