    People hated Usher being married to Tameka. The two things I kept hearing was that she was too old for Usher and she was not pretty enough to be his wife. Some people though that if Usher was going marry someone she need to look like Chili or some supermodel. Not knowing that he was really good friends with Tameka and she was his stylist for many years. He fell in love with who she was as a person. I'm glad that they are cool though. Just co- parenting. It was when

      Exactly they hated the fact that she did not fit who they envisioned Usher marrying. I loved him with Chili but it did not work out, the hate Tameka got was wrong. I am glad they are able to co parent their kids after going through a rough custody battle. I could see why that happened given how her son died and then having a close call with another child but they worked things out.

    I remember how awful people were to Tameka. Even once it was known she'd been around as a friend they still kept going. They REALLY harped on her being too old (Chili is the same age as her and even mentioned HIM being too young 😑) and the money. Then there was his mother allegedly not liking her. And so on. It was absolutely wrong how she was treated.

      I think the issues with Usher’s mother is what ultimately led people to not like her. Usher and his mother were so close and when she decline to attend their wedding, people took notice of that. It also didn’t help that Usher fired his mother as his manager after they got married. Whenever someone asked Usher about that he always got so defensive it made people think that Tameka must have something to do with it.

      well his mom was the problem and i think even if she and chili are about the same age chili doesn't look her age. chili was cuter harsh to say i know but that plays a part to so she suited him better.
