Usher’s Ex-Wife Writes About Mourning Son’s Death and Fighting Usher For Custody
Tameka Foster Raymond Writes About Burying Her 11-Year-Old Son and Fighting For Custody of Her Other Two Sons
After laying her 11-year-old son Kile Glover to rest, Tameka Foster Raymond took to the web earlier this month to thank her supporters for their prayers and well wishes. She also described her heartache and frustrations of fighting R&B superstar, Usher Raymond IV, in court for custody of their two children, Usher Raymond V and Naviyd Ely Raymond, while mourning the death of Kile Glover.
On Kile Glover:
“I truly believe that he has always been an angel from birth and the world was just too small to contain a spirit so vast. I’m thankful and blessed to merely be the vessel that carried him and humbled that God gave him to us to love.”
On fighting for custody of Usher and Naviyd while mourning Kile’s death:
“Sadly, I remain in the unfortunate position of having to respond to and attend court proceedings that were not initiated or begun by me. I did not file this custody case (January 2011) and was content with the ‘joint custody’ arrangement that we share. Most importantly, nor do I wish to appear in court while I am mourning the loss of my son. But I do not want to delay and thus prolong these proceedings either; I’d rather continue this arduous process hoping it will help move me through this most difficult period in my life.”
On the media and her four (living) sons:
“This may sound really cliché but you must NOT believe everything you read or hear and never judge… especially without solid facts and always, but always consider the source. Discernment is key. My boys are my entire world and I will fight tooth and nail to keep all of my sons together as a family, I pray for a swift, peaceful resolution so that we all can move forward.”
I am not sure about this! I mean I’m still uncertain as to why she wasn’t with her son the day he was killed! Why is Usher fighting her for the custody of the kids? Is she unfit? Tameka needs to candid and just come out and say it!!! R.I.P. to Kile, so sad no one was looking out for him that day!!!
Because Kile and Usher had a good relationship. Why does it have to be anything more than that?
Your comment is sick. I’m a mother of four. If I decide to send my children with someone that I trust and one of them is hurt clearly that wouldn’t make me unfit. Don’t be so quick to judge when none of us know the facts.
Nikkie, I completely agree with you. Really!!! Why must she be unfit. Maybe Usher is filing for custody so that he can be in his childrens lives on a daily basis without having to deal with the mother. This women is going through the worst grief any person could ever endure. Trying to place the blame on her is so vile and ugly. This could have happened to anyone’s child. It was an accident. No mother can watch their child every second of the day. This could have happened with her right next to him.
Why is she talking. Smh
Why is there so much judgement on this woman? There are MANY times when a parent is not with their child when that child is harm. Think about it. A child can be physically harm at school where the parent is not present. Stop with the nonsense about “Where was Tameka when Kile was injured?” Why don’t you just say, “I hate this b***h and have no sympathy for her over the lost of her son.” Sighs. SMDH.
Preach Renee. Despite what was happening with Tameka and Usher, Kile and Usher reportedly had a good relationship. I’ve never understood the hate against her. Just leave her alone.
Touching story, too bad she’s lying. She took Usher back to court because he cut off her saks account, and would not provide nanny support. Those are the reasons she listed in the court documents as justifying why she wanted to sever the joint custody and have sole custody. What else has to happen before she gets a clue.
I am REALLY sick of Tameka and all of her drama. The child has been buried and life goes on. Stop whining. Go on to court and get it over with and SHUT THE h**l UP!! Geeez.
REALLY????STOP WHINING!!!!YOU SHOULD BE ASHAME OF YOURSELF! I HOPE YOU NEVER HAVE TO BURY A CHILD OR MAYBE YOU HATE CHILDREN SMDH
May the child R.I.P.
I am a mother…when my children were young, I was responsible if anything happened to one of them…point blank. As a parent you make the decisions and sometimes things happen…it’s sad she lost her child…I can’t imagine her pain.

My prayers to the family of Ms. Foster and Mr. Raymond!!!!
Aside from my being a fan of Usher. My heart goes out to Ms. Foster. Never lost a child but knows the pain of being a parent sometimes. I would hope that she would be advised to just take some time to heal. She is grieving and not in a good place as of yet. Just be still.
She might need to talk to help ease the pain. A pain that will be with her as long as she lives. I don’t know why there is a custody case, nor do I want to know. I just pray that it all comes out fair and fine.
A parent shouldn’t have to bury their child
