Usher

Usher

Posted July 9, 2012
Date of Birth: 
Saturday, October 14, 1978
Birth Location: 
Chattanooga, Tennessee

Usher Terry Raymond IV moved with his mother and brother to Atlanta at the age of 12 and two years later secured a recording contract with LaFace Records. He faced true stardom and was marked as a real R&B star in the late 1990s with the release of his second album “My Way”, which produced his first Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit, "Nice & Slow". Today, Usher is making a transition into the world of Pop music but still making sure he serenades us with those vocals in his hit songs such as "DJ Got Us Falling in Love", "OMG", "Climax" and "There goes my baby". He has also played an active role in launching the career of new artists such as pop star Justin Beiber. It is undeniable that Usher has faced abundant success but the same cannot be said about his love life. He is currently facing a very public child custody battle with his ex-wife Tameka Foster after divorcing her back in 2009. He is seeking full custody of his two sons from Tameka accusing her of being unstable, while Foster's attorneys have attempted to reveal Usher's philandering ways as the cause of her depression. It was also revealed in court that Usher has had sexual relations with one of the bridesmaids from the couple's 2007 wedding. While in the midst of his personal life facing great turmoil, Usher is still hitting us with club bangers featuring in songs like “Let me See It” and “Touching you” with Rick Ross.
