GOSSIP: Meka Wears The Pants


I came across a hilarious photo grinded by Kwame06. It was a picture of Usher walking his dog with the caption “Does Tameka Know About This B*tch?”. The caption was referring to a story printed earlier in the week by the New York Post that claimed that Tameka Foster was upset when she found out that Usher personally picked singer Keri Hilson to play the lead in his new video “Make Love In The Club”.

According to the story grinded by Kapital One “Tameka is very insecure,” our source said. “Even in rehearsals she was weird and clearly not happy that Keri is so gorgeous. Tameka threw a lot of attitude. The day of the shoot, Tameka dressed Keri very badly - she looked like an extra. Tameka wouldn’t let Keri have her hairdresser there - she had to use the hairdresser who was doing the extras.”

Stan1748 commented “Usher should have found out what her flaw's are before he said I Do her. Usher Momma know a car accident when she see one next time listen to your Momma Usher Stan the Man.” While luvboo added:  “Of COURSE she's gunna be insecure about beautiful woman becuz beautiful, she is NOT! This pic almost looks gross to me, like that's his auntie but with her hand on his leg. EEEWWW!"

Usher’s manager released a statement that the story is completely false. Tameka will always have that bad stigma surrounding her as Usher’s fans have been very vocal about their disapproval of his relationship with Tameka.  I remember during an Essence interview, Tameka was asked how did she know Usher was the man for her, in which she replied: “I knew he was the man for me when I told him personal things about me and he didn't flinch. I never felt like he judged me. Instead, he just accepted me for who I am. I am 36 with three children so I don't have the body of a 21-year-old. I have flaws, I have an attitude problem, I never make flights and the list goes on. Overall, I have issues that a person could either love or hate, but he accepted me completely. And every day he still treats me like we just met.”

And to that, I say "Amen!"  People may not realize this but Keri Hilson is Polow Da Don’s artist. Polow produced the "Make Love In The Club” track, and I’m sure Usher put Keri as the lead in the video as a favor to Polow. Just another example of how stories get twisted out of proportion in the press..

I love this article. I love how it makes the truth come out at the very end. Apparently Usher knew her flaws way before he married her, he had to. I belive that the media has a lot to do with relationships not lasting in the hollywood lights. This article just pulls that point to the light.
