Usher vs Mummy Usher

Post categories:

Mistajam | 12:50 UK time, Thursday, 10 May 2007



What is it with Usher and the women in his life?

It's been confirmed that Usher has fired his mum who has been his manager since the start of his career. Why? Because she doesn't get on well with his fiancee. Usher is denying this is the case, saying in a statement 'She [his mum] and I are on great terms and support each other in our life's endeavors'; he believes by separating his 'business and personal life' that he can have his mother strictly as his mother, 'with no added pressure'.

Now, Usher's been off the scene for a hot minute now and has only recently resurfaced on the Omarion Icebox remix and on R.Kelly's Same Girl - do you think that such a major change will have an impact on his future career? After all, Mummy Usher is credited with having managed him since the start of it all - creating 'Usher' as we know him (in more ways than one!)

Will he be able to knock the also-mummy-managed Justin Timberlake off the top spot as current Prince of R&B without his strong support network? Will we see an unrecognisable Usher when he comes back as he hasn't got his mum holding the reins? What do you think?

    Usher is the man and he will be able to make it, i think its a good idea that he has seperated his relationship with his mother because that can cause a lot of friction mixing bussiness and family life as you get older. Usher loves his mom and nothing will ever change that. Usher will come back with something hot and banging and it will blow all your socks off. Love You Usher Raymond

    That is a plus, and gives more credit to an ideal decision to enhance his growth as an Artist.

    It is about time that he reveals himself anew.

    Yo, Ushers just teasing everyone out there with his well awaited album. Rumour has it he will be back on the spot before we know it, and it may even be sometime this year! Lets be honest... J.T if deffinately good at what he does but who wouldnt be with the help of Timberland? Ushers been the main man since he first hit us up with his 8701 album and to date, J.T still hasnt managed to touch Ushers talents, both as a vocalist and as a dancer!

    Watch the space for Usher. And as the man says himeself.. 'let the young guns think their King.. The Kings not far away!'

    I think that Usher will be able to pull it off, because he has always came back stronger than ever. Not only is he is multi talented, but also he is a very mature singer.
