Popular singer, Usher has come out to open up about the criticism he faced from fans when he tied the knot with his first wife, Tameka Foster back in 2007. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Tameka was a dark-skinned woman when he married her, and it was clear that his female fans were judgmental of the woman that he chose to settle down with.
Usher added that he and his ex wife remain cordial till today, and they are both doing their best to raise their 2 kids.
His words, “I think I became very closed and then felt attacked in many ways.
It was a bit unconventional in a time when I felt like my female fans were judgmental of the woman that I chose.
She was a dark-skinned woman, and maybe they didn’t want to love her in a way because of maybe some reason that had to do with themselves.
I don’t know. Or maybe she was not the best reference because of how she handled herself.
That’s not for me to be concerned about. I did my part and what I thought was right.
We are cordial with each other. We ain’t good, good, but we good. You know what I’m saying?
It’s an 18-year process of which we all understand that, and we’re doing our best to raise two responsible, respectful, and happy children.”
WOW.
