Everybody has been talking about how steamy Usher’s new video “Trading Places,” is. They have been bashing him and saying he was disrespectful to his wife. Usher lost some of his sex symbol availability when he got married hence the need to show he can still entertain every fan out there, married or not. The backlash he’s suffered is why a lot of artist don’t even admit when their married or getting married. Marriage used to be a real no no in this industry but people don’t shun it as much today as they used to. Usher is the one exception to the marriage rule, he gets no slack. He gets bad press for his marriage, his wife, his career, responsibility, his business moves, the man can’t win.
Tameka Foster Raymond is expecting the couple’s second child, and she fully stands by her man. “My husband is a consummate artist and entertainer,” Foster, 37, told ESSENCE.com. “This video is strictly entertainment and was made for his fans. I am clear that he is a sexy man and looks amazing in this clip. I support my husband in his endeavors.” After all she has papers on him and nobody else!
