As Usher and girlfriend Jennifer Goicoechea prepare for the arrival of their second child together, a new memoir from Tameka Foster Raymond is on the way. The fashion stylist has a long list of celebrity clients including Jay-Z, Aaliyah, Ginuwine, and Lauryn Hill, but the anticipation of her autobiography creates a buzz about how much of her relationship with the Grammy-winning singer will make the cut.
Usher and Tameka were wed from 2007 to 2009 and share two sons together, and later, the pair made headlines over their bitter custody battle. They both testified against one another in court as they relayed scathing accusations, and following their acrimonious split, they’ve clearly moved on. Now, they are happily co-parenting as the blended family expands.
According to reports, Tameka’s memoir Here I Stand… in a Beautiful State arrives on Tuesday (July 27), and inside, she’s set to share stories about her personal relationships with the rich and famous as well as bringing clarity to the rumors about her relationship with Usher that have plagued her for over a decade.
“After several years of contemplating writing about her life, she decided to write a book after having a conversation with three women on a beach in Bali,” a press release reads, according to AceShowbiz. “As they spoke, they learned who Raymond’s ex-husband was and they were insistent there was no way she could be who she said she was because his wife had died.”
“They were referring to her near-death experience in Brazil, which has been grossly misreported in the media,” it continues. “After that hilarious and memorable conversation on the beach, Raymond knew she had to write a book. It was time to clear up all the rumors and outright lies about her fashion career, her marriage, and her parenting.”
In 2012, Tameka suffered a devastating loss when her 11-year-old son Kile Glover tragically passed away following a jetski accident on Lake Lanier in Georgia. She reportedly added that the memoir isn’t just about her split from her superstar ex-husband and the loss of her son, but “readers are going to laugh,” as well.
The title of Tameka’s book is also a nod to her ex as Usher’s fifth studio album released in 2008 during their marriage was titled Here I Stand. Check out a trailer for Tameka Foster’s memoir below.

We’re in the thick of Summer and celebrities have been showing off their best vacation lifestyles. Diddy has hosted a few star-studded events this year, and his famous friends are taking full advantage now that the worst of the pandemic restrictions have ended. There are still concerns regarding the new, quickly traveling strains of COVID-19 wreak havoc, but that hasn’t stopped partiers from making the most of their freedom.
It may be a Monday (July 26) evening, but it is just as good of a time as any to attend a rager at what is reported to be Diddy’s Miami mansion. Clips of the Hip Hop mogul’s exclusive get-together has begun making the rounds and it includes Ciroc, loud music, a red light atmosphere and…Bow Wow acting as DJ. Sort of.
Diddy is seen having a great time along with others including Conway The Machine and Yung Miami while a sea of women is spotted showing off their twerking skills. The “Love” experience is back in action, and it’s suspected that there are plenty more events like this lined up as Diddy prepares for the epic rollout of his next album, Off The Grid Vol 1.
What we can expect from the Bad Boy icon’s forthcoming effort remains a mystery, as do his collaborators, but we’ll keep you updated. Check out a few videos from Diddy’s party below.
It’s been quite a weekend for Tory Lanez and now his birthday shenanigans have officially begun. The controversial Toronto artist has pushed forward past the naysayers and negativity to return with a new project, his We Outside EP.

The broken marriage between Safaree Samuels and Erica Mena once again found itself as a top trend tonight (July 26) during the airing of the latest episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. It was only back in October 2019 that Safaree and Erica exchanged vows in front of reality television cameras, but their wedded bliss has come to an end. While the world has already been informed of their divorce and marital woes, Love & Hip Hop viewers are watching what unfolded outside of the headlines.
Erica recently gave birth to the couple’s newborn son, but on the VH1 series, she was still pregnant and caring for their daughter Safire. In a segment, the couple was together in the studio when Safire suffered a slight mishap when she fell and a guitar landed on her.
A pregnant Erica got up to care for a crying Safrire, but Safaree is seen sitting adjacent to them laughing at his little girl’s tumble. Erica called him out for not jumping to the tot’s rescue but Safaree seemed to play it off as if he knew she was okay. After The Neighborhood Talk reposted the scene, the rapper jumped in the comments to suggest that not all is what it seems.
“Damnn the voice over for this scene almost made it seem real,” he added in the comments with laughing emojis. Still, people weren’t amused and Safaree received quite a bit of backlash. Check it out below.
The latest Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus has the world once again in a panic about the pandemic. Although citizens who have received a vaccine can still contract COVID, it is has been widely reported that the majority of patients in hospitals who have tested positive are unvaccinated. Many have opted to not share their vaccination status with the public, but rapper Dess Dior has taken to social media to reveal that she has recently been told she has COVID-19.
We often see Dess posting photos of herself traveling alongside Future, heading to nightclubs with her famous friends, jet-setting from one vacation spot to the next, or taking to concert stages as she did at Rolling Loud Miami this past weekend. She performed in front of a crowd of thousands, not including Rolling Loud employees and her team, so she issued a warning to people she came close to in recent days.
“I don’t think I have Covid but ima get tested to be safe,” she tweeted yesterday (June 25) before offering a follow-up today. “Update: I tested positive for Covid & everybody who’s been in contact with me should go get tested asap.”
In other Dess Dior news, there have been rumors that she and Future may be on the rocks as gossip about infidelity plagues both artists. They haven’t had many public appearances together since the end of May, fueling speculation about the status of their romance. Check out Dess’s tweet, along with a few out-and-about clips from the rapper, below.
All he had to do was say he wanted a sit-down with Tekashi 6ix9ine and Wack 100 got his wish. The famed Hip Hop manager has often commented on the goings-on within the culture, and he had had quite a bit to say regarding scandals involving 6ix9ine. Earlier this year, Wack 100 rejected the rainbow-haired rapper’s “snitch” label, instead saying that 6ix9ine is a teller of truths.
In recent weeks, Wack 100 has been trying to facilitate a boxing match between 6ix9ine and Blueface, an artist that he manages. Later, he put it out to the public that he wanted a face-to-face chat with the former Nine Trey associate, and thanks to Akademiks, it looks as if it actually went down.
Akademiks is developing a new platform in the form of his own podcast and he’s kicking things off with a bang. Although there have yet to be audio clips of this Wack 100-6ix9ine meet-up shared, a photo shows that these two commanding forces may have been at odds at least once during the conversation.
Along with the picture was a brief clip of the trio together as they posed for press and social media photos. This should be an interesting discussion and Hip Hop fans are curious as to what 6ix9ine has to say, especially on the heels of his most recent back-and-forth beef with Blueface following the California rapper revealing his head tattoo.
“The first episode of my new Podcast is filmed. Now being edited,” Akademiks tweeted. “Y’all better welcome me nicely to this podcast space. I came here for straight chaos and to be #1 [scorpion emojis].” Check out the teasers below.
Yes, we are once again reporting on DaBaby’s now-infamous Rolling Loud Miami moment, but this time, we’ve all received an explanation from the rapper, himself. The internet has been up in arms about DaBaby’s remarks during his performance this past weekend, causing many to call the rapper homophobic while accusing him of perpetuating outdated stigmas associated with HIV/AIDS.
“If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up,” said DaBaby during his set. “Ladies, if your pussy smell like water, put your cellphone light in the air. Fellas, if you ain’t sucking d*ck in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up.”
The comments caused quite the stir as T.I. supported the North Carolina artist, stating that if Lil Nas X can live in his truth then why can’t DaBaby express himself. T.I.’s nemesis Sabrina Peterson came forward to disagree, as did Amber Rose, Love & Hip Hop‘s Bobby Lytes, and Pose actress Indya Moore. DaBaby shared a brief clip of himself discussing the controversy where he stated that the internet has no business commenting on what he does at his live concerts.
“This weak ass internet sh*t one time and I’mma get back to givin’ love to my fans,” said DaBaby in his video. “What me and my fans do at the live show, it don’t concern you n*ggas on the internet, or you bitter b*tches on the internet. It’s not y’all business. What I do for the live show is for the audience at the live show. It’ll never translate correctly to somebody looking at a little five, six-second clip from they goddamn crib on they phone. It just don’t work like that.”
“Regardless of what… the internet done twisted up my mothaf*ckin’ words. All my fans at the show, the gay ones and the straight ones, we turned the f*ck up.” DaBaby added that there was a male fan with a crop top on rapping along to his lyrics and having a good time, so critics need to “shut the f*ck up,” especially those that weren’t in attendance.
This doubling down of his comments has caused backlash once again. Watch DaBaby’s clip below and read through a few reactions.
A shooting at a small party in Texas turned deadly after a guest opened fire. Americans have had months of becoming reacclimated with outside events and one of the first things that many people are taking advantage of is hosting parties and get-togethers at private residences. However, with the lift in restrictions comes a rise in violent crimes, and a tragic incident occurred in Fort Worth in the wee hours of Monday (July 26) morning.
According to reports, a “small gathering” was disrupted when someone, for some unknown reason, got upset. They left the party only to return with another person before setting off an argument with several others. Then, the trouble starter pulled out a gun and shot another guest. The injury proved to be non-fatal.
Immediately, guests are said to have given chase to the shooter, but instead of surrendering, they turned and opened fire. Guests began picking up “landscaping stones and bricks” to defend themselves and hurled them at the gunman. This didn’t initially stop the person from shooting “at least two more people,” including one person who was later pronounced dead.
“What we’re saying is some of the people picked up what we call stone pavers. What you line your driveway with points on them. That was something they initially could get,” said Tracy Carter of the Fort Worth Police Department. “I don’t want to say maybe used as defense, but that’s what they were able to throw at the gunman.”
“They either caught him, or he fell to the ground,” Carter added. “And at that time, he lost his life what we believe by stones. The [medical examiner] is going to have to determine that.” He advised citizens to call the authorities and not to chase after an armed gunman. At this time, no one has been charged with a crime related to the shooter’s death, but that could change in the future. Do you think investigators should pursue charges?
