Usher Celebrates Wife Jennifer During Date Night at New York Benefit Event

Usher and his wife, Jennifer Goicoechea Raymond, enjoyed a date night on June 11 at the Apollo Spring Benefit 2024, where the R&B legend, 45, was honored with the Icon Award. It’s good to see Usher out and about, celebrating his better half! The couple, who married in February, arrived hand-in-hand and posed for photos on the red carpet. Usher wore a stylish burgundy suit with flared pants, while Jennifer, 40, donned a black mini dress with a black and white patterned shirt and carried a sparkling black and silver purse.

Get this: Usher and Jennifer have two children together: daughter Sovereign Bo, 3, and son Sire Castrello, 2. Usher also has two sons, Usher “Cinco” Raymond V, 16, and Naviyd Ely, 15, with his ex-wife Tameka Foster.

He stood on business when it came to celebrating Jennifer. During his acceptance speech, Usher thanked his supporters and gave a heartfelt shoutout to his wife. “Last and most certainly not least, without your love, passion, support to my best friend, Jennifer Raymond. I love you baby,” he said. “My wife, who is in the audience tonight. Thank you for your support and I’m so happy that we could do this together. Mother’s Days are so awesome. I’m hoping that y’all going to hook me up for Father’s Day.”

Okay, Usher was announced as one of the honorees in April, stating, “It’s an honor to be receiving this award from such an iconic and historic cultural institution in New York City – one that has hosted and paved the way for so many prominent people. I’m humbled to be this year’s recipient and look forward to seeing everyone soon.”

What’s cool is the Apollo celebration featured performances from Jordin Sparks, Johnny Gill, and others. Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, a 12-time Grammy winner, was honored with the inaugural Legacy Award and inducted into The Apollo’s Walk of Fame the day before.

Usher’s Icon Award precedes another significant accolade: he is set to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2024 BET Awards on June 30. This honor has previously been awarded to legends like Prince, Whitney Houston, Queen Latifah, and Lionel Richie, celebrating Usher’s “ever-growing musical legacy” in an already action-packed year.

Emerging in the 1970s with the funk band Rufus, Khan’s career boasts 22 albums, 10 Grammy Awards, and collaborations with icons like Prince, Stevie Wonder, and Quincy Jones.

The performance began with guitarist Rob Bacon on the talk box, accompanied by bassist Melvin Davis and drummer Jay Williams, setting the stage for a funky rendition of “Tell Me Something Good.” The office audience couldn’t resist grooving to classics like “What Cha’ Gonna Do For Me” and “Ain’t Nobody.” Tiffany Smith, one of Khan’s backing vocalists, was impressed with her delivery of the challenging moments in “Sweet Thing.”

To close the show, Khan performed “I’m Every Woman,” an anthem written by Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson that has empowered women for decades. The song was a perfect finale for a month celebrating Black women’s contributions to music, showcasing Khan’s powerful voice and timeless appeal.

The performance featured a talented ensemble, including Melvin Davis on bass, Jesse Milliner on keys, Rob Bacon on guitar, Euro Zambrano on percussion, Jay Williams on drums, and backing vocals from Audrey Wheeler-Downing, Tiffany Smith, and Trina Broussard.

Nicki Minaj Possible Divorce Announcement Sparks Concern From Fans

Nicki Minaj's husband kenneth petty

Trouble may be in paradise as Nicki Minaj fans have expressed concern for the “Anaconda” rapper after she posted a social media video discussing motherhood’s challenges. 

In the clip on social, Minaj, dressed in a white robe and pink satin bonnet, recalled giving birth to her son, nicknamed “Papa Bear,” in September 2020. “And then one day, they’re yelling ‘push’ and you’re in pain,” she said drowsily. “Then one day, he comes out a beautiful baby boy. To God be the glory,” she whispered, adding, “Congratulations to every mama out there. You’re doing a great job. In case no one’s told you that, you’re doing a great job.”

All this comes as Minaj, 41, also tweeted cryptically on Monday, “Yes Single …,” sparking fan speculation about whether she was hinting at new music or a potential divorce. This is wild because she just shut down divorce rumors not too long ago. Page Six reported on this and contacted Minaj’s representative but received no immediate response. 

Fans in the land of the Barbz flooded social media with messages of support and concern. “I just woke up and seen Nicki insta story, that made me tear up @NICKIMINAJ I hope you okay sending you love and prayers and hugs,” tweeted one user. Another added, “I honestly hope she’s okay. #WeLoveYouNicki.”

ICYMI, Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty, 46, married in October 2019. She previously revealed that the birth of their son during the COVID-19 pandemic strained their relationship. “I’m not going to lie, things got testy between us,” she told Vogue in December 2023. “Because of our history, I think we knew we’d get past it. But there’s no such thing as confidence in parenthood.” She added, “I kind of wish that someone had told me … that there’s a level of anxiety, and you think it’s going to go away, but in fact, it gets scarier.”

Petty, a registered sex offender, has faced multiple legal issues. He was convicted of attempted rape in the first degree in 1995 and served over four years in prison. In September 2023, he was placed on house arrest after threatening Offset, Cardi B’s husband.

On a good note, Minaj is currently on the second leg of her “Pink Friday 2” world tour, with a concert scheduled for Tuesday night in Copenhagen, Denmark. Hopefully, she’s alright. Touring can be crazy and Minaj needs all the support she can get!

Megan Thee Stallion shared emotions with her Tampa fans over the weekend. During her performance of “Cobra,” Thee Stallion fought back tears.

The Internet does too much sometimes. Over the weekend, an AI sex tape of Megan Thee Stallion hit online, and she appeared to sign off on the issue on X.

“It’s really sick how yall go out of the way to hurt me when you see me winning,” Thee Stallion wrote. “Yall going too far, Fake ass shit. Just know today was your last day playing with me and I mean it.”

Recently featured on the U.S. and European covers of L’Officiel Magazine, Megan discussed the album’s concept, describing it as “renewal, rebirth,” and highlighting its positive themes.

The announcement follows the release of a series of snake-themed singles, including “COBRA,” “HISS,” and “BOA.” The latest track, “BOA,” features a beat by LilJuMadeDaBeat and samples Gwen Stefani’s 2004 classic “What You Waiting For?”

Megan has been performing her new music alongside her extensive catalog during her first-ever headlining arena tour, featuring special guest GloRilla.
