Good news, ladies: If Usher’s mom has anything to do with it, he won’t be dating girlfriend Tameka Foster for long.
Tension is mounting amid rumors that Tameka Foster, Usher’s stylist-turned-gal-pal, has management ambitions. “Him dating her is causing a serious family rift,” says an insider.
Matriarch Jonetta Patton fired Foster when she was working as Usher’s stylist because “she didn’t think she was dressing him according to the caliber of star he was” said one source. Patton especially objected to her son being photographed in jeans.
Another source said, “People in the industry don’t like Tameka. She has had a lot of problems with designers.”
Fashion house Roberto Cavalli had so many issues they refused to deal with her. The fact that Foster has three children with her still-husband, Ryan Glover, doesn’t help matters. Some have even suggested she is older than her stated age of 33 (Usher is 27).
