Over the last couple of years, Usher has had a few hits (“OMG,” the discovery of Justin Bieber) and one noticeable miss: Tameka Foster.
Following a couple years and a couple sons together, she and the artist got divorced last summer. Asked about the relationship, Usher tells the latest issue of People: “I love her as the mother of my children… we’re two different people and we have two different goals. It just was never going to work out 100 percent.”
He then touched on a few other topics, as the interview is excerpted below:
On raising his sons:
“Usher [V] is always in everything. He’s an instigator. He’s the one who leads his brother astray. I was like that when I was his age… if one gets in trouble, the other one does, too. They both have a lot of energy. They can wear me out.”
“My music is about where I am at the time, In ‘Raymond vs. Raymond,’ I was going through a lot of things, and it came out in my music. My marriage fell apart and I was suddenly a single father. But now, with Versus, I’m singing about being a dating father.”
Will he marry again?
“I still believe in love. I believe in marriage. When I fall in love again, everyone will know. I’ll sing about it.”
