Tameka Raymond opens up about marriage to Usher

In the sit down with VH1 Tameka Raymond opened up about the pressures of being married to Usher in a promo for her new reality show, Atlanta Exes…
"I met my ex-husband about 14 years ago when I was working with him as a fashion stylist. Over the time that I worked for him we became very good friends. He was like my best friend. We talked about everything, we had so many interests in common. And over time our relationships dissolved around us and we ended up going on a few dates."
"For me, my life changed a lot in being married to him. I had to kind of be a little more conscious and cognizant of things that I did, that I said, that I tweeted, that I ate (laughs). Continue..
There was just a lot of pressure, a lot of image concerns. You set aside a lot of what you want to do personally and put it on the backburner to be there and be the backbone for your mate. Your travel schedule is so inconsistent and you’re kind of all over in this place and that place. Now I’m kind of just able to wake up and say, ‘Wow today is my day, I’m doing what I want to do or what I need to do for me.’ I love being single and I love dating, but the thing I don’t like is that at times you can’t really confide in these people that you date. The first opening line for every man is ‘I don’t know how to dance, but…’ Aw come on! Did I say you had to dance? Men are really always making little small references to my ex-husband. It’s very annoying and sometimes it nixes them out. Ixnay, oolyay, bye!”

The biggest of all runz girls and gold diggers. Peoeple like Genevieve and Nike Oshinowo are learning where this tameka reigns. Go and find out about her in ATL. Only God knows how she always gets these men to marry her. Its just that eventually the eyes of the men clear

Because USHERS name will still move her forward somewhat. A lot of these gold digging women who married strictly for money or because of how powerful their ex husbands name was/is, tyoically refuse to stop being associated with them. Some even refuse to drop the name. Even in this our naija we have some like that

Oh snap dey don't not wen she's in a reality show abt celebrate Exes is anoda away 2 be relevant and 2 maintain d fame and trust me dats wat she ll be tag as in d reality show "Usher exes" wife she even kept his name so d thing is, dey re all Fame driven. Reality shows all ova d tv in d US most of which has no meaning & mks no sense @ all. Just full of poor acting luking 4 cheap publicity and road 2 fame.
