R&B superstar Usher is raging at the media for taking aim at his wife.
The 29-year old singer wed stylist Tameka Foster last September and the couple welcomed their first son, Usher Raymond V, two months later.
However, the Love in This Club hitmaker has been forced to defend his union on several occasions, admitting the media backlash against his wife has definitely “affected” him.
He says, “Of course a lot of what I read does affect me. There’s been a lot of untrue statements that have come out. One, my wife’s age. Two, her name. She’s not a Foster, she’s a Raymond. I married her.
“Also, the fact that maybe there was some malicious intent on her part with my family or my mother. There’s a lot of transformations that have taken place in my life and unfortunately my wife got a bad beat for it. But I’m very happy.
“She’s not done anything in a negative way other than make me a better man in life. As a father, as a more conscious individual.”
Usher continued his rant on MTV’s Total Request Live on Tuesday, while he was co-hosting the show to promote the release of his highly-anticipated album, “Here I Stand,” which is available in stores now.
He raged, “I love my wife very very much and there has been a little rumor earlier this week about us separating; it ain’t true… As a matter of fact I’m tired of people continuing to talk so much trash about me… I’m a black strong man in America standing up to my people.”
