No Wonder Usher Asked Tameka for a DNA Test

According to Black Celeb Kids, this here is Usher Raymond’s son Naviyd Ely Raymond — and the reason for the bust up of their marriage. The mother of course, is ex-wife Tameka Raymond. Rumor had it that Usher didn’t believe this child was his son. I don’t blame him. I would be questioning the genetics as well. Especially if I didn’t have any light skin folks in my bloodline.

Usher’s firstborn, his namesake, is the spittin’ image of him. But this kid here doesn’t resemble Usher at all. I always wondered why Usher would be seen out & about with only one his children and not the other. Naviyd is a cutie though. Too bad he’s saddled with that name. People should think before naming their kids. Naviyd will have to spell his name to everyone he meets for the rest of his life.

Thanks to loyal reader Janet B for the tip!

    I was trying to figure out how to pronounce the childs name so I looked it up and his name means good news and it is pronounced naveed but they spelled it different……..

    But the boy does look like Usher( but my little brother who is lighter than nayvid darkened out and looks like my older bro )and he may get darker when he gets older.

    And he is a cute baby.

    Nawho? How u gone give a baby a name you can’t spell or pronounce dayuummm. Anyways, that don’t look nothing like Ursher because Ursher has a very wierd shaped head and hairline and that baby just doesn’t resemble the wierdness. BUT everyone doesn’t always look like their biological parent. Usher and Tameka are so :yawn:

    As hard as Tameka’s been trying to hold on to Usher, I don’t think she would have slipped up and messed up her meal ticket like that. Besides, I really think she loved/loves him. He may look more like his dad as he ages.

    EJLOVE says:

    Ok, is this really over the line? This is an innocent child, should anyone, who are NOT the parents, question this child’s paternity? Its a very personal thing, and no matter if you like Tameka or Usher, some things should be left alone…just my opinion.

    The Divine Ms. K says:

    Ya’ll are crazy. It’s perfectly possible for a child to not resemble their parents EXACTLY. Heck, my mother-in-law is very fair-skinned and my hubby came out as chocolate as can be. She also has greenish/blue eyes and my hubby’s are brown.

    Until a DNA is done, Usher needs to quit tripping and spend time with his son.

    Wow & Smh

    Lucky for Tameeka since they were married he is the father according to the law. & that baby looks like Usher to me.

    & if you wanna go there. I don’t see him out and about with either kid. I’ve seen more pics of him and that other man’s wife then with his kids. Or out at a local ATL event. Its not like he has an album he is promoting and those whack ass singles he has he needs to be in the studio trying to put together a decent album.

    PEOPLE NEED TO STOP DOING THIS

    QUESTIONING THE FATHER OF A CHILD

    IT INDICATES THAT THE MOTHER WAS CHEATING-WHEN YOU HAVE NO KNOWN PROOF OTHER THAN YOUR OPINION BASED ON HOW THE CHILD LOOKS

    BLACK PEOPLE ESPECIALLY WOMEN-DO THIS TO SLIGHT THE MOTHER

    ON THE FLIP SIDE THIS IS WHY SO MANY BLACK MOTHERS BRAG REPEATEDLY AND SAY SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE HER DADDY, HE LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS DADDY ETC.

    IT’S LIKE OF COURSE-THE CHILD SHOULD RESEMBLE THEIR PARENT RIGHT? OR DO YOU HAVE DOUBTS AND/OR WHY ARE YOU GOING SO HARD TO STATE THE OBVIOUS

    BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER WITH THIS COONERY I SWEAR

    IF USHER HAS DOUBTS-THOSE COULD BE CLEARED UP IN MINUTES TAKE A DAMN PATERNITY TEST!

    NOPE IT’S JUST TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY TO TAMEKA SINCE HER AND USHER ARE NOW DIVORCE AND PEOPLE ARE REJOICING IN HER PAIN-AND THAT’S A DAMN SHAME

    Shauny says:

    Looks like Usher and his mother to me. Damn I didn’t think Naviyd an odd name either :shrug:

    I agree with EJLOVE – it’s very tacky to bring the little baby into this. If Usher wants to question anything, he needs to question why he continues to get with older MARRIED women. Be a father to YOUR child.

    BTW both my brothers are lighter than I am and my mom is VERY dark skinned as is daddy and ALL of my 2 older children are lighter than me and I’m dark and their dad is darker than me. I guess we all have to do a paternity test SMH

  32. 32

    How do u pronounce Naviyd ? is it like David?

    tameka said on twitter that usher cut the baby’s hair with out her permission last week. she posted the after pic of him completely shaven and he looked like a mexican =/

    LLani says:

    Since black folks in America are a mixed race of people, we come in all shades. Doesn’t matter how dark the parents are they can have light children. Same thing used to be said about me growing up. Both my parents are dark brown and my sisters are brown and i’m light skin with light brown hair and hazel eyes. We all got the white man’s blood through our veins even if it’s 4 generations ago, it still can show up. By the way, the baby looks like usher and he is not even that light, he will get darker as he gets older.

    Usher career was over when he fired his Momanger…Tameka helped nail the coffin….Anyway and this is way off topic awhile there was a blind item on Shakir Stewarts suicide and the blind item said he was secretly videotaped having sex with someone and another well R&B artist was blackmailing Shakir and not for money just becuz he wanted to destroy his reputation-could it be Karma

    On topic…I’m not gonna speculate on that child’s paternity….but I have always wondered how could a woman bring a child in the world either not knowing who the father is or just outright lyin’ about it. That’s some trife ish rite there.

    Not too long ago I was at a friends house & there was a girl there w/ one of those names where you can kinda tell what the dads’ name is…..she was prolly ’bout 12/13yrs old. And somebody asked her, “What’s yo daddy’s name?” She :shrugs: IT GOT QUIET THAN A MUGGGGG….then to clarify the person said, “You don’t know yo daddy’s name?” The girl shook her head NO! AWKWARD! Somebody just walked over and gave her a hug…..I was really bothered about that! So many questions & no LOGICAL ANSWERS!

  61. 61

    Why don’t you bloggers just leave Tameka alone. Move on, please. You all have made her a celebrity just because she snagged a mama’s boy and took a picture showing her stretch marks. Her 15 minutes are up. Stop extending it with post like this.

    He looks just like Usher. Light skinned Black people are the same kind of Black as dark skinned Black people. They are not different, that rare, and certainly not special. My family and most people’s families come in different shades, from the SAME parents. Me and my sister have different skin colors, eye colors, and hair textures. We have the same parents and we still look alike. And, FYI, my sister, uncle, cousins, etc. get their hair texture from my grandmother, who is dark. So I don’t know where this LSLH thing comes from.

    The whole “who light skin” – “who dark skin” mess wears me out. The Black American Negro is a mix breed, so you can come out to look like anything round here. I am tired of us of all people acting like we are pure as an African ( many of them are not even “pure”). We kill me with this what is “real” black what is not. There probably less than 5% of Black Americans that are unmixed and that number is high.

    Furthermore, I am so tired of us fighting for crumbs when they see us all as n*&*#s, although we are not.

    1) If it’s true that Usher doesn’t spend time with this little boy based on some assumption, even were the assumption true, he’s a pig. For one thing, he should have the class to know it aint the baby’s fault and neglecting the kid is a ****ing bitch move. For another, he should have gotten a DNA test done STAT to clear it up.
    2) I’m so sick of hearing this anti-lslh bs. My boyfriend is from Somalia, an area of Africa which produces really interesting shades of “negroid” people with really interesting and varied hair textures etc. He taught me a real lesson in the diversity of African genes. There is no litmus test. Here is a pure African, does he fit the stereotype? http://i45.tinypic.com/168692c.jpg

    Kids don’t always come out looking just like their parents. But to me he favors Usher especially around the eyes. Regardless he’s a cutie pie.

Dude dissed his mother for a woman(that’s a terrible way to start a relationship) whom he probably knew deep down didn’t have his best interest at heart. I just hate kids were brought into the mix. God bless ‘em.

    Oh yeah Sandra how do you know Usher’s family bloodline? I’m a biology major and right now we are discussing genetics (i.e. genetics) skin color occurs randomly because of an independent assortment of genetic alleles. Basically in plain English skin color is a biological crap shoot.

    I think the baby look like Usher, especially in the eyes. People need to quit hatin on Tameka. Imagine if your personal business was put out there for the whole world to judge and criticize. Seriously, some of yall messy and know that your sh!t stink just as bad, but its just not in the national media being blown in every direction with sh!t getting added on from random people’s “ASSumptions.”

    You are correct. I took biology too.

    Reminds me too of when the men on Maury say she can’t have no boys. I can only have boys. Really? the men decide the sex of the child.

    A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    The baby looks like Bookman from Good Times. He looks like he should be getting his lunch pail and going off to work as a bus driver.
