Celebrity Seed: Usher, T.I.
Usher’s ex-wife Tameka Foster posted these adorable pics of their sons Naviyd Ely Raymond, 15 months, and Usher Raymond V, 2, on her Twitter page last night. Word is, Tameka had to move out of that mansion that she and Usher moved into after they married in 2007 (they divorced last year).
Tameka had hopes of keeping the plush pad but Ush stopped paying the bills and, well, her child support check only goes so far when she’s living way beyond her means already.
According to an insider who shall remain nameless, Tameka spends money recklessly and is often broke by the time the 1st rolls back around. She has even resorted to her old ways of buying brand name clothing from high end boutiques and then giving the clothes to an assistant to return to the boutique for a refund.
Thankfully, rapper T.I.’s baby mama, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, doesn’t have those kinds of problems. She’s still getting paid off her royalties for TLC’s “Scrubs” and other songs she’s written. Then there’s the generous monthly allowance she gets from her fiance T.I. which never runs out. Of course, her reality show paycheck from BET is one of the biggest in the industry right now. I’m told that Tiny does “very well” and her paychecks are well over $25,000 per episode compared to the chicks from Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta who don’t get half that.
EDITED: To correct her age and school.
T.I.’s cutie pie 22-year-old niece Kamaya is on Twitter (her mom is T.I.’s sister, Precious, whom he rehired after firing her right before Christmas of ’08). Follow Kamaya at @HeyKAMAYA if you want to see the cutest pics of T.I. and Tameka’s kids, Clifford ‘King’ Joseph III and Major Philant. She posts pics of the kids almost daily.
People hate on Kamaya, who is a student at Florida Memorial University in Miami, because of who her uncle is. But she holds her own and goes in on those fools on Twitter — when she’s not hitting the books.

Major and a family member
And here’s a pic of T.I.’s sister Precious living large (as you can see, T.I. takes good care of his fam). I see Precious is driving again, too. But that’s a different story for another time.

ummmmm…k. Gonna be a slow news day huh? I was hoping for something with some FI’A after all that Teeny BS yesterday, but .. OK
Gee there sure is a lot of ass kissing in this post.
Well, excluding the former Mrs. Raymond.
Sandra stays stanning for T.I…….smh
gooood morning SR fam! let me catch up from a 6 month hiatus!! umm sandy are you related to TI or something?
OO-OOP to the soror!!
I see Tiny and T.I. can do no wrong…
Mornin…..
OO-OOP to T.I.’s sister!!!!
Tiny looks very nice in that pic. That BET money really helped her out in the appearance department. When she is just TI’s baby mama and living off of her royalties, she looks a hot mess. Now, with the BET money, she has definitely stepped her game up.
Major and King are adorable boys. Hugs and kisses to them!
It is so good to see TI’s extended family looking healthy and prosperous. You can only spend so much money in this lifetime so you might as well spread the love if you are blessed with stacks in the money department. I know if I had it like that I would make sure my family has it going on, too.
The verdict is still out on Usher’s boys. I will give them time to grow into those faces that they possess now
See, I love the kids…oh Marty Mar love the kids
I love that pic of tiny. The kids look nice to.
Good morning everyone!!
OO-OOP Sorors!!!
The kids are really cute.
Was Precious a founding member? Damn, how old is she?
Oh Lord, here they come.
That is a decent picture of Tiny…
Tameka looks so much better when she is dressed all the way down.
Good morning to all my sorors!!
Good Morning Lovezoe and Soulstar81 **OO-OOP** Sp. 2006
You always throwing Tameeka under the bus. If she he stopped paying the bills and the only money she has coming in is her support check maybe, just maybe that’s the reason she is broke from month to month. She has a Brady Bunch to take of (even if those aren’t his kids they are hers).
Shame on Usher for not providing a roof over his two kids head. Regardless to what the situation is those are still his children.
And speaking of TI’s baby momma’s living so comfy what’s up with the other two? I wonder if they’ll agree with you…
Tameka looks great and her and Usher’s boys are adorably cute!! Go Tameka LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!!
Unfortunately, i have to admit I am also on the Tiny, T.I. bandwagon. lol That pic of her looks great and all of the children are gorgeous.
@ RTB, I just read about that J-Kwon stuff on another blog. I wonder what is up with that? I can’t wait to see the outcome…I hope he’s not dead.
That is the best that I have EVER seen Tiny look.
@ iscream
My sentiments exactly. If Tiny was such a kept woman living off of these huge royalty checks, then she sure did not look like it until she started collecting those BET checks. Instead of buying her cars and purses, he needs to put that money towards her having a fulltime stylist and make-up artist. Right now, she looks nicer than she ever have in a long time. Once that money runs out, she will go back to looking haggard.
TI, step your game up…your girl should look like this all this time.
Didnt Kandi write No Scrubs??? Im not saying…im really asking???
And that is hands down the best Ive ever seen Tiny look….
Why must you jock TI and Tiny soooo hard, Sandra? But I digress, I love Tiny’s new look it’s so much more becoming than that orangish-blonde. Usher’s kids are ummmm ug errr different looking. I don’t feel sorry for Usher nor Tameka people from the outside looking in knew it was a disaster from jump street.
I’m glad to see T.I. has a family who believes in getting educated I can see that from his sister (who is Delta, meaning she went to college) and as well as his niece. That’s good.
Somebody should close their mouth when taking pictures. Somebody looks like they are a heavy breather. And considering that some say said somebody resembles a pig that is not a good look.
We can file this under Blind item not so blind…
@b-boy817, The song was mostly written by the producer Shekspere. Kandi and Tiny received writing credits for their small contributions to the song.
@ 22, Kandi and Tiny co-wrote No Scrubs
Team TI ITS THE KING HOMIE
Meeka and the boys look like they had fun. I believe Usher is taking care of his kids as well.
Morning
Why do people hate Tiny so much? I don’t get it. I keep reading so much about the way she looks but if you’re not sleeping with her, why the hell should it matter to you? She’s not putting folks on blasts, she doesn’t let her kids go hungry, she wants to work and continue to have a successful career, she’s in love, yet yall still hate her. I think somebody’s jealous…LOL And I’ll give Tameka the benefit of the doubt given that she has 5 children, takes care of them, and loves them dearly. She doesn’t seem like a bad person, really though.

O_O
naviyd is so precious in that photo. he has the cutest eyes!
Hmmmmm
at this whole post. I love that red hair color on Tiny. All the kids are cuties too. #thatisall
Tiny looks really good.
Congrats to her! Her kids are cuties too.
Tameka and the two boys are making it. Maybe they have to grow into their looks. I have seen Usher’s baby pics so I am sure a little growing for Lil Ush and Nayvid are in order. “Ush and Naviyd” sounds like and designer label or clothing line Tameka! Capitalize…I’m trying to throw you a bone girl!
Looks like Kamaya may be saved (from DST). I’m peeping the pink phone, the green “Love Pink” shirt and the cuteness. Besides, who are the hottest in the AUC? I wanna see that pinkie girl!! LOL
“People hate on Kamaya, who is an AUC student, because of who her uncle is.”
Sandra this sounds so adolescent!!!!! Who her uncle damn sho don’t make the sun raise in the morning.
Tiny looks better than she did, but she just looks really hard to me and when she opens her mouth, she sounds like Miss Jane Pittman. Money does not buy class.
damn anybody can be a star in the ATL
@ qtipthecat
I don’t think this is a matter of class. Tiny is just not a naturally attractive woman. Her style/choice of dress, make-up and hair does not compensate for what she lacks in the looks department. I feel that she is a classy lady because she takes care of her children (and it is obvious from the show that she loves them very much); she loves TI and she shows him much respect by not being an attention-whore and certified gold-digger; she honors her mother and her father; and she seems to be a great, sincere, and trustworthy friend. You are right: money cannot buy class. A person’s morals and values gives them class. Tiny appears to have plenty of morals and values.
Team Tiny
you mean 25K per season and she and Toya probably have to split that. BET ain’t paying no one 25000/episode. Yeah Right!!
I must say Tiny looks hot in that pic though cause she usually looks busted.
usher’s kids are very cute. they look just like him, can’t wait til they can fully dress like their dad and get that swag.
See, Tameeka DOES spend time with her kids!! Go, Meeka!!
That’s a good photo of Tiny!
Auntie, I’m surprised that you haven’t posted that KC & Booby welcomed their new baby boy!
Damn Sandi, Kiss ass much??? Got Damn, kick back with that… Anyway, I thought this was a “Celebrity Seed” post?? Those boy’s are adorable!!! Just like their Daddy
Welcome Home Tip!!!

Tiny re-negotiated her contract for this season and that’s the amount that she’s getting. I know that for a fact. That’s a tiny drop in the bucket compared to what the sponsors are paying for ad spots on her show.
Usher kids are so adorable…especially lil’ Naviyd. They look just like their handsome daddy!!
Tiny looks good in that pic.
All the kids in this post are adorable. King looks like he is little clown, probably have them laughing all day!
Tiny looks pretty in the pic…she should always look like this
the girls on the hills get 100,000 an episode so maybe in urban tv 25,000 is alot but its nothing compared to them young white girls
I love me some T.I. I adore that he has loved Tiny years before most of us know he was the King of the South. I mean they both seem really happy together. She loves him and he love her. I would LOVE to see them finally tie the knot. I think it would be a great marriage (not perfect) after so much time they both have put in with each other. T.I. would be a great husband….I am also on Team T.I.(ny)!
Usher should have listened to his fans and his mother..All the hell he gets from knocking that big ass man up-twice, he deserves. You know some men, love the drama and tranny looking women. I venture to say he need to lay off and take time away to regroup. He has talent, but he needs to get some inspiration and take care of his kids. He has enough money to fall back and produce without HAVING to be on stage. Those little boys are so adorable.
All of these children are so adorable… Major’s face and King’s expression, they look like happy kids.
UshV is a cuter version of his father, if that’s Tameka in the pic she looks younger than usual, but where are her other sons? does Ryan glover really have custody?
Sorry to be negative. Tiny and Tip needs to take that baby to a dentist and stop feeding him junk. On a positive note Tiny does look really nice in that picture.:grin:
Had to post since I see the DST being represented!!!
OO-OOP! Hello, my sweet sweet Sorors!!!!!
