A recent development has put a new twist on the Usher and Maxwell teh ghey rumors. As you know, crooners Usher and Maxwell have been the subjects of gay rumors for years.
According to my very credible west coast connect, Maxwell recently broke up with his rumored male lover. I can’t say any more than that because a child is involved (and the kid can read). But is it just a coincidence that Usher and Maxwell sat down for a private intimate dinner in New York last week?
According to Page Six, Usher and Maxwell joined Sons of Essex owner Matt Levine for a private dinner on Wednesday. A bodyguard stood nearby to provide privacy.
Tameka Raymond’s son, Kile Glover, 11, was buried on Saturday in Atlanta after suffering traumatic brain injuries during a boating incident on Lake Lanier in early July. Kile was taken off life support after 3 weeks in intensive care.
Much has been made in the media about Kile being singer Usher Raymond’s “stepson”. But sources tell Sandrarose.com that the Glover family was very unhappy about the media focusing on Usher — who was not in Kile’s life after his divorce from Tameka in 2009.
Tameka and Kile’s father, local television executive Ryan glover (pictured above with baby Kile), shared custody of Kile and his older brother Ryan, 14.
On the other hand, the family also knows that the media attention on the tragedy was largely due to the Usher connection.
Tameka has created a foundation in Kile’s name with the goal of increasing awareness on water safety.
Those interested in donating to the Kile foundation can visit any Bank of America branch, the account # is 3340 3823 9828, or you can make a donation via PayPal to the email TheKileGloverFund@gmail.com.

What is the connection with your title to the body of your message on this?
All I saw was ghey rumors being addressed….
I was thinking the same thing when some media outlets were saying poor Usher this and that and I was like what about Tameka and his father and the rest of the family.
RIP to Kile Glover
This post is all over the place. :stare:
I’m confused
:stop: Auntie Leave my Maxwell alone
I heard this morning that Jennifer Williams is in love with Maxwell….even tho I
me some Maxwell, he has been rumored to be gay for many years now…
but ummm yeah, what does this have to do with Kile’s funeral?
too much going on in this post, auntie. reads like
.. shlda split up the topics IMO
fyi, my husband was there and said he saw usher.
@itsice I
This didn’t have anything to do with the title. They say fortunate song is about a man.
that the Glover family was very unhappy about the media focusing on Usher — who was not in Kile’s life after his divorce from Tameka in 2009.

So you didn’t post anything about the death of this precious baby, but now posting this messy mess. Yeah.
People wonder why Meek Meek act the fool.
i met maxwell circa 1997 (untamed mane maxwell) and he smelled GOOD
and i heard ursh was @ the wedding but stayed low-key
*funeral
I could understand the Glover family being upset about the headlines including too much of Usher especially if Usher was not in contact with her kids since the divorce.
I don’t understand what Maxwell has to do with any of this. I read over the post and I agree, everything is all over the place
R.I.P. Kile…still unbelievable
Not MY Maxwell
Morning All
Fefe i heard that too. Plus some people were blasting Tameka on instagram. Apparently she didnt want flowers or tokens for Kile only money to the fund. Some people were questioning if the fund was legit and if Tameka was capitalizing on that poor child’s death. Im a mom and if that was the case and I hope not, nothing good will come to Tameka

*********************
i don’t think so. something needs to be done on the lake and i can see her putting some efforts toward this to help her cope. ironically, the attention brought to kile’s death (even after a couple had just lost TWO of their three kids on the lake a few weeks earlier) may help bring more awareness to the fund.

I don’t understand this logic….I’m sure they had more than enough flowers sent to them. People create memorial funds for their children all of the time. Tameka can do no right in the eyes of some people
This isn’t anything new. Regular people do it all of the time ESPECIALLY if a child died under tragic circumstances….

technically, she didn’t say he wasn’t there but i just wanted to clear it up. he should have been there and he was. i don’t think ryan glover is THAT kinda guy. as an industry person himself, i’m sure he understands and personally his pain is too great to even care.
Sassyshe- Ever heard of “in lieu of flowers” People be reaching so hard I am surprised they don’t have broken arms.
It’s a tornado warning near my viewing area so they cut broadcast of the Olympics.

This woman can’t win. She does someting and its a fraud. Others do it and its heroic???
*Crickets*
The last thing Ryan probably was thinking about was how they labeled who Usher was, he probably too busy being at his son’s side and praying to God.
I will say that I was a little upset to see that someone had taken pictures of the grieving family leaving the funeral. It broke my heart to see little Navyid (sp) crying, even if he didn’t understand what was going on. It was still touching to see that.
I’m still
for healing for this family.
Lzoe that lil baby so cute
Auntie, I just can’t with YOU this morning. This article has nothing to do with nothing. Maxwell is NOT gay!!! It’s sad, that because he decides to keep his private life…ummm private that people think he’s is in fact gay. None the less my heart goes out to the Glover family. No parent should have to bury a child!!! Good morning to my SR family:-)
OMG Sandra. Not attending the funeral doesn’t mean he didn’t visit and pay his last respects to the lil man. Seeing the pics of them carrying that small casket is like damn….I dont knock Tameka for starting her fund. People do it all the time, i.e. in lieu of…Some start scholarships, non profits, etc. Tameka, do what feels right to you.
Gay people always wanna kick, pull, and bull doze others out the closet on one hand. And on the other hand, they want equality, respect, and tolerance. Continue living this life and you just know, without confirmation, that someone’s gay. Out of respect for that person, you never bring it up. A person can only claim they’re private for so long before you put two/two together. I don’t bash you wanting privacy by any stretch of the imagination.

i was surprised she had him on her hip. maybe she picked him up because he was crying though. she came across as very strong. i was looking for photos so i can’t complain. just like i checked out whitney in the casket.
#shame
@ pointhimout: Usher visited Kile in the hospital once in 3 weeks.
Jenie- Thanks.
It’s amazing how certain kids are off-limits, but to use this baby funeral to shade someone. Despicable.
Sandra Rose says: @ pointhimout: Usher visited Kile in the hospital once in 3 weeks.
***********************************
he didn’t need to be all in the hospital anyway. they usually only allow close family and kile was brain dead so what is usher going to do? he offered support in the form of transportation and also reduced some of his demands in the child custody matter.
Gonna say what’s already been said.
– I’m confused
real soon!
– Why post on THIS but there was no post on lil man when he died?
– Maxwell will NEVER be gay in my mind
– Let’s go
This is so heart wrenching – It really tears at my soul and makes me sad…
Who is Here?
SR
THE BACKLASH TAMEKA RECEIVES IS BASED ON HER LOOKS, FOLKS WILL DENY IT BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS
AND WHEN FOLKS PRE-DETERMINE THEY DON’T LIKE YOU, NOTHING YOU SAY OR DO WILL EVER BE RIGHT IN THEIR EYES AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE SUBJECTED TO SCRUTINY AND YOUR ACTIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED SUSPICIOUS
These days, seems like you can’t be a black man without being accused of being gay.
If you’re never seen with a woman, you’re gay.
If you’re seen with too many women, you’re gay and trying to cover it.
If you’re married, you’re DL.
That black man will never win in this country, this world, with this constant bullsht.
I don’t think Meka look bad. This chick had five kids, what’s Raynesha excuse for the stretch marks she be showing in the club
I agree I think Usher was extremely graceful in keeping a polite distance

I think that’s sufficient after all his acts of childishness. He lucky nobody went off on him. He probably felt it was best he stayed distant. Let’s not forget this happened while a custody case was going on. Usher was talking about this woman and all and trying to make it look like she was crazy. When he married crazy.
Defend that Usher. So….
I def think now is not the time to pass judgement on Tameka

Is it her looks? I think she is beautiful. It’s hateraide. Not sure why anyone is still hating, it’s not like she’s still married.
anotha site said phaedra handled the funeral arrangements. interesting cuz i thought that whole funeral operation was “made for tv.” but nope.

willie does a lot of high profile funerals but i can’t help but to think he let phaedra “have” this one, i.e. liaison between the family and his staff who did the REAL work.
CHOCO
*I have heard that Maxwell had a problem with that nose candy…back when he had that wild hair I wanted to do all kinds of naughty things with him

@IAMK
I see it as part of the emasculation of the black man that seems to be everyone’s favorite past time. Especially black women. I refuse to buy into it.
Being different or not fitting some ultimate ideal that we’ve been brainwashed into believing is the “black man standard” doesn’t make one gay in my eyes.
According to a source, Stevie J. and ex-wife of NBA player Gary Grant–Tammie Grant, are expecting a child together.

Oh and I call bullshit on anyone saying that the foundation for Kile to bring awareness is just her trying to get money. This isn’t the first time Tameka has created a charity (her foundation Lost Ones for young girls) and she doesn’t NEED anyone’s money. This woman is grieving, this family is grieving, yet people want to continue to heap on piles of bullshit as an excuse to continue badmouthing her
I honestly, truly, hate people sometimes and the internet has done nothing more but put ignorant folks at the forefront
Let me go
Since it looks like we all have to bring our own tea this morning.
And (cause I’m typing, scrolling up reading, scrolling down commenting)
at Yso. Black women are quick to label a man gay if he looks too good, shows too much emotion, dresses off the wall, doesn’t look twice at her, can dance too good, sing too pretty, etc when the main ones they call straight be the biggest queens in the world
Alright I think my ranting is donw
I’m confused and I can read lol

Clearly lol
the subject of this post…. no bueno
let’s remember a child lost his life
that has nothing to do with supossed “ghey rumors”
I cringed whenever reports kept saying usher’s stepson. i’m like u stupid mf’s, shouldn’t you at least attempt to find out the name of his father? Tameka wasn’t some whore who just happened to get knocked up. She and Ryan were married and share the loss of a child. But it got more attn to simply say usher’s step son. And all the idiots on twitter who kept wishing well and to usher and tameka. Like, are we this dumb in society? There were a few sane people to acknowledge Ryan and Tameka.
It is a loss for Usher because his sons have lost a brother and he’ll have to help with this life altering ordeal.

LOL, exactly!!!
There’s SO much confusing and inaccurate info in this post….smh
Does anybody knows why Maxell’s bio is so private?
Just read somewhere…..”…Maxwell was born May 23, 1973, in Brooklyn, NY; he adopted his middle name as his stage moniker, keeping his real identity a closely guarded secret out of concern for his family’s privacy.”
—— I’m sure he’s a lot older, that birthdate is very suspect. His life is a private and closed as Paul Mooney’s.
