Celebs Out & About: Usher Raymond, Floyd Mayweather
R&B crooner Usher Raymond was seen arriving at his downtown NY hotel today. He was dressed smartly in a blue suit and matching shoes. Usher’s ex-wife Tameka Raymond was once again fodder for the blogs when her 4-year-old son, Naviyd, snapped a photo of his genitals and allegedly uploaded the image to his mother’s Instagram page. When Tameka was alerted to the photo, she deleted the image and replaced it with one of the little boy in tears — presumably after she’d placed him in time out.
The photos touched off an outcry on social media from users who assumed the boy was with his father when he snapped the inappropriate photo. The question became: was Naviyd imitating his father? But Usher took to his Twitter account to proclaim his innocence. “Tameka,” he tweeted, indicating that Naviyd was with his mother when the incident occurred.
