HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
R&B superstar fires his mom from her position
as his manager.

R&B superstar Usher Raymond has relieved

his mother, Jonnetta Patton, from her

position as his manager. For months now rumors have been

that Usher's fiance, Tameka Foster has been

pressuring him to let her go and hire Patton

in her place. On Monday (May 7), the singer

released an official statement announcing her departure

from the position, claiming he and his mother are on

"great terms and support each other in our life's

endeavors. We are both very happy but are now

working in different areas of the business."

"This is great for me because it means I now get

to have my mother strictly as my mother with no

added pressure," he continued. Dismissing the

possibility of Patton's replacement by his fiancee, Usher

stated [Foster] "has no aspirations of becoming

my manager or any other artist's manager."
