These are Usher’s confessions: He’s tired of people bashing his wife, Tameka.
The singer broke into an impromptu speech Tuesday while he was a guest on MTV’s “TRL.”
“There was a little rumor earlier this week about [my wife and I] separating. It ain’t true. [We’re] in love,” he began.
“Matter of fact, I’m tired of people continuing to talk so much trash about me. … My wife is not 40 years old. I love her to death and I’m a black, strong man in America standing up for my people — as a man to my wife, to my son, to my family,” he said, shedding his sunglasses and walking toward the camera mid-sentence.
MTV VJ Damien Fahey tried to keep the show moving, offering: “That’s it. There’s nothing left to say” — but Usher wasn’t finished.
“And my wife had nothing to do with me firing my mother [as my manager] — nothing like that, that’s trash. I hear y’all talking crazy out there. [Tameka] is a beautiful black woman. Stop. Stop talking. And I love her. Stop it.”
You just can’t beat live TV.
