Usher: Arguments made me want to divorce wife

Usher has opened up about his divorce from wife Tameka Foster. “During our disagreements, that’s when I really began to contemplate marriage and if this is someone whom I’m compatible with,” Usher, who filed for divorce from Tameka in 2009, tells Vibe magazine in its latest issue.

“Anytime we had a disagreement or an argument, I began to contemplate: Wow, is this really gonna work out? I’m going through hell right now, given the fact that people have an opinion about our relationship.

“I can’t be unhappy at home and fighting the wars or the opinions outside… ‘You should’ve handled things this way,’ ‘I wish you would’ve said this,’ ‘You’re handling me wrong,’ ‘I don’t like the way I’m feeling about this’ — it could be anything, man.”

The star then discussed Raymond V Raymond being a career rebound

“I don’t think it was a rebound at all. Some people in my organization felt like it was a rebound, but for me it was business as usual,” he said.

“Were there hard times in the process? Absolutely. I think it was the first time that doubt was ever amongst the opinions. Like, Can he do it again? Is it possible that this can happen? When you have 15 years of a legacy built, it shouldn’t be questionable with one album.”
