Usher‘s ex-wife Tameka Foster is demanding child custody of their two sons, arguing that he has created a dangerous environment.
Foster argues that Usher is allowing unqualified individuals to care for their two kids, Usher Raymond V and Naviyd Ely Raymond. Tameka has asked for an emergency hearing for temporary custody in Fulton County, Georgia later this week, according to TMZ.
The filing comes after son Usher Raymond V was hospitalized after nearly drowning in the singer’s pool Monday, Aug. 5, 2013. Reportedly, Usher’s aunt was watching the five year old when his arm became lodged in the pool drain. Usher was not home at the time, but arrived in time to ride in the ambulance with his son. The child is reported to be in stable condition.
Usher filed for divorce from Foster in June 2009, after nearly two years of marriage. The two have had an ongoing custody battle over their children, and Tameka lost full custody in April 2012.
In July 2012, Foster’s 11-year-old son Kile Glover, Usher’s stepson, was mortally wounded when his head was struck by a jet ski. Tameka said the July 2012 incident “gave [her] strength beyond measure and it made [her] determined to fight for [her] other [children].”
