Mrs Usher, aka Tameka Foster, has hit out at journalists and her husband's fans who have slated her over the last year, some of whom have claimed that she only hooked up with the R&B star to get publicity for her fashion company. Foster reckons that she is getting a much harder time because she's black, and says that other black women give her the hardest time.
Speaking to Essence magazine, she said: "We [black women] don't like ourselves. If I were Hispanic, Usher would have the sexiest wife alive. If I were mixed, he'd have the sexiest wife alive. But he has a black girl, and it's like, 'She's horrible and she's ugly!' OK, maybe I don't fit the cookie-cutter standard - 25 and a size two - but this is who he loves".
Commenting on all the media coverage given to her relationship with and marriage to Usher - negative or otherwise - she continued: "There are women getting raped in Darfur, young girls being turned out every single day right here in Atlanta. We have bigger issues to worry about than two people in love with each other".
You know, I've just decided I like Tameka.
