Talking of artists dumping management, Usher's mother Jonnetta Patton, who has directed her son's career from the outset, has dropped the services of former Sony boss and current Casablanca Records chief Tommy Mottola, who has been assisting in the management of the R&B superstar's career for the last few months. Word is Patton and Mottola never really hit it off - though that didn't stop Usher being undoubtedly one of the world's most successful current artists - his album 'Confessions' has now shifted over 6 million copies in the US alone - a repackaged version featuring the hit Alicia Keys duet 'My Boo' has also sold an additional 344,000 copies.
