Love in the limelight hasn’t always been easy for the iconic singer Usher. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Usher opens up about the rollercoaster ride of his love life, shedding light on his turbulent relationships with stylist Tameka Foster and TLC’s Rozonda ‘Chilli’ Thomas.
Usher, who is now happily married and a Super Bowl superstar, reminisces on his tumultuous love life that made headlines in the late ’00s. Following his much-adored romance with Rozonda ‘Chilli’ Thomas, Usher fell head over heels for stylist Tameka Foster.
However, their love story wasn’t without its obstacles. As Usher embarked on his journey with Foster, the couple faced relentless criticism from fans who disapproved of their relationship. Usher confesses, ‘I think I became very closed and then felt attacked in many ways. It was a bit unconventional in a time when I felt like my female fans were judgmental of the woman that I chose.’
Usher had his own theories as to why the public scrutiny and backlash weighed heavily on their relationship. He speculates that Foster’s dark complexion might have played a part. ‘She was a dark-skinned woman, and maybe they didn’t want to love her in a way because of maybe some reason that had to do with themselves,’ Usher conjectures.
Throughout the interview, Usher courageously opens up about the challenges he faced, not only due to public opinion, but also the personal struggles within their relationship. His candidness provides a refreshing insight into the complexities of love in the spotlight.
Ultimately, Usher’s story serves as a reminder of the toll fame and public scrutiny can take on one’s personal life. It is a testament to his resilience and commitment to finding happiness, despite the obstacles he has faced.
