Singer Usher Raymond is on the cover of the October/November issue of Vibe Magazine. In an interview with the magazine, the 32-year old artist talked about his career, divorcing Tameka Foster as well as his thoughts about his mother not attending his wedding three years ago:

“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. Were there hard times in the process? Absolutely.

“During our disagreements, that’s when I really began to contemplate marriage and if this is someone whom I’m compatible with. 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.
