On Raymond V Raymond being a career rebound "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. I think it was the first time that doubt was ever amongst the opinions. Like, Can he do it again? Is it possible that this can happen? When you have 15 years of a legacy built, it shouldn’t be questionable with one album."
On how long he was thinking about divorcing Tameka “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. I can’t be unhappy at home and fighting the wars or the opinions outside… ‘You should’ve handled things this way,’ ‘I wish you would’ve said this,’ ‘You’re handling me wrong,’ ‘I don’t like the way I’m feeling about this’—it could be anything, man.”
On supporting younger acts “There is no competition. I think that the artists that are doing great, they definitely need to have the support of the people that have [paved the road]. And that’s why I support Chris. I support Trey Songz. I support the Sammies of the world. I support the Lloyds of the world. Because this is a dying industry. This next tour represents a standard that has to be set for entertainment.”And, here's another little tidbit you may find interesting. Could have more to do with that divorce that anyone may know, even them.

Usher and his mother are back on good terms, but he still wishes she hadn’t deliberately stayed away from his wedding three years ago.
Even though he divorced his former stylist Tameka Foster two years later, the 32-year-old tells October/November Vibe magazine he was “very disappointed” that his mother decided not to watch him exchange vows.
Usher, whose mother used to manage him, says he “wouldn’t do that to my child.” The singer says “parents should be able to have unconditional love for their children and their decisions, regardless of how they feel.”
Usher and Foster have 2-year-old and 1-year-old sons. The October/November issue of Vibe hits newsstands Oct. 12.Welp! [Source]
