Apparently Usher didn’t learn his lesson the first time around. He has another older woman calling the shots for him and taking control of his career. Hello mommy issues.
Page Six reports that shortly after his divorce from his stylist turned wife, Tameka Foster, he replaced her with Grace Miguel. Surprise. She is his stylist and now co-manager. Grace is calling the shots in his empire now and convincing him to make huge changes.
“The 43-year-old former Def Jam executive who acts as the hip-hop artist’s co-manager and stylist is urging her beau to clear out his staff including stylists, choreographers and tour managers and replace them with her people, an insider says.”
Usher’s agent, Mark Cheatham, was first to go. Miguel convinced him to fire Mark and use members of her team including a new publicity camp. CCA has removed the ‘OMG’ singer from the client roster. Don’t worry too much for Cheatham. He still represents Justin Bieber.
The report also points out that Tameka also convinced him to fire his mother, Jonetta Patton, as his manager shortly after they married. Usher played it off as a “gift of retirement” for his mom, but Foster was pulling the strings. The sources also assert that the 32 year old is at Miguel’s mercy and “will do whatever she wants him to do right now.”
