In the midst of promoting his latest album, Here I Stand, on TRL Usher defends his wife.




"I love my wife very, very much," he said. "There was a little rumor earlier this week about us separating. It ain't true. We in love. Get outta there," he said, raising his left hand and showing off his wedding band. "Matter of fact, I'm tired of people continuing to talk so much trash about me, know what I'm saying? And my relationship.

"My wife is not 40 years old. I love her to death and I'm a black, strong man in America standing up for my people — as a man to my wife, to my son, to my family," he continued, removing his sunglasses and talking directly into the camera. "I'm making a stand that a lot of us should make. I coulda been like any other man who has a child and live with that woman and continue to just play the game. ... I'm trying to do it the right way. This is the way your supposed to do it! Pay attention, fellas."

Usher then turned his back to the camera, while the studio audience applauded wildly. "TRL" host Damien Fahey then attempted to continue with the segment, only to be interrupted as Ush began part two of his verbal assault.

"And my wife had nothing to do with me firing my mother — nothing like that, that's trash," he said, referring to his mother, Jonetta Patton, ceasing to be his manager last year. "I hear y'all talking crazy out there, she's a beautiful black woman. Stop. Stop talking. And I love her. Stop it."

No this mofo didn't go on an unnecessary rant because somebody's talking about his wife! Da hell?!?! Am I the only one sick of this dude? Why is he letting what America says get to him so much?  **cough cough** He loves the spotlight. **cough cough**.  Anywhoo...he ain't making his marriage situation any better by coming on TV whining like a little girl.  If it ain't true, don't sweat it!  He needs to sit back, take a chill pill and take care of his family.
