Oh, I see why -- crack is whack!

condolences to the family, although i think its pretty bad taste to harp on about it being an exclusive.

I offer my condolences to the family. God Bless You and Stay Strong

@MTO...you had to mention that crack addiction... Whites don't need the Klan when they have agents like you working for them for nothing.

a death is always sad, keep them in prayer

Condolences going out to Usher, it's hard when you lose a parent so suddenly

You and your family are in my prayers. Sorry to hear that...

RIP

Hold ya head and celebrate his life. my prayers go out to ya homie.

My sympathies go out to Usher. Take a good look at that pic, that Usher in 20 years.

I think you're lying again. Who knows if he passed or not. I'll wait to hear about it from a more reliable source. But as for who was at his bedside, I don't believe you. And does Usher's father even live in Atlanta?

my condolences goes out to the family

RIP MR USHER RAYMOND

Oh yeah and how does a frequently travelling celeb maintain a good relationship with a crackhead parent? Most of the time you can't even find them.

Sorry to hear, Condolensces to the family

121269 i saw what u wrote about me in the Beyonce flick with her performing at the awards shows thing.i got 1 question, WHERES ur avatar at?Y U TALKIN SHIIT WITH NO PIC UP? u must be the one teasing gorillas .u an IT or a she or he or maybe a cross dresser. U must be horrible to look at. im the snickers u love to eat biitch.

Stay strong

Sincere condolences to Usher & the Raymond Family. It's sad to see some [EXPLETIVE] here can't even respect the DEAD. That's why blacks are soo far behind other races today! It doesn't matter what type of life he led...god loves him and we can't do a thing about it!

I ma sorry for your lost Usher....keep your head up..peace

Usher, my sincere prayers go out to you and your family. For one to think you wouldn't be able to have a relationship with a parent with an addiction is rediculous. It's important for our loved ones to know we still have their backs even through addiction. I'm glad you were there in his final hours.

Guilty .. I guess you have to hear news from white folks before you believe anything. Sad all around. Usher stay strong.

SHAME ON YOU MTO I MEAN COME ON! COULD YOU HAVE FOUND A FAMILY PIC OR A PIC OF HIM AND USHER TOGETHER? I MEAN POSTING A PIC OF THE MAN'S MUGSHOT? I MEAN IN MAGAZINE ARTICLES USHER NEVER REALLY HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MAN ANYWAY BUT I DO SEND MY PRAYERS OUT TO YOU. REMEMBER YOU ONLY GET ONE FATHER IN LIFE AND YOU HAVE TO RESPECT HIM. THATS IS SO WONDERFUL USHER AND MANEKA CAME TO GIVE LAST RESPECTS. GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN THIS DIFFICULT TIME. STAY STRONG

Deepest condolences to Usher & fam

AND YES CRACK IS WHACK! MANEKA TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THAT MUGSHOT THAT MIGHT BE YOUR HUSBAND IN TWENTY SOME YEARS LOL MAYBE EVEN SOONER ONCE THE ROOTS WEAR OFF THAT YOU PUT ON HIM TO MARRY YOU AND HE SEE YOUR FACE IN THE MORNING.

@ PlaymateJ23 ... your mean..

Anyways, I will pray for the family. I know what its like to loose a father...

Wow this is sad. My prayers go out to Usher and his family.

R.I.P.

sorry to hear this.....

i send my condolences out to the family...

so sad to hear.

it doesn't matter what his father did, done or whatever...that is still his father and God's child....my prayers will be with you and just continue to look to God, it is He who strenthens us all!!! God will get your family through this!!

MTO yall always mess stories up!! How are gonna call him Usher the III, then 2 sentences later you say Usher senior!! that's 2 different people.

if itz true, sorry Usher.

may God grant the Raymond family strength. My prayers are with Usher and his family.

that is very unfortunate iam so sorry to hear that.

R.I.P.

rest in peace!!!

Awww...I wish him and his fam well through this.

@tempertease.........

Unfortunately I didn't read what 121269 said about you. But I have to tell you you are a mess in that pic. I'm sure what he may have said was constructive criticism. Today was my 1st time seeing you on the site. If you look in the Brittney and Method Man stories I wrote you a couple of messages as did other people. So you see 121269 is not the only one who has a few word or wisdom for you.

I have much love for you and your opaque stockings! :)

*of few words of wisdom for you*

my prayers are with the family

So sad to hear, R.I.P. Mr. Raymond

"Wow, I live in Atlanta and have not heard this on the News yet...But may he rest in peace. By the way, MTO you all could have left the crack cocaine part out. We did need to know all that about that man's father, goes to to show you all were trying to be a little MESSY! Ha!

we did not NEED to know...correction.

that's sad. it's true what they say crack is whack.

Hey Man Only God knows the heart. Be blessed, and stay prayerful. I pray that God gives u peace, God Bless

so sad

This is not Usher's biological father. Usher birth father name is Tony Amerson and he lives in the Bay Area.

Oh, I thought it SAID USHER died...i like WTF ..I hope Usher is okay.

My sincere condolence to the Raymonds Family, May God give usher the fortitude to bear the loss.......

My condolences go out to Usher and his family. I couldn't imagine losing a parent.

AND TO MTO, FIGHT YOUR LEGAL BATTLES SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! We are really getting tired of you having to report to us that you'll was the first! does it matter who was first or wasn't...we just want the news!

It's hurts to lose anyone in your family whether they have an addiction or not. I'm so sorry to hear this.

MTO SMDH "You won't hear this report anywhere else in the world."

"Members of the press who use the above information must credit MediaTakeOut.com " YEAH I'm sure they'll get rite on that.

"MediaTakeOut.com is sad to report to you "UmmmHmmmm

aww datz sad! rip :(

He died caues he saw his ugly azz daughter-in-law.

MTO that is full of [EXPLETIVE]. usher & his wife were NOT there. how do i know? because i was there. who ever is giving you the facts are lying to you. & i posted that he was in the hospital in the thread made about ushers wife being on his album..

This is so sad.Stay strong Usher!

THIS IS SO SAD I'M PRAYING FOR USHER AND FAMILY.

RIP

It is always sad when someone loses a parent, whether they had a strong relationship or not, I hope Usher stays strong and since his father was a drug addict for so long, that should encourage Usher to stay away from them- if that aint motivation enough I dont know what it is

this is sad...i'm sorry for your loss Usher

Death is neva an e z thing to deal wit

Oh my...stay strong Usher!!

My Condolences to usher and Family. Teeza- how do you know thats not ushers real father and if not then why the hell is he named after him

Prayers and best wishes to Usher and his family!!

My condolences go out to Usher and his family And to whoever making dumb remarks, it doesn't matter whether or not he was his father... obviously usher accepted him as his father and that's what matters.

grow up

[link to external website]

First of all I want to say I am sorry for this happening to you. My prayers will forever continue to be in your heart. I live here in Atlanta,Ga and I havent heard it on the news yet. But MTO has been on point with their info. May God bless you in this time of grief.

My prayers goes out to usher and his entire family during this sad time. God bless you all.

Sad...Really Sad...

HE NEVER SPOKE ABOUT HIS DAD. I THOUGHT THAT HE HAD ALREADY PASSED AWAY. THIS IS SAD TO HEAR. DRUGS ARE TAKING OUR PEOPLE LEFT AND RIGHT. RIP USHER SR. MY CONDOLENCES TO USHER AND HIS FAMILY.

LOOK "tempertease", I don't want no prolums hure......

PSYCHE!!!!! Bish, it took you to sit your ass up here in this muddafuggin easter outfit ..... Bish, you really need to quit....

I mean, you got on a thick ass looking pink shirt coupled w/ a stone-washed blue jean skirt...and of all things, some damn WHITE stockings w/ some sort of pattern in the bishes and some babydoll shoes..... Get the hell out-a-here..... and is that a bow hanging down your shoulder from the back of your ponytail?. You my friend, need to be ashamed of your damn self....

Oh, and check out the "clutch".. I mean, it's pink too.. what in the fugg you trying to prove here?... Individuality? cause you dayum show'll hit it one the damn head...

If I were to ever see your ass, i would trip you...just on GP........

I love u Usher, u will be in my prayers.

sorry usher about ur lost, wow he really look just like his daddy.

MAY GOD BE WITH USHER AND HIS FAMILY

ITS SAD HOW MTO USED THIS SAD OCCASION TO BOAST ABOUT BEING THE FIRST AND ONLY WEBSITE TO BROADCAST THIS.

God be with you and your family Usher!

MY SYMPATHIES ARE WITH USHER AND HIS FAMILY

My prayers go out to the family, I'm sure it's hard to lose someone as close to your heart as a parent...dont know what your relationship was with your dad but keep ya head up Usher!

@callie1982.............

I have tears rolling down my face!! Your crazy!! LMAO!!!!!!!! That was funny!

@4everblessed75............ Are you okay? You do realize that your on MTO's web-site...right! Your writing as if your talking to Usher himself!

Earth to 4everblessed!

RIP to Usher's dad. I will pray for you Usher!!! To be honest Usher doesn't favor his dad that much, Usher got all of his looks from his mom. Maybe when his dad was younger he probably favored him but not in that picture. Even though his dad has been on crack, Usher's wonderful mother was a good single parent to him. Single mothers do just as fine as married mothers take it from my experience. But anyways Usher stay strong and still be the fine Usher you are sweety. Love ya Usher!!!!!

@GoodGirl2

yes girl, she pissed me off in that outfit.....i mean infit

SORRY TO HEAR THAT CUZ, KEEP YO HEAD UP B.

At least he accepted that his dad was a crackhead and was still there for him and didn't hold no grudges.

@ tempertease... THAT SHIAT WAS FUNNY. " IM THE SNICKER YOU LOVE TO EAT". LOL. I CANT STOP LAUGHING.

Yall have a lot of nerve. MTO yall can take 'Members of the press who use the above information must credit MediaTakeOut.com' comment and feed it to the birds. Have you all EVER cited a credible news source in any story ever posted on this site? No, you have not. So why are yall demanding other people to do so? Don't tell people to do sh!t that you won't even do.

Besides, why would someone want to credit this so-called site when the person who runs this so-call site don't or won't even bother to proofread his work? Simple ass. Would it kill you to go back and re-edit your sh!t...especially after so many members have made you aware of your typos?

"Usher, his wife Tameka and mother Jonetta Patton were all by Usher SR.'s side when he passed."

Here's an exclusive for you: Usher's biological daddy ain't dead because Usher's biological father's name is Usher III...not Usher Sr. Usher Sr. is Usher's great-granddaddy.

Now, tell me again why in the hell should anybody cite you as a source when you are 1. too ignorant and too lazy to proofread your work...which to me are obvious signs that you all know absolutely nothing about journalism; and 2. you just don't know what you're are talking about.

BTW: Usher's father never lived in Atlanta. I hope this story is false and Usher's father isn't dead...then everyone will know just how far you will go to get a juicy story on your site. Not only that, but I also hope Usher sues the crack out of your ass for 'exclusively reporting' such a thing.

I really hate that for Usher

duvalcounty HAD SOMETING TO SAY, DIDN'T HE/SHE?

No ones exempt from heartache not the Wealthy Not the Poor...Rip Usher Raymond III ...My Condolences to the Raymond family

I DONT BELIEVE THIS IS REAL CUZ THEY SAID You won't hear this report anywhere else in the world......SUREEEE WE WONT...WHERE DID YOU GET THE STORY FROM MTO IF WE WONT HEAR THIS REPORT ANYWHERE ELSE...BUT HEY IF IT IS IM TRUELY SORRY FOR THE RAYMOND FAMILY LOSS...BUT IM SURE IF ITS TRUE IT WILL BE ALL ON THE RADIOS EXPECIALLY DOWN HERE IN ATL...

Rest In Peace ,by the way. what was the name of his plastic surgeon? was it DR. Adamns again

MediaTakeOut.com offers its sincere condolences to the entire Raymond family

Members of the press who use the above information must credit MediaTakeOut.com

DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE ABOVE??

How tacky is MTO to offer their condolences and turn around and toot thier own horn for reprting it first!!

Fkn IDIOTS

On to Usher, stay strong!!! I offer my genuine condolences

Usher, my heart goes out to you. I just lost my stepdad who had the same issue, but we loved him to the end. R.I.P. Big Usher and R.I.P. Big Ray.

We love u Usher and u r n our prayers, cause it really hurts to lose a loved one. The surgeon that performed surgery on Mrs/Ms. Donda West was Doctor Jan Adams.

I love U usher U are in mY Prayers..

R.I.P mR. RaYmOND

PLS CAN EVERYONE LEAVE MTO ALONE? THIS IS NOT ABOUT MTO BUT ABOUT USHER'S DAD! MTO HAS BROKEN THIS NEWS FIRST!!!!!

KEMI TORONTO'S MEDIA GOSSIP www.keminications.com

USHER DAD'S PIC LOOKS LIKE A MUGSHOT

CONDOLENCES THOUGH.

Sorry to hear the bad news Ush; my heart goes out to you… You and your family are in my prayers!!!

Usher Raymond III

Usher Raymond III, formerly of Chattanooga, passed away Friday, Jan. 18, 2008, in an Atlanta hospital.

Arrangements will be announced by Taylor Funeral Home of Chattanooga Inc.

Prayers go out to the Raymond family!

H8t 2 burst ur bubble the newspaper in ATL reported it 1st....

here's a link to the funeral home no info as of yet (20jan08) his remains may be in route.

[link to external website]

*****Correction it was the Saturday, January 19, 2008 edition of Chattanooga Times Free Press that reported his death**********************

[link to external website]

@Teeza as far as I can tell Usher Raymond III is Usher Raymond IV's father I haven't been able to find anything about a "Tony Amerson "... "Usher was born in Dallas, Texas, the son of Jonetta Patton (née O'Neal) and Usher Terry Raymond III"

I don't know many men whom would want to pass down their name to a child that is not theirs.

Drug usage may have been a factor in his death but regardless of why he dies he did and my prayers go out to the family!

*died*

My condolences as well...First Kanye's mom and now Usher's dad...One day youre and then your gone.. Tell them you love them when there here

Stay strong bro.. There's gotta be a better place than here.

My condolences to Usher and his mother, and for them to just rember God don't make any mistakes. God loved Usher Sr. more and his name was called to come home. My prayers go out to you Usher and your mother. Stayed prayed up!!!!!

thats sad to see that he passed away but when one soul is taken from another person body it brings in a new life... R.I.P

Um, bish, I see you took that pic down... That is all I wanted...... put up another one so i can really see what I can go in on..... and um, you late as hell....... hoe!

Never heard about his dad being in his life. Matter of fact, this is the first I've heard about Usher's dad.

RIP to Usher's Dad. Sympathies to the family.

He looked really old too but was probably really young. Since crack was introducted into the black community it has devastated so many families. Some addicts' rock bottoms are death like Ike Turner.

Sorry to hear this about Usher's father may he rest in peace! I don't care if he was a struggling drug addict he still was Usher's dad! God bless the dead!

R.I.P

@121269

dammmmmmmmmmmmm man, now we gotta wait even longer for tha album to drop,lol

You know, if you wanted to post the story, then post the story. If you want to be insulting and callous towards the family, then you achieved that. It was not necessary to bring up his crack use, and then idiots like Leanie are hard-up to make such rude comments.

And you still wonder why real news organizations disrespect you? Bwhahaha.

Damn, Sorry to hear this!

My Condolences

Exclusive isn't the point...condolences and prayers are what matters.

sorry to hear

R.I.P.

RIP NOW YOUR FATHER CAN REST IN PEACE AND YOU BE STORGE FOR YOUR FAMILY YOUR SON IS GOING TO NEED YOU NOW.
