But Usher had another performance today.....in an Atlanta courtroom. As he prepares his Looking for Myself album (June 12) Usher showed up for a courtroom battle with ex-wife Tameka Raymond....looking for an agreement.
The ex-duo are STILL fighting over child support and a temporary custody agreement in private mediation. If they don't make an agreement soon, a judge will likely step in.
