Worst: Usher and Tameka Foster's Custody Battle - Things got increasingly ugly between exes Usher and Tameka this year, as the custody battle for their sons reached a feverish peak. Tameka hurled allegations of infidelity and misconduct while Ush's team implied Tameka was an unfit parent and may have abused drugs. Though the tragic accident which claimed the life of Usher's stepson, Tameka's son from a prior marriage, momentarily brought the feuding exes together, it wasn't long before they were back at each others throats in a court room.

After a long, drawn out court battle with his ex-wife, Tameka Raymond, Usher was awarded full primary custody of their two sons, according to RadarOnline.com.

The R&B crooner and Tameka have been embroiled in a lengthy courtroom battle over their boys, Usher V and Naviyd, that has often gotten ugly. After Usher filed for divorce in 2009, following two years of marriage, the legal wrangling between the two included allegations of drugs, cheating, excessive partying and child neglect.

Losing custody of her sons is yet another devastating loss to Usher’s former wife. Tameka’s 11-year-old son from a prior relationship, Kile Glover, died in a tragic jet skiing accident this summer. But despite the passing of her son, Raymond soldiered on to fight for custody of her children with Usher.

Official documents in the court ruling have yet to be released, but check into BET.com for more updates on this breaking story.
