Usher’s ex Tameka Foster on son’s accident: ‘I was angry that it happened on his watch’

Usher’s ex, Tameka Raymond talks to ‘Good Morning America’ on Aug. 13, 2013, talking about the pool accident that almost killed her son, Usher Raymond V.
‘I was mad, because I was like ‘How did this happen? Who was watching him? Why was my son underwater for, you know, nearly three minutes?” she said during her appearance.
Tameka Foster doesn’t blame ex-husband Usher for their 5-year-old son’s near-death accident. But the 42-year-old stylist is still hoping to alter their custody arrangement after the recent scare.
On “Good Morning America” Wednesday, Foster opened up about the frightening incident.
“I don’t know if there’s a way for blood pressure to peak higher so quick,” she said of the moment when she learned that her son, Usher V, had been trapped underwater while attempting to retrieve a toy. “I was mad, because I was like ‘How did this happen? Who was watching him? Why was my son underwater for, you know, nearly three minutes?’”
At the time of the accident, the little boy was being cared for by an aunt at his father’s Atlanta home. Two male contractors working at the home rescued the child after his arm got caught in a pool drain.
