Usher's ex-wife Tameka Raymond 'demands' that he gets drug tested

Tameka Raymond is demanding that her ex-husband, Usher, be tested for drug use it has been claimed.

The 40-year-old stylist is reportedly worried that the R&B singer is using illegal substances around her children.

According to TMZ Raymond (nee Foster), is 'freaking out' because as time passes he has more time to get any drugs out of his system.

The website claims that the 33-year-old singer has refused to be drug-tested on the grounds that her demands are 'frivolous and unfounded.'

He thinks she is simply trying to 'harass and embarrass' him.

The site says that Tameka is so worried about the situation that she's even returned to the judge who presided over their custody battle in order to plead her case.

She wants this done quickly, as she's worried any illegal substances will pass through his system before he can be tested.

The two married in August of 2007, but split quickly after.

The Yeah singer filed for divorce in June 2009, citing irreconcilable differences and claiming to have lived separately from his wife for a year.

She rebutted his claims, saying that he had been living in her Atlanta home until March 2009.

The divorce was finalised on November 4, 2009.

Usher is attacked by a furious woman

Hell hath no fury like a woman who can't find a parking spot, as Usher found the hard way.

The 33-year-old singer was attacked by a furious woman who caught him illegally parked in a handicapped spot last weekend in Atlanta, Georgia.

TMZ caught the entire debacle on camera, which was then posted to their website.
The woman went crazy at the R&B star, screaming: 'You don't belong here!' at him while he sat in his car.

Before her husband could drag her away from the scene, she shook out a beer can and sprayed it at the Yeah singer through his open SUV window.
Usher reportedly retaliated. A witness says that he grabbed a water bottle and splashed her back.

This incensed her so much that she then kicked his door while he was sitting behind the wheel of his vehicle until he came out to confront her.

She then demanded he move his car and he refused.

The woman then started screaming, waving her arms and, eventually, even grabbed his hooded sweatshirt.

To make the whole scene even stranger, a man in an Elvis costume was wandering around TMZ's video.
