Usher is trying hard to promote his new album, as it is released tomorrow (May 27th, 2008). Well, he is featured on the cover of Entertainment Weekly and he speaks on his hurt from the publics dislike of his wife and why his Mama wasn't happy.

On Tameka:

''I was reading very hurtful things about the person that I chose to love, and I felt like they were taking stabs at me or my choice,'' Usher says. ''What about the fact that in our society there are not enough fathers for our black young men? And here I am being a great example and we don't embrace that?! Think about that. I wanna do it right, but I'm doing something wrong? That doesn't make sense.''

On His Mama Not Attending His Wedding:

Usher's mom was conspicuously absent from the event, which only added to the spectacle. ''My mother made a decision not to come to my wedding because she didn't really agree with my decision,'' he explains, declining to specify whether she disagreed with his choice of wife or his decision to fire her. ''I don't know why,'' he offers simply. ''She's never told me and I've never asked her.'' Though he demurs when pressed further for details, he reveals: ''It hurt me very much not to see her there 'cause I would've liked for her to be there, not to mention that I paid so much money for her to be accommodated and her behind didn't show up. [Laughs] But just as she's made stands, so have I.'' (That may help explain the title of his new album, though he insists, ''It's not me lashing out at anyone; it was the hottest name for the project, and a testimony to how certain I was about certain issues.'')
