Mr. Raymond’s mother Jonetta Patton allegedly quit as his manager in the past recent months for the second time. So his label Jive has been pushing his new Raymond vs. Raymond album back (this latest time to March 30th) because he can’t keep a stable team in place. According to the NY Daily News, it’s all because of Usher’s new cougar girlfriend Grace Miguel.
Apparently the crooner and his mother — and former manager– Jonetta Patton are officially on the outs and severed their professional ties in late November 2009.
“She walked away from the project because Usher had his girlfriend [and former Def Jam executive] Grace Miguel was all in the mix,” says the source.
“She felt as though if she didn’t end things when she did, it would permanently affect their personal relationship,” continues the source.
Usher had apparently declared that he would manage himself, with the help of Miguel, but the label felt that “there was chaos in the camp.”
