After Usher and his ex-wife, Tameka Raymond’s, son, Usher Raymond V, nearly drowned yesterday in a swimming pool accident, Tameka is now filing for custody of their two sons, claiming Usher is an unfit parent.
The accident happened while the younger Usher was playing with his aunt in the swimming pool of his family home. While searching for his toy, the child’s got his arm stuck in the pool’s drain. He nearly drowned to death before being saved by two male workers who dove in the pool to free him after his aunt and a maid were unable to free his arm.
After the younger Usher was rushed to the hospital, doctors declared he’d be okay. However, with both parents present, the accident ignited another custody battle.
According to TMZ, Tameka has filed legal documents asking for an emergency hearing later this week regain custody of her children.

Tameka especially has a grudge against Usher’s aunt, who was playing with the younger Usher when he nearly drowned, claiming that she is too physical in disciplining the kids.
Tameka also claims that the aunt once let a stalker into the home.
