Today I on VH1 I heard that the "other woman" being preggy for Usher was a publicity stunt to sell more albums. Is that true? If it is I will look at him in a whole new light.
(I brought Confessions on bootleg anyway.)
ok...umm...if takes a man to admit to cheating on his girlfriend and having an illegitimate baby with a woman he barely knows to get peeps to buy an album...then our society is more twisted than i presumed. In all honesty, peeps were gonna by the album regardless. He's a good looking guy, who can dance, hold a steady note, and has catchy songs. He coulda been singing about boo boo on stick, but as long as it was on that beat peeps woulda been rockin to it.
Well...I guess you're right, society is twisted. I have known that for the last few years. Every since it became "cool" to do things that were known as being negative in the past, society has had things twisted. Why do you think 50 got all the hype? It's sad how many people were on him tough just because he really got shot. I guess that "verified" him as bein a **** in many people's eyes. The whole image thing is even worst in rap. Rappers do anything to sell records, such as leavin a gun on their seat and gettin pulled over and goin to jail for havin a weapon just to make them seem gangsta. But at the same time, controversy has ALWAYS sold, whether it's in music or movies. Look at Marilyn Manson when he was big. He claimed to be a christian, but he would tear up burnt bibles and throw them into the crowd. People love negative things for whatever ignorant reason.

SO SO TRUE !!!!
I cant even front...Im one of those people that feed into the whole negativity. The entertainment world has me brainwashed. :? :arrow:
Yeah, he said in the very beginning that the song was fictional.
Thats what gets my about entertainers...right before their cds comes out, they go on all about the songs rep them and what goes on in their lives. When you really think about what some of them sing about, they are really f**k up in the head or real big freaks.
LOL...i've often thought that too

But I do remember him saying it was not ture. But the whole uses of the idea had people talkin, which lead to him to sale alot of records.
just about everyone confirmed in this thread that Usher did admit to cheating on Chilli & that he didn't really get another chick pregnant...my question, though, is....is there a possibility that he in fact did not get another female pregnant but really did use the story as a way to sell records anyway??? maybe that's what the woman on VH1 meant...

Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo. If it's any consolation, you're among the many. That's why peeps get a kick out of watching tv shows that follow up on celebs, or reading articles thas **** in their lives. We hold them up on pedastal and view their existence as somehow more fulfilling than our own. Everybody's trying to reach for the stars
Yuuup I seen it on VH1 Too it was Wendy Williams **** **** sayin that...she has a bad rap with entertainers anyway cuz she always got summin BAD to say about em....I DO think this WAS a publicity stunt tho...I think it was all PLANNED matta fact, how IRONIC that RIGHT before his CD drops he suddenly has the TASTE to skip out on chilli after bein together for almost 3 years...CONFESS it to her an THEN title the name of his CD CONFESSIONS....thas like a SLAP in the DAMN face! Its also kinna fishy how he DIDNT deny the baby allegations until AFTER he hit triple PLATINUM in the charts...the muh fukka wanted to make SHO we bought tha hoe b4 he actually fess up in sayin it was a JOKE! I think this is the ONLY time I'd agree wit Wendy when she said he was FAKE (to his face) because if your so much as a loser that you'd sacrifice your relationship for your career then you need to be by ya DAMN self from JUMP!...HUMPH! *walks off mumblin* Men make me SICK they only think whats best for THEM ole stankin **** lazy **** good for nuthn ****.... :arrow:
Usher and Chilli got back 2gether. It prolly was a publicity stunt buuuuut i burned the CD anyway b/c i refuse to support a man who cheated on his woman. And thats what happened, he got a platinum CD for cheating on his woman. makes me so mad ::arrrrrrgh:: :evil:

i was pretty sure he said he didn't have a baby before the album came out
either way...its whatever...
my copy is burned (hehe) but i think that even without the story he woulda sold because of what someone said earlier. he's popular. his other albums sold without as much controversy.
