Usher and his kids, (L-R) Usher V and Naviyd, on the set of “The Voice”
Usher’s son Usher Raymond V is in the ICU at an Atlanta hospital after a serious accident in the singer’s pool Monday, reports TMZ.
According to sources, Usher was not home at the time. The child was playing in the pool with his aunt at around 6 p.m. on Monday and saw a toy in the drain. He dove down to get the toy and his arm got stuck in the drain. The aunt immediately dove in to rescue him but couldn’t get his hand out. The maid then dove in and tried but was also unsuccessful.
The maid screamed for help. Two men working in the house came out, dove in and freed the boy. He was given CPR immediately and rushed to the hospital. Usher arrived and drove in the ambulance with his son.
Usher Raymond V
Usher Raymond V, 5, is the eldest of Usher’s two sons with ex-wife Tameka Raymond. According to TMC, Usher and Tameka were at the hospital at press time.
Doctors have been running a series of tests and say he’ll be ok, according to TMZ.
This is the second accident to strike a child in Usher’s family. Tameka’s 11-year-old son Kile from a previous relationship died last year from injuries sustained during a jet ski accident.
Well, you can count on Tameka taking Usher back to court to get custody after this incident!
