During his time at TRL yesterday, Usher launched into a rant dismissing gossip that he and his wife were heading to divorce court and calling gossip about his personal life “trash.”

*snaps fingers in Z formation*

“I love my wife very, very much,” he said. “There was a little rumor earlier this week about us separating. It ain’t true. We in love. Get outta there,” he said, raising his left hand and showing off his wedding band. “Matter of fact, I’m tired of people continuing to talk so much trash about me, know what I’m saying? And my relationship.

“My wife is not 40 years old. I love her to death and I’m a black, strong man in America standing up for my people — as a man to my wife, to my son, to my family,” he continued, removing his sunglasses and talking directly into the camera. “I’m making a stand that a lot of us should make. I coulda been like any other man who has a child and live with that woman and continue to just play the game . . . I’m trying to do it the right way. This is the way your supposed to do it! Pay attention, fellas.”

DO YOU NOT RESPECT HIM . . . QUESTION MARK?!
