Mama Patton Back Off The Bench

Almost everyone remembers Usher's first bitch-made henpecked move after getting with Maneka was to fire mother/long-time manager Jonetta Patton right before Mother's Day 2007.

Usher tried to backpeddle in a recent interview with "VIBE" magazine: "I decided to not fire, not get rid of, but to give [my mother] the ultimate compliment — to retire her to be a full-time grandmother."

Yeah whatever. Well I guess Jonetta's coming back to the game like Jordan wearing the 4-5 since Usher's album "Here I Stand" isn't doing nearly as well as he had hoped.
