Yeah I meant to comment on this as well. It was very big of him to put aside his personal differences for Tameka in order to help her in this emergency situation.

EXCLUSIVE: Usher's Stepson -- Investigation Into Accident Underway

The Department of Natural Resource in Atlanta is investigating the accident that left Kyle Glover, stepson of R&B star Usher in critical condition ... an investigation which could take months to complete. As TMZ first reported, the 11-year-old was struck in the head by a jet ski while riding in an inner tube on Lake Lanier. He was rushed to a nearby hospital and remains there in critical condition. Robin Hill, a rep for the Department of Natural Resources (Wildlife Resources Division), tells TMZ the department's Critical Incident Response Team will recreate the accident on the lake to help determine what happened. Using special computer programs, they will attempt to figure out how fast the boats were going at the time of the accident. Hill says that rangers have been in touch with the driver of the jet ski and remain in contact with him. Once the department completes their investigation, they will turn their recommendation over to the district attorney who would then decide whether or not to file charges.

Usher’s Stepson Kyle Glover Has Been Pronounced Brain Dead–Tameka Foster Glover’s Son With Ex-Husband Ryan Glover Has Been Declared Brain Dead–Keep The Family In Your Prayers!!!

Posted on July 9, 2012


Regretfully has to report that following an accident on Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Georgia yesterday involving a jet ski, Tameka Foster’s 11 year old son, Kyle Glover, has been declared brain dead.
The ex-wife of R&B sensation Usher has been at her son’s side since she got news of the incident and there is no news on whether or not the family will take him off of life support.
According to reports Kyle has not experienced any brain activity since he was admitted to the hospital and doctors have officially announced him brain dead today.
Usher arrived at the hospital late last night to be at his stepson’s side after he chartered a jet for Tameka to fly in to be with her son following the accident as she was out of town.
Kyle was struck in the head by a passing Jet Ski while riding on an inner tube. The Jet Ski was driven by a 38 year-old man who is currently cooperating with the investigation. A 15-year-old girl was also injured but there are no updates on her state.
Please, send your prayers to Tameka, Usher and their loved ones at this very difficult time.
Our minds, hearts and prayers are with Kyle.

Posted on Jul 08, 2012
Splash News/WENN

Usher’s former wife Tameka Foster has exclusively spoken to RadarOnline.com after a tragic jet ski accident in Atlanta left her 11-year-old son Kyle critically injured on Saturday.

“He’s bad,” she told us about her boy who is from her marriage to Ryan Glover.

Kyle was hit in the head by a jet ski being driven by a 38-year-old man as the child sat with a teen girl in an inner tube being pulled by a boat on Lake Lanier.

PHOTOS: Cutest Celebrity Kids

Usher has two children with Tameka; Usher V, four, and Naviyd, three.

Despite their acrimonious divorce and ongoing custody battle, Usher remains close with Tameka’s three other kids and has offered to help any way he can.

E! Online reports that Usher chartered a jet so that Tameka could fly to be by her son’s side who had been air-lifted to Children’s Healthcare at Egelston Hospital in Atlanta.

“Kyle, You are strong.. You'll be saved I know it. I love you my baby. I need all #Prayers for my son! thanks you everybody!” Tameka wrote on her Facebook page.

My prayers are with Tameka & her family. I chatted with her before. She is a sweet person.

this is very sad. my heart goes out to the family and it was a very, very decent thing that usher did to put his differences aside with tameka and make sure that she was able to be at her son's side without delay.

(i better stop now before the poster known as ducci-whatever comes by to tell me that my feelings aren't genuine because after all, usher is a celebrity that i don't even know.)

The Latest Up To Date Details On Master Kile Glover!

Posted on July 9, 2012


It is with tear filled eyes that I write this report on the update of Master Kile Glover’s condition. Almost every weekend I would see Kile with his father, Ryan Glover at the barber shop. Kile was a delightful young boy with a great personality.
However, tragedy struck this weekend when 11-year-old Kile Glover, son of Tameka Raymond and Ryan Glover, was struck by a jet ski in Atlanta. While tubing, Kile was hit by a jet ski being driven by a 38-year-old family friend.
At just 11 years old, doctors pronounced Kile brain dead from the accident.
Kile was born in Atlanta to Tameka and Ryan Glover, who at the time was a clothier. Kile’s father is currently serving as the president of the new black digital network Bounce TV, and before that served as an executive for Peachtree TV, an independent Atlanta television station.
Kile graduated elementary school in May, where he won medals for academic achievement. Kile has a love for art, cooking and academics.

When he was six, his parents divorced, but soon after Usher came into his life when Tameka married him the same year. Like his stepfather Usher, Kile also enjoys singing. Kile often showed off his personality on his YouTube Channel with his show, “The Kile Show".

In 2010, Tameka wrote a Mother’s Day blog where she described Kile as “an artisan.” She continued, “He’s Andy Warhol meets Bill Gates coupled with Justin Bieber and infused with Emeril.”
Kile Glover is the third eldest of Tameka’s five children.
Fight Kile Glover fight!
