I thought Nas and Kelis were engaging in a messy divorce, but from the looks of it those two may have nothing on Usher and Tameka Raymond.

Sources close to the mother of Usher’s kids say Tameka feels that her soon-to-be ex-husband has launched a nasty public smearing campaign.

They told Radar:

“[Tameka] is spitting mad against the campaign that has been waged against her just before Usher filed for divorce in Atlanta. He could have had the papers sealed but chose not to and stories were being leaked about the divorce two days before the papers were actually filed at Atlanta’s Superior Court.”

They also contest claims by Ur-shur that the two have been separated for a year.

The source added:

“Claims that they had been separated for around one year are just not true – they only split up around March of 2009.”

Even worse is word that Usher had a Maury moment and requested a DNA test to see if 6-month old Naviyd was really his son.

I realize I’m not privy to the intricate details of their personal life, but isn’t that request a little low of baby Ben Vereen?

And maybe, just maybe, he could’ve called and told his wife, “Yeah, I’m gonna file for divorce.”

Here’s what Tameka’s BFF told Essence.com:

“She didn’t know that he was going to file. Of course, she knew that there were challenges in their relationship and had been some discord since March and was aware there were some things that needed to be worked through. But did she know that divorce was imminent? No. It was a total surprise.”

Between this, and all of the dirt being being thrown on Tameka’s name, should she step up and pop back at Team Usher?
