Naviyd Ely Raymond is the younger son of singer and dancer Usher and his first wife Tameka Foster. What could be the inspiration behind the kid’s name? His name is a variation of Persian word Naveed, signifying Good News and Ely, is a Hebrew baby name which means ‘Jehovah is God’.

His famed dad is granted the primary custody of both Naviyd and his brother Usher. Foster tried to get custody after accusing the musician of being an absent father but failed. Now, they seem to be pretty good co-parents who regularly share photos of their sons on social media.

Naviyd dreams to become a scientist as he wants to cure his brother’s diabetes. He loves cooking and already shows great dancing skills. Moreover, he accompanied Usher to The Voice show and the ceremony of getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2019, Naviyd and his brother appeared at the Kids Choice Awards alongside their mom.

Naviyd Ely Raymond’s father and mother began dating in 2005. At that time, her mother, Tamika was already a single mom of three sons born from a relationship with Atlanta clothier, Ryan Glover.

After two years of dating, the couple was finally going to exchange their wedding ring but the ceromony was called off by Usher himself just an hour before the scheduled time as he was not ready for the commitment.

But a month later, on August 3, the wedding was organized once again in Atlanta, Georgia, in an intimate civil ceremony. 

In an interview with Opera Winfrey, Naviyd Raymond’s father mentioned that he was ready for the commitment because he wanted to take responsibility and does not wanted to be like his father, who abandoned him when he was only seven years of age. 

On September 1, the couple held a lavish party to celebrate their nuptials at the Chateau Elan Winery and Resort outside of Atlanta.

From their relationship, also they shared their another child, Usher “Cinco” Raymond V, who is the first child of the couple born in November 2007.

However, Naviyd Ely Raymond’s parents’ relationship could not work for a long time, and the couple got separated in 2009. Tameka accused him of cheating, the couple decided to go in for a divorce. 

In the begining, there was a dispute regarding the child’s custody and the dispute span for three years. 

Finally, on August 24, 2012, the judge gave Usher primary custody of his two sons with Tameka

For the sake of  Naviyd Ely Raymond and his brother Cinco, the terms between his parents are going good and in a friendly way now, and they are often spotted together.

A year later, Foster again filed for custody of both her sons after Naviyd Ely Raymond’s brother Usher V nearly died after being stuck in a drain while in the swimming pool, citing carelessness from Usher. The case was dismissed soon with Usher regaining custody of his sons.

Naviyd’s father, Usher is one of the best musician and selling artists, having sold more than 80 million records globally.  The legendary artist begins the singing journey after his grandmother discovered his singing talent when he was nine years old. Then his parents moved to Atlanta to provide better singing opportunities and environment to him. 

Naviyd doesn’t think that his father is a great singer and tells it to him openly. According to Usher, when he took his son Naviyd Ely Raymond to the studio, he wasn’t impressed with what he was hearing and told Usher that he was a bad singer. Usher further said that little Naviyd acts like a star and isn’t afraid to criticize his father or someone else for that matter. Looks like Usher’s youngest child is ready for the spotlight.

Usher loves spending time with his youngest son. He has been seen taking Naviyd to parks and zoos for visits. Cameras have spotted him hanging around with both his sons on a regular basis. He even takes his youngest kid to walks in the park and other areas. It is clear that his love for his two sons is eternal.

In his birthday note, Usher noted that he loved his son, Naviyd Ely Raymond with all his heart revealing that his son brings light into their lives as a bold and courageous little man. Usher also stated that his son pushed his father to post more on Instagram, so he listened to his son’s advice.

Furthermore, in the continuation of his birthday note, Usher advised his son to continue to know what he wants and who he is because he is beyond special to those who know him.

Here’s the caption:
