Man Pleads 'Not Guilty' To Killing Usher's Stepson

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, an Atlanta man is pleading not guilty to charges in the boating accident that resulted in killing music star Usher's 11-year old stepson. Kyle Glover was the son of Usher's ex-wife, Tameka Raymond.

Jeffrey Simon Hubbard was controlling a jet ski incautiously, causing the accident that left the 11-year old brain dead. Kyle was pronounced dead three weeks after the injury, because his heart stopped beating. According to Sandra Rose, the accident also left the teenage daughter of Peaches Chin, co-owner of TAGS boutique with a broken arm.

Hubbard is pleading not guilty to all charges, including first-degree homicide by vessel, Philadelphia Inquirer, reported. They also reported Hubbard crashed into Kyle's watercraft, while he was vacationing with his father in July.

The tragic death of Usher's stepson is quite sad. The singer is also making headlines with positive news. Usher is in the process of recording his latest album.

MTV reported the singer told FADER, "It's gonna be freaking out of her man. Space and sky, that's what it'll be, you look up, and its everything you can imagine."

The singer said he frequently listened to all different types of music. This is what helps him get inspiration for his music. As of right now, there is no official release date for the singers eight album.

The singer is joining Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Shakira on season four of The Voice, reported MTV.

Usher has been in entertainment for a significant part of his life, therefore he is a great candidate for judging aspiring artists. Artists such as The Jackson 5 inspired the singer; he began honing his vocal cords singing in the church choir. According to Notable Biographies, in 1992 the singer won first place on Star Search. It was a talent competition hosted by Ed McMahon. Two years later, the singer released his first album. Usher is now a Grammy award-winning artist, and dedicates his success to his family. The singer did not know his father growing up. This did not stop him from being happy, because he grew up with a large extended family. His family was supportive of his career; they encouraged him to perform.
