Usher and Tameka Raymond Working Toward Custody Settlement » Gossip - It's the tiniest sliver of a silver lining, but it looks like the tragedy that will most likely take the life of Usher's stepson will also lead to a custody settlement between the singer and ex-wife Tameka Raymond.

As previously reported, 11-year old Kyle Glover - Tameka's child from a previous relationship - has been declared brain dead following a tragic jet skiing accident in Atlanta last week.

In response, Usher has been spending a lot of time over the past few days by Tameka's side - and TMZ sources say the sides have softened in what has been a contentious back-and-forth regarding custody of the two children they had as a couple.

Usher met with his attorneys this week and advised them to give Tameka "a majority" of custody, insiders claim, while the artist is also now willing to "significantly" up his child support offer.

No comment yet from lawyers on either side, but the settlement is labeled as "reasonable" by those in the know, as Usher feels terrible for all his ex is going through at the moment and reportedly has no interest in dragging out their fight any longer.
