Tameka Raymond may have been one of the luckiest females alive all because she married one of the hottest singers on the planet, Usher but the new Atlanta Exes star is revealing that "everything that glitters isn't gold."

Tameka claims that it is hard to find love again when you have dated one of the most famous guys in entertainement history. In a video interview with VH1 gearing up for her new show, Atlanta Exes, Raymond shared things about her past with Usher, and says although she loves being single, it's hard to find a new man after being with the father of her sons.

"I met my ex-husband about 14 years ago when I was working with him as a fashion stylist. Over the time that I worked for him we became very good friends. He was like my best friend. We talked about everything, we had so many interests in common. And over time our relationships dissolved around us and we ended up going on a few dates."

Raymond continued, "For me, my life changed a lot in being married to him. I had to kind of be a little more conscious and cognizant of things that I did, that I said, that I tweeted, that I ate [ laughs]. There was just a lot of pressure, a lot of image concerns. You set aside a lot of what you want to do personally and put it on the backburner to be there and be the backbone for your mate. Your travel schedule is so inconsistent and you're kind of all over in this place and that place. Now I'm kind of just able to wake up and say, 'Wow today is my day, I'm doing what I want to do or what I need to do for me.' I love being single and I love dating, but the thing I don't like is that at times you can't really confide in these people that you date. The first opening line for every man is 'I don't know how to dance, but...' Aw come on! Did I say you had to dance? Men are really always making little small references to my ex-husband. It's very annoying and sometimes it nixes them out. Ixnay, oolyay, bye!"

Raymond said at times things were annoying, but that comes with being with a famous person, "That has to get annoying, but I guess it's what comes with the territory when you were once attached to a famous man."
