The New York Daily News' Rush & Molly are reporting that R&B crooner Usher may be seeking the services of his mother as his manager again after allegedly firing her last year.

According to reports, Usher dropped the shocking bomb of him replacing his mother just a few days before Mother's Day. A short time later, sources confirmed that he was hiring Benny Medina, the man behind Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez's careers, to take the wheel.

Usher reportedly began feeling the sting of his decision after his new album "Here I Stand" failed to meet the sales and chart status of his previous release "Confessions." Sources are now saying that he blames Medina for his album's "poor" performance.

According to reports, Medina tried to soothe the sulking singer by convincing him that the album's sales were commendable given the current climate of the record industry. All was well until N.O. native Lil Wayne smashed that theory by selling over one million copies of "Tha Carter III" in it's first week.

"Usher was livid!," a source told Rush & Molly. "He threatened to fire everyone."
