R & B star Usher was robbed of $1 million worth of jewellery and electronic goods, plus a sex tape featuring him and his ex-wife Tameka Foster (in picture left), in 2009. Now two years later, the X-rated tape has surfaced and is being hawked online, much to the singer’s embarrassment.

Celebrity website TMZ claims that it has seen excerpts of the tape — and two photographs that accompanied it — and the couple in the tape are without a doubt Usher and Tameka.

The U Got It Bad hitmaker is the latest in a long list of celebrities — Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton to Kim Kardashian and Katie Price — whose private moments in the bedroom have been made public. The tape apparently contains an hour-long footage of Usher and Tameka — who married in 2007 and divorced two years later — having sex in the bedroom of their Los Angeles home.

While Tameka has readily owned up to the tape, tweeting: “Hey I was married, happily. So there’s a chance that we might....”, it’s been mum’s-the-word for the normally vocal Usher!
