HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Usher's 911 call last month in which he called the cops on his estranged wife Tameka Foster has surfaced online.
"I'm actually wanting to report a situation where my car has been keyed," the R&B star says at the beginning of the 911 call.
Usher then tells the operator that he had filed a complaint the day before about a potential domestic violence situation with a woman he refers to as his ex-wife.
The 31-year-old singer claims that he discovered the scratches on his car following the initial call to authorities.

LOS ANGELES — Usher took the stage at Tuesday's public memorial for Michael Jackson at the Staples Center, where he paid tribute to his childhood idol.
In an emotional performance, the R&B star covered "Gone Too Soon" off Jackson's 1991 album "Dangerous." The song had special meaning to the King of Pop as it was dedicated to the memory of Ryan White, a young AIDS patient befriended by Jackson who died at the age of 18.
At one point during his performance, Usher touched Jackson's casket lying in front of the stage.
Fighting back tears, Usher struggled to complete the song as he was surrounded by members of Jackson's family.

LOS ANGELES — Usher is going solo.
The 30-year-old R&B star filed for divorce Friday from his wife of less than two years, Tameka Foster Raymond, according to court documents obtained by The Associated Press. Usher, whose real name is Usher Raymond IV, filed the petition in Superior Court in Atlanta.
The couple, who married in a lavish Georgia wedding in August 2007, have two young sons together, Usher Raymond V, 18 months, and Naviyd, 6 months.
The 38-year-old Raymond also has three children from a previous marriage.
Usher and Raymond have denied problems in their marriage almost from the day they first tied the knot. In May 2008, the Grammy winner denied reports that his wife had filed for a separation.
