The R&B star has rehired his mother, Jonnetta Patton, as his manager, the pair said in a statement released to People.com. After parting ways in May 2007, Patton has reclaimed her position from interim manager Benny Medina.
"He wanted her to come back onboard, and she decided to," an unnamed source told the site. "He had really poor management and wanted her back."
Usher's biggest success this year came with the single "Love in This Club," which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Subsequent singles from the album Here I Stand have failed to crack the top 10.
For his part, Medina defended the sales drop in his own statement to People.
"With an artist like Usher, the bar is set really high. Whether it was management, marketing or the music, we achieved a #1 single and a #1 album," he said. "It is a completely new day and time in music now. In four years, his audience, demographic and musical direction has changed. Records like Lil Wayne's 'Lollipop' are the type of phenomena that 'Yeah' was in 2004."
