Deja vu? Usher’s new girlfriend is upsetting his record label. The “Yeah!” singer is reportedly involved in a May/December relationship with Grace Miguel – who until recently worked as an exec for Def Jam Records a rival to Usher’s Jive label – and she has taken over much of the decision making on his latest release, to the chagrin of label bosses, an insider told The New York Daily News Wednesday.

Grace’s involvement has reportedly “complicated” the making of the Raymond vs. Raymond LP and is upsetting record company executives – who reportedly shelved the album indefinitely.

“Some people see it as a conflict of interest. She’s still under contract with Def Jam, but Grace seems to be calling the shots behind the scenes on Usher’s album. It has complicated things tremendously. Usher has her calling the shots now. Grace has been taking calls with the big bosses at Jive regarding Usher’s CD, and the label doesn’t like it.”
Grace’s romance with Usher is also upsetting the star’s overbearing momager, Jonetta Patton, who is reportedly “mad” that Grace is “meddling in her management affairs”

Usher’s current predicament mirrors one with his ex-wife.

Tameka Foster — who was unceremoniously dumped by the singer earlier this year — was said to be behind the firing of his mother as his manager in May 2007. Jonetta was reinstated after Usher’s Here I Stand album failed to achieve the success of his platinum-selling 2004 effort, Confessions.
