Usher's wedding has been mysteriously scrapped.

The R&B superstar was hoping to wed his pregnant fiancee Tameka Foster on
Saturday afternoon at record executive Antonio 'L.A.' Reid's home in Long
Island, New York.

Flowers, catering and even entertainment by Usher's pal Robin Thicke was
booked when the "Yeah!" singer's publicist announced the ceremony was
cancelled earlier in the day Saturday.

The singer's spokeswoman, Patti Webster, says, "No additional information
will be given regarding the circumstances of the cancellation, but we
hope the privacy of this matter will be respected."

Webster refused to comment on whether or not the couple had split.

Usher announced his stylist girlfriend Foster was pregnant in January and
the couple confirmed engagement reports in June.

News of the wedding cancellation comes just days after tabloids reported
Foster has a secret criminal past.

In the current issue of the National Enquirer, Foster's half-sister has
spoken out about the stylist's past--including a romance with a drug
dealer, who was 'executed' by a rival gang.

Valencia Foster told the tabloid, "Tameka is giving him (Usher) a
big-time snow job."

The half-sister reveals she was sworn to secrecy when Usher went home to
Oakland, California, to meet his future in-laws recently.

She adds, "(He said) 'You know all the family secrets--tell me about
them.' Before I could say a word, Tameka kicked me so hard under the
table she almost put a hole in my leg. Then she pulled me aside and
whispered, 'Don't tell him anything.'"

But Valencia couldn't keep quiet--she told the Enquirer her half-sister
was once involved with a married drug dealer and she was arrested twice,
allegedly serving 20 days behind bars for petty theft.
