The rapper is said to feel 'distraught' after doctors revealed Kyle Glover - the child of the singer's ex-wife Tameka and her former partner Ryan Glover – had 'not experienced any brain activity' since being admitted to hospital on Saturday after he was struck on the head by a jet ski in Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Georgia.

'[He] is emotionally drained from the accident. He feels incredibly awful, distraught … it’s been a complete rollercoaster of emotions.'
The schoolboy was struck in the head by a 38-year-old man riding a jet ski as he rode an inner tube towed by a speedboat on Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Georgia.
He was unresponsive when he was rescued from the water.

Tameka was 'extremely thankful' to Usher after he reportedly chartered a plane allowing her to fly to Atlanta to be at Kyle's side, and she has taken to her Facebook page to thank fans for their support and urge them to pray for her son.
The mother-of-five wrote: 'Kyle, You are strong ... You'll be saved I know it. I love you my baby. I need all #Prayers for my son! thanks you everybody! (sic)'
A decision has yet to be made on whether to take the youngster off life support, and the incident is now being investigated.
