Usher recently opened up about why Justin Bieber chose not to join him during his Super Bowl 2024 Halftime Show. Despite the initial plans, Usher revealed in an interview on 'The Breakfast Club' radio show that Bieber decided to tell a different story at this time and that he respects that choice.
With a history of mentoring Bieber during the early stages of his career, Usher expressed that there is no bad blood between them. They had a brief conversation and agreed to collaborate in the future. Usher also mentioned reaching out to other artists for the halftime show, including Alicia Keys, H.E.R., Jermaine Dupri, Lil Jon, Ludacris, and Will.i.am.
Even though Bieber opted to watch the game and Usher's performance from a VIP box with his wife, Hailey, Usher is confident that Bieber will play at a future Super Bowl. Usher expressed his belief in Bieber's career deserving a Super Bowl performance and hinted at that possibility down the road.
Despite Bieber's recent hiatus from touring due to health concerns, he made a return to the stage at an NHL All-Star party earlier. Usher also shared personal news, revealing his marriage to his long-time girlfriend, Jennifer Goicoechea, on the same day as the Super Bowl.
Looking ahead, Usher is gearing up for his 'Past Present Future Tour' starting this August. As their careers continue to evolve, Usher and Bieber's paths may cross again in the world of music and entertainment.
