Usher's kids won't join him on stage for Super Bowl

Olivia Culpo bought a private suite for Christian McCaffrey's family for Super Bowl LVIII

Usher's upcoming Super Bowl performance has fans eagerly anticipating his performance, but some are curious if his children will be joining him on stage. During a recent appearance on The Talk, the musician revealed that while his kids won't be performing with him at the event, they have been actively involved in the preparation process.

Usher, who is a father to four children - Usher V, Naviyd, Sire, and Sovereign - shared that his kids will be present during the Super Bowl but won't be joining him on stage. He mentioned that his son Naviyd has been providing him with valuable feedback and suggesting songs for his performance. It seems like the 15-year-old has a keen ear for music and is offering his expertise to his famous father.

In a lighthearted moment, Usher also mentioned that his daughter Sovereign has been too busy shooting videos to join him on stage. It appears that the three-year-old is quickly becoming a star in her own right. Her involvement in her father's recent music video showcases her growing stage presence.

While Usher's fans might assume that his children would jump at the chance to appear alongside their famous father, he shared in a previous interview that his kids sometimes prefer to keep a low profile. He stated that they occasionally don't want him to attend their events, such as basketball games or recitals, because they want to focus solely on their performances without any distractions.

Usher's understanding approach to his children's wishes is admirable. He explained that he tries his best to empathize with them and respects their desire for a low-key experience. He mentioned countless times where he has quietly supported them from the back of the room, ensuring that he doesn't draw attention away from their achievements.

The Grammy-winning artist also touched upon the added pressure his oldest son feels due to sharing his famous father's name. He acknowledged that the name Usher carries expectations, and he is mindful of how it might affect his son's experiences.

Usher believes in maintaining open communication with his children and balancing the support he provides with giving them space. He recognizes the importance of both pushing them to excel and showering them with love and understanding.

As the Super Bowl draws near, fans can appreciate Usher's dedication to his craft and his commitment to being a supportive and understanding father. While his kids won't be gracing the stage alongside him this time, their presence and involvement behind the scenes undoubtedly contribute to his stellar performance. And who knows, maybe someday we'll see the Usher children following in their father's footsteps and captivating audiences with their own incredible talents.
