Usher Opens Up About Special Call From Jay-Z After Landing 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Usher says he was too thrilled to hear from his “big homie” Jay-Z after scoring the honor of headlining the upcoming Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show in February. Speaking with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe on Sunday, the “Superstar” singer, 44, opened up about the invigorating call he received from the Roc Nation mogul about the epic achievement. “So for the Super Bowl to have made its way to Las Vegas while we were in Vegas, having such an amazing two years…” he added before Lowe interjected. Usher told Lowe that he’s “really happy that Jay-Z and also Roc Nation really put thought into making certain that they could bring to the world this kind of experience.” The “OMG” singer then promised that the show “is definitely going to be a moment to remember.” While Rihanna teased earlier this year that she was bringing a “surprise guest” to her Super Bowl halftime performance, Usher noted that he’s also down to having a special guest join him at the big game in February.
