Usher Reportedly Asked Justin Bieber To Be Surprise Guest At Super Bowl LVIII

Usher is getting ready to take the stage at Super Bowl LVIII to perform, what he calls, “30 years in the making."

With so many hit songs from the artist, fans cannot wait to see which hits he chooses to sing in the 13-minute show, which takes place on February 11, 2023.

Many of those songs also include collaborations with artists such as will.i.am, Lil Jon, and Justin Bieber -- who, according to sources, may appear on stage alongside the 'Yeah' singer.

Usher Asks Justin Bieber To Share The Stage At Super Bowl LVIII

Sources have said that Usher is speaking to Justin Bieber directly about sharing the stage during the upcoming show.

As you know, Usher and Bieber have a relationship dating back to 2010 when Bieber asked Usher to collab on his song 'Somebody to Love'. In addition to their working relationship, Bieber also looks up to Usher, even calling him a "big brother" at one point in time.

While those same sources did not confirm whether Bieber will, in fact, show up, fans can still expect an incredible show from the 'My Boo' artist.

This latest news comes after Usher confirmed he would have surprise guests in the show. “I think I made it easy for myself when I decided to have features on songs that became hit records, so that gave me the greatest point of reference,” he teased.

When asked if any guests “immediately” came to mind, he immediately said, “of course.”

Usher To Have Surprise Guests At Super Bowl Halftime Show

Usher has collaborated with many artists over the years including will.i.am, Alicia Keys, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Jon.

“I have definitely went through a lot of ideas of who I would have shared this moment with me and I do feel like the people who are gonna share it deserve just as much recognition for what they do in their careers – whether we have collaborated together or rather they’ve had moments of their own,” Usher added.

He also addressed the current predictions that are circulating social media, saying, “There have been these fantasy lists that have been going out, people trying to figure out what song I’m going to perform first, middle, last. I was very mindful of my past, celebrating my present, which is here in Las Vegas, and thinking about where we’re headed in the future. And that was really the idea.”

The 'Yeah' singer previously spoke out on the opportunity, saying, “It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before."

But there is one challenge he has to overcome -- how to pack so many songs into 13 minutes of showtime.

“I’ve gotta do it in 13 minutes, that makes it a bit difficult. It definitely has been a challenge to squeeze 30 years into 13 minutes,” he said, laughing. “[I thought about] what songs do I feel people know me for? What songs have been a celebration of all of the journey of what life and love and emotion has been offered in my music.”

Usher will take the stage during Super Bowl LVIII, which takes place on Sunday, February 11 in Las Vegas.
