JAY-Z, the music mogul and founder of Roc Nation, also weighed in on the announcement, highlighting Usher’s exceptional journey and his ability to bare his soul through his music. He expressed eagerness to witness the magic Usher will bring to one of the grandest stages in the world.
The upcoming halftime show is not just a platform for Usher to showcase his musical prowess but also a celebration of his illustrious career. The artist, who catapulted to superstardom with his album ‘Confessions’, has given fans numerous chart-topping hits like ‘Yeah!’ with Ludacris and Lil Jon, ‘Burn’, and ‘Confessions Part II’.

In addition to his musical achievements, Usher has showcased his versatility by serving as a coach on NBC’s ‘The Voice’ and taking on roles in films like ‘Hustlers’ and ‘Light It Up’. As the countdown to the 2024 Super Bowl begins, fans worldwide are gearing up for a halftime show that promises to be nothing short of spectacular.
