Usher Appreciates Rihanna For Glowing Praise Ahead Of Super Bowl Halftime Show
In a heartwarming moment of mutual respect and admiration, Usher, the renowned singer and performer, expressed gratitude for a heartfelt shout-out he received from none other than the iconic Rihanna. A video clip, posted by Usher on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), captured a genuine display of support from the Umbrella hitmaker just days before Usher’s highly-anticipated Super Bowl halftime performance in 2024.
“Real recognize real. Thank U Queen @rihanna,” Usher wrote on X as he shared the touching clip. Rihanna, who headlined the Super Bowl event in February while revealing her second pregnancy with her partner A$AP Rocky, had nothing but praise for Usher.
In the video, when asked if she had any tips to offer, Rihanna responded with humility, saying, “I can’t give Usher no advice. Usher is a natural; he’s a legend and he’s been doing this since he’s a teenager.” Her genuine admiration for Usher’s talent and dedication was evident as she continued, “He’s made for that show. I get excited about entertainers who do this, who are built for it, and he just proved that in Vegas that he’s not going anywhere.”
Usher’s journey to headlining the Super Bowl halftime show began in September when he received the thrilling news from Kim Kardashian via a phone call. Overjoyed by the opportunity, Usher expressed his gratitude, 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.”
He went on to thank his fans and everyone who played a part in making this incredible opportunity a reality, promising an unforgettable performance.
This upcoming Super Bowl halftime show in 2024 will mark Usher’s second appearance on this grand stage. His first performance was in 2011 when he shared the spotlight with the Black Eyed Peas during the event.
Usher recently concluded his My Way Las Vegas residency, a remarkable journey that began in July 2022. The emotional final performance saw Usher dropping to his knees, surrounded by his dance crew, as he bid farewell to a residency that had left an indelible mark on the entertainment world.
As anticipation builds for Super Bowl LVIII, set to air live on CBS on February 11, 2024, fans and viewers alike can look forward to witnessing Usher’s legendary talent and charisma take center stage once more, leaving an unforgettable mark on Super Bowl history.
