Justin Bieber turned down Usher<\/a>‘s offer to perform at the Super Bowl VIII Halftime show. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Justin Bieber turned down Usher’s offer to perform at the Super Bowl despite the rapper launching his career 15 years ago<\/p>\n

The ‘R’n’B superstar pulled out all the stops for his performance halfway through the major sporting spectacle at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium on Sunday (11.02.24) and was reportedly keen to get Justin, 29, on board but the ‘Sorry’ hitmaker “wasn’t up for it”, although an insider has insisted there is “no bad blood” between the pair. <\/p>\n

A source told PageSix: “There\u2019s no bad blood between Usher<\/a> and Justin. Justin just wasn\u2019t up for it \u2014 he just wasn\u2019t feeling it.”<\/p>\n

Usher<\/a> played a major role in the launch of Justin’s career in the late 2000s after record executive Scooter Braun had spotted the teenager singing on YouTube and convinced the ‘Yeah!’ hitmaker to meet with the budding star.<\/p>\n

The rapper met Justin in 2009 and after being impressed by his voice, signed him to his label RBMG where he quickly released the megahit hit singles ‘One Time’, ‘One Less Lonely Girl’, ‘Baby’ and the multi-million selling album ‘My World 2.0’.<\/p>\n

\nJustin is the only artist to ever have been signed to the label as of 2024 and RBMG also has a special profit-sharing business deal with Def Jam, which is owned by Def Jam Recordings, which is owned by Universal Music Group.<\/p>\n

\nOn Sunday, the 45-year-old singer kicked things off with mega-hit ‘Caught Up’ into ‘U Don’t Have to Call’. <\/p>\n

\nA snippet of ‘Superstar’ then aired before he went straight in with another fan-favourite in ‘Love in this Club’.<\/p>\n

\nThen it was time for the first guest of the set, Alicia, who joined Usher for an electrifying rendition of their 2004 hit ‘My Boo’ after performing her own track ‘If I Ain’t Got You’ first. <\/p>\n

\nTo mark the 20th anniversary of Usher\u2019s seminal album ‘Confessions’, rapper Jermaine introduced ‘Confessions Part II’. <\/p>\n

\nUsher also performed ‘Burn’ from the album and was then joined by H.E.R. for ‘Bad Girl’.<\/p>\n

\nBlack Eyed Peas star Will.i.am was the next guest for their 2010 hit ‘OMG’.<\/p>\n

\nAs promised, Usher brought a piece of his ‘My Way’ residency to the Super Bowl, as he hopped on rollerblades to perform ‘Yeah!’ alongside Lil Jon and Ludacris.<\/p>\n

\nUsher was also joined by Jon for his and DJ Snake’s hit ‘Turn Down for What’ right before ‘Yeah!’.<\/p>\n

\nUsher had already teased Jon and Ludacris would be joining him onstage.<\/p>\n

\nHe said at a press conference: \u201cI would be a fool to not play \u2018Yeah!\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\u201cLet\u2019s just start there. It would be foolish to make it all the way to Las Vegas\u2014Jon is here, Luda\u2019s here\u2014and not play \u2018Yeah!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe Kansas City Chiefs fought to beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 during overtime in an intense showdown.<\/p>\n

\nCountry icon Reba McEntire performed the National Anthem, ‘Star-Spangled Banner’, rapper Post Malone did a rendition of \u2018America The Beautiful’ and soul singer Andra Day wowed with \u2018Lift Every Voice And Sing’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
