Super Bowl 2024: Why Justin Bieber didn't perform with Usher at halftime

Why Justin Bieber skipped Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show: fans wonder Usher delivered a stunning performance at the Super Bowl halftime show, with Alicia Keys and H.E.R. joining him on stage. But many fans were left disappointed by the no-show of Justin Bieber, who was rumoured to be part of the show.

Bieber, who collaborated with Usher on the popular song Somebody to Love, was seen in the audience with his wife, Hailey Bieber, instead of performing with his mentor. This raised eyebrows, as earlier reports indicated that Bieber and Usher were in discussions about a possible joint appearance.

Earlier TMZ even reported that Usher “has been hitting up Justin Bieber lately to talk about the prospect of JB joining him during the Super Bowl Halftime Show … which now sounds like a very real possibility. Still no word on whether Justin agreed—but we know they’ve been chatting …A LOT.”
