Usher is sharing more details about his upcoming halftime show performance at Super Bowl LVIII.
During an interview with Good Morning America on Friday (Feb. 2), the 45-year-old R&B star said that he plans to use the opportunity on football’s biggest night to pay homage to Black artists who came before him and helped pave the way for his successful career in music.
“I think about what our country has kind of represented for Black artists, you know, having to at some point go through kitchens to even be able to perform for an audience, but they had to leave back through that same door, fear for their lives as they went to the next state to do the same thing,” Usher told reporter Kelley Carter.
The “My Boo” singer added, “So I’m coming through the front door with this one.”
The hitmaker also noted that he remembered his friends and mentors who have supported him over the decades when planning his upcoming halftime show performance.
“I didn’t start where I am now, and I didn’t get there by myself,” he said. “So, everybody that has been a part of it, I’m carrying them with me. All of my fans, my loved ones, the people who may have felt like they have been forgotten, they haven’t. I’m carrying you right with me when I walk on that stage that night.”
Usher will perform during the Super Bowl Halftime Show presented by Apple Music on Feb. 11, when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Ahead of the big game, the R&B star will release his new album, Coming Home, on Feb. 9. The project serves as his ninth studio album, and it’s his first released independently. It’s a star-studded affair across the 20 tracks, as he’s recruited Latto, Burna Boy, 21 Savage, The-Dream, H.E.R., Summer Walker and BTS’ Jung Kook to join him on the journey.
“I put a lot of heart and time into making sure that this was curated right. Something that felt like this next chapter of my life. It’s the next frontier, the next chapter of my legacy,” the “Love in This Club” singer said of the album in a recent interview with Club Shay Shay.
Ahead of Coming Home, Usher dropped another single on Friday (Feb. 2) with the Afrobeats-tinged “Ruin.”

FanDuel is teaming up with Spotify this year for its annual Super Bowl party, with Calvin Harris and Kid Cudi announced as the headliners, Billboard can exclusively announce.
The 2024 FanDuel Super Bowl Party Powered by Spotify — which will be held at LIV inside the Strip’s newest resort, Fontainebleau Las Vegas, on Friday night, Feb. 9 — is the company’s third annual Super Bowl event and will feature a live recording of The Ringer Gambling Show podcast with hosts John “JJ” Jastremski, Raheem Palmer and “Cousin Sal” Iacono.
Last month, Calvin Harris broke the record for the most No. 1s in the 20-year history of Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, as his Eliza Rose collaboration “Body Moving” rose to the top of the ranking dated Jan. 13. He earned his 14th Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart-topper, breaking out of a tie with David Guetta. On Jan. 12, Kid Cudi released his ninth studio album, Insano, which features collabs with Travis Scott, ASAP Rocky, Lil Yachty, Pharrell Williams, the late XXXTentacion, Lil Wayne and Young Thug. The project debuted at No. 4 on the Top Rap Albums chart dated Jan. 27.
Since 2021, FanDuel has been the exclusive sports betting partner of Spotify sports and pop culture podcast network The Ringer. This Super Bowl party further cements the two companies’ partnership, which expanded in 2023 to encompass content produced for FanDuel TV, including the shows Beyond the Arc with Kevin O’Connor and Through The Ringer with Tate Frazier.
The event comes just two days before Super Bowl LVIII at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium on Sunday (Feb. 11), where the Kansas City Chiefs will take on the San Francisco 49ers for the championship. It was announced in September that Usher would headline the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show. Usher also announced that his ninth album, Coming Home, will arrive on Super Bowl Sunday. This set marks his first new album since 2016’s Hard II Love, which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200.

Make it so! It’s Sir Patrick Stewart to the rescue with a little bit of help from Creed in Paramount+‘s 2024 Super Bowl ad, which arrived on Thursday (Feb. 1).
In the streamer’s third Super Bowl ad, Stewart, who is known for portraying Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Picard — along with a host of other stars whose shows can be seen on Paramount+, including Drew Barrymore (The Drew Barrymore Show), Jeff Probst (Survivor), Arnold (Hey Arnold!) and Peppa Pig — find themselves stuck in a snow-covered canyon on Paramount Mountain. That’s when the boss of the USS Enterprise steps up to try to save the day.
When Barrymore shoots down Stewart’s idea to throw Arnold and his football-shaped head to the top of the cliff, the actor snipes in his impeccable English accent, “Barrymore! Shut your face … unless you prefer to freeze to death!”
“I’m not gonna throw a kid,” Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa insists.
That’s when Stewart takes matters into his own hands. He rips off his warm winter coat to reveal the old-school football uniform and declares he’ll throw Arnold himself. The music kicks in, and the camera pans over to none other than Creed, who are ready to rock out on a small ledge.
The Star Trek star then picks up Arnold as if the animated character were a football, and starts to mix up his sports. “We need a hole in one before the seventh stretch,” he says. As Creed frontman Scott Stapp begins to belt out the chorus to the band’s Billboard Hot 100 hit (it peaked at No. 7 in 2000), Stewart makes the throw — and begins singing along with Stapp.
“I just threw him hiiiigher,” the celebrated actor croons, “to a place where we won’t freeze.” (And that’s when a well-placed “Creed” tattoo makes its appearance!)
Arnold also joins in on the song, singing, “He just threw me hiii–” and slams face first into the side of the cliff. Watch the full Paramount+ Super Bowl ad above.
The Kansas City Chiefs are set to face off against the San Francisco 49ers on Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 11) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The current king of the Billboard Hot 100 is making his way to Las Vegas. Jack Harlow will headline the h.wood Homecoming party on Saturday night (Feb. 10) of Super Bowl Weekend in Sin City, Billboard can exclusively announce. The party will also include DJ sets from Kaytranada and Zack Bia.
The previously announced h.wood Homecoming party for Friday night will include performances from David Guetta and Future.
The Friday and Saturday night parties will take place in a custom-built pop-up venue on the Las Vegas Strip, adjacent to the Fashion Show Mall.
It’s perfect timing for Harlow to mount a celebratory concert, as his “Lovin On Me” lands a fourth nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 this week, scoring his longest reign on the chart so far among his three leaders. “First Class” ruled for three weeks in April-May 2022, and he also reigned with Lil Nas X’s “Industry Baby” for one week in October 2021.
Harlow’s performance will be joined by a DJ set from Grammy-winning producer/artist Kaytranada as well as music exec/producer Zack Bia.
The pair of parties precede the 2024 Super Bowl, which goes down Sunday (Feb. 11) between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and will feature a halftime show from Usher.
This marks the third year that Los Angeles-based hospitality and lifestyle marketing company The h.wood Group has teamed with Uncommon Entertainment for h.wood Homecoming parties around Super Bowl, starting in 2022 in L.A. followed by 2023 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Both of those events included performances by Drake.
Friday night’s party is presented by Taco Bell, and sponsors include REVOLVE, MTN DEW BAJA BLAST, GHOST ENERGY, Crown Royal and NYX Professional Makeup. Saturday night’s sponsors include Taco Bell, REVOLVE, MTN DEW BAJA BLAST, GHOST ENERGY, Crown Royal and NYX Professional Makeup. Both nights are hosted in partnership with REVOLVE. The pop-up venue will include a Taco Bell Lounge that will offer late-night bites “and all of the vibes,” according to a press release announcing the event.
h.wood Homecoming is produced by The h.wood Group, Uncommon Entertainment and AG Production Services.
