Will Ludacris And Lil Jon Perform With Usher At The Super Bowl Halftime Show?

Usher is just a few days away from performing the Super Bowl Halftime Show at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. Given he has had several hits throughout the years, and a ton of collaborators, it has raised the question if he’ll be bringing any surprise guests — or just tackling the show solo.

Will Ludacris And Lil Jon Perform With Usher At The Super Bowl Halftime Show?

Earlier this morning, a teaser for Usher’s performance dropped, and it takes an interesting premise. Ludacris, Lil Jon, and Taraji P. Henson are working on finding Usher, as apparently, he is missing. Considering he is set to have his new album, Coming Home, drop on Friday, maybe that is when they’ll be able to find him.

Yet, it also possibly teases Usher performing “Yeah” at the Super Bowl, with hopefully his original collaborators (Ludacris and Lil Jon) joining him on stage. Considering they appeared in the Apple Music video, and Apple sponsors the Halftime Show, the three playing the hit together feels like a safe bet.

As for some other potential collaborators that could join Usher, anyone from his new album could be fair game, including maybe even Jung Kook from BTS.

Other key options include “My Boo” with Alicia Keys, “Best Thing” with Jay-Z, and “Somebody To Love” with Justin Bieber — although the last one is a reach, as it’s Bieber’s track. Never say never.

Nobody Knows Where Usher Is Right Now (In The Fictional Universe Of A New Super Bowl Halftime Show Teaser, At Least)

by

Usher has a full schedule over the next few days: He’s dropping a new album, Coming Home, on Friday, and a couple days later, he’s performing the Super Bowl Halftime Show. So, it would be an awful time for the entertainer to go missing, but that is just what has happened… not in real life, but in a new teaser video from Apple Music.

The video starts with Ludacris, Lil Jon, and Taraji P. Henson hanging around outdoors (outside of a fancy Las Vegas hotel, perhaps?). The trio then FaceTimes Apple CEO Tim Cook (who’s wearing an Usher graphic tee), and he asks how a dinner they had last night went. They then break the news that they lost Usher and don’t know where he is, which prompts a disappointed Cook to hang up. He then texts the group, “You will find him!”

This presumably sets up a series that will continued to be shared in the days leading up to the big performance. Perhaps most notably, though, this ad might serve as a teaser of Ludacris and Lil Jon joining Usher to perform their hit collaboration “Yeah!” during the halftime show. We’ll know for sure this weekend.

Check out the video above.

USHER & Pheelz Deliver Light & Rhythmic Soul Cut “Ruin”

by

USHER is making his long overdue return to music very, very soon. The iconic performer and seductive R&B singer will finally be releasing his first album since 2018. That was a mini eight-song LP with fellow Georgian producer Zaytoven called “A” that had features from Future and Gunna. If you are wondering when USHER put out his last solo effort, you would have to return to 2016 with Hard II Love.

While dropping your first album in nearly six years is very exciting, performing at the Super Bowl is another reason to be giddy. It is safe to say USHER is feeling that way based on all of his recent interviews. The ageless 45-year-old superstar’s next album will be called COMING HOME and will have 20 tracks. The tracklist, as well as the release date, which is February 9, is available to be seen on Apple Music.

Listen To “Ruin” By USHER & Pheelz

So far, USHER has put out three songs from the LP. Those include “Good Good” with Summer Walker and 21 Savage, the Jung Kook collaboration “Standing Next to You,” and “Risk It All” featuring H.E.R. That is being pulled from The Color Purple movie soundtrack. This latest single is called “Ruin” and brings along Nigerian Afropop/Afrobeats artist and producer Pheelz. He takes the reigns on the beat and adds a verse. Both sing beautifully about a lover that is slowly draining them of their energy. The instrumental mixes elements of soul, R&B, and Pheelz native sounds of African music. It all comes together very well, so be sure to check it out.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Ruin,” by USHER and Pheelz? Is this the best single from his forthcoming record COMING HOME, why or why not? Will this be a top-tier project in his discography? Are you excited about the LP? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding USHER and Pheelz.

Quotable Lyrics:

Bye-bye, good riddance for the last time (For the last time)
So you can try, try (Try, try, try), maybe get it right next time (Maybe get it right)
Different timeline, maybe then you can be mine (Then you can be mine)
You ruined me for everybody
You ruined me for everybody, ooh
Bye-bye, good riddance for the last time (Ooh, for the last time)

Usher Releases Afrobeats & Amapiano-Inspired Single “Ruin”

Multi-Platinum GRAMMY Award-winning artist Usher has dropped his latest single, “Ruin,” infusing Afrobeats and Amapiano into R&B, produced by and featuring Pheelz. The track is a precursor to Usher’s ninth studio album, COMING HOME, set to release on Feb. 9.

Following the success of “Good Good” with 21 Savage and Summer Walker, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s R&B Digital Song Sales Chart, “Ruin” continues Usher’s exploration of diverse musical influences. “Good Good” also secured Usher’s eighth No. 1 on the Adult R&B Airplay chart and dominated multiple major R&B/hip-hop airplay charts.

Directed by Dave Meyers, the creative mind behind Usher’s iconic videos like “U Remind Me” and “Risk It All,” the “Ruin” video captures the essence of love through various scenes, shot entirely on iPhone 15 Pro.

Usher’s upcoming album, COMING HOME, will be released via mega, a music collective founded by Usher and L.A. Reid in collaboration with gamma, a multimedia platform providing creative and business services. The joint venture ensures gamma’s exclusive distribution and marketing of all music released by mega.
