<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remember the simpler times when all we had to do was vibe to Usher and Pitbull on the boomboxes and sub-woofers? Well, a glimpse of it is in the works as Usher prepares to be back. The award-winning rapper and songwriter has left a deep and lasting impact on hip-hop and R&amp;B music. Moreover, he has also helped </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“nurture”</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> icons such as the ubiquitous <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west">Kanye West</a> himself.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, he is eying a potential comeback to the spotlight with the latest event to headline.</span></p>
<h2><b>Usher to headline the upcoming Super Bowl LVIII halftime show</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the Holiday season approaches, so comes the merriment. The months from Thanksgiving all the way up to Spring always see big-ticket releases. Following the movies comes the adrenaline kicking in with the Super Bowl. The games which will <strong>take place on February 11, 2024,</strong> at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, already have a headliner. Apple just announced that <strong>Usher would headline the Super Bowl</strong> LVIII halftime show, which was also confirmed by the rapper in an Instagram post.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The big-eyed event, which<strong> draws crowds from all across the country, has seen Hollywood and music A-listers such as Rihanna, Eminem, The Weeknd, and Michael Jackson</strong> helm it. Now, the 90s rapper is all set to steal the show. Airing on CBS, it is bound to be a crowd-puller where Usher may even showcase his <strong>classic hits from ‘Yeah’ and ‘MyWay’</strong>. Accordingly, there have been no further announcements on further cast.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Interestingly, as of now, Usher also can be connected to a trending celebrity. The self-made multi-platinum record holder had once made his views clear on Kanye West. Rather, he knew what was coming of the ‘Flashing Lights’ singer even before anyone saw it coming.</span></p>
<h2><b>Kanye West was always destined to go big and Usher saw it coming</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Long before Ye had even released his first album, Usher was already a music icon. The singer had helped <strong>shape a generation of the next R&amp;B and pop icons</strong> including Kanye West. Once while speaking to BBC Radio 1Xtra, the ‘Confessions’ singer had a mouthful of praise for Ye. Starting off by saying that he was always into supporting and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“nurturing icons”</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Usher mentioned that he could see West <strong>going on to become that </strong></span><strong><i>“icon”.</i></strong></p>
<div class="flex-video widescreen youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Usher talks about Kanye West and his dislike for Autotune" width="1170" height="658" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8eI7ovaOSD0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Referring to his 2004 Truth Tour for his album ‘Confessions’, the songwriter highlighted why <strong>he had brought Kanye West along</strong> with him. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Nothing is more greater than…to know that you saw it first.” </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reciprocating his trust, after performing <strong>a rap of his verse from the ‘Confessions Remix’</strong> on the tour, Ye went on on to win his own Grammy in 2005.</span></p>
