Usher gave the world a star-studded Super Bowl Halftime Show alongside legends like Lil Jon, Ludacris, and Alicia Keys.
However, rumors spread that Justin Bieber could have been part of the show but he refused.
According to Just Jared, Lil Jon has confirmed that the rumors were indeed true.
Justin Bieber Turned Down Usher, According To Lil Jon
Lil Jon revealed that Bieber “wasn’t really ready” to do a performance on that level.
“We wanted to put Justin in the show, so we had the idea of doing a version of the show with Justin in it. But I think Justin just wasn’t really ready to have a lot of rehearsal, a lot of responsibility, a lot of time and a lot of eyeballs. I don’t know if he was ready to do all of that, you know?”
Beiber’s fans hoped he would appear onstage during the performance when she arrived in Vegas.
However, the singer attended the game with wife Hailey, friend Kylie Jenner and some other friends.
“I mean, he definitely was there supporting Ush and they’re really good friends and he definitely was supporting him.”
Bieber’s refusal is understandable as he only did his first concert in a year early this month.
