Usher might be on the Super Bowl stage in a few days but that didn’t stop him from making a little cash with SKIMS.
According to PEOPLE Usher is already having the best week ever, as it’s been revealed he’s fronting the latest mens campaign for Kim Kardashian’s loungewear, shapewear and underwear brand.
The imagery, which was revealed today, shows the entertainment icon, 45, modeling pieces from two of the existing and often sold out menswear collections, including the SKIMS Stretch 5” Boxer in Midnight the and SKIMS Cotton. 5” Boxer in Military.
To celebrate the both SKIMS and Usher’s forthcoming drops, the artist and Kardashian have partnered on a very special project set for Feb. 9 at midnight ET.
At that time, an exclusive, digital download version of his new album Coming Home, featuring an alternative cover and a bonus track aptly called “Naked,” will be available on Skims.com only for one week only.
In a release, Usher called the experience “humbling” and a “full-circle moment.”
“Kim’s been a longtime friend of mine who’s always been so supportive of my work, so the opportunity to collaborate together on a campaign that supports both of our highly anticipated launches made total sense,” he said.
On being a SKIMS fanatic, he added,
“With the way that I move, being this comfortable in what you wear is essential. SKIMS is about embracing who you are, inside and out, and feeling empowered to express yourself authentically.”
Last week, Usher released his collab-filled tracklist for the album, which features guest appearances from Burna Boy, H.E.R., Latto and Jungkook, among other stars.
He also revealed his own Super Bowl merch collab with the NFL, which will be available Feb. 7.
The singer has remained tight-lipped on his performance itself, choosing not to disclose songs or guests as of yet. However, Usher has shared that the performance will be a celebration of R&B music and Black artists of the past.
“I didn’t start where I am now, and I didn’t get there by myself,” he said during an interview that aired on Good Morning America.
“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.”
