Why Justin Bieber Didn't Perform at the Super Bowl

While speaking with The Breakfast Club Friday, Usher confirmed that he did in fact have a "brief" conversation with Justin Bieber about performing alongside him and his bevvy of superstar friends in the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show.

"Things did [not] work out with Justin. I honor and recognize that my brother... I think it might have been the fact that he was wanting to tell a different story right now, and I understand that," the "Yeah!" singer explained. "But we did have a brief conversation and we're gonna do something else in the future. No love lost or anything like that."

While talks were had, Bieber, ultimately, did not join Usher on stage, instead watching his longtime friend and mentor perform from the audience.
