Cybersecdn– Fans were wondering why Justin Bieber didn’t perform at Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show, and Lil Jon confirmed it. He thought the “Baby” singer would join his longtime mentor and partner on stage.
Lil Jon told TMZ on Wednesday, “We wanted to put Justin in the show, so we had the idea of doing a version of the show with Justin in it.” Lil Jon played with Usher on Super Bowl Sunday.
But I think Justin wasn’t ready for a lot of practice, a lot of duty, a lot of time, and a lot of people watching. I’m not sure if he was ready for all of that, you know?”
The “Shots” singer went on, “I mean, he was there for definitely supporting Ush. They’re really good friends, and he was for surely supporting him.”
Alicia Keys, Jermaine Dupri, H.E.R., Will.i.am, and Ludacris all went on stage during the “Confessions” star’s set to surprise fans. Justin and Hailey Bieber sang along from the stands.
This month, at the NHL All-Star Weekend, the “Sorry” singer appeared live in public for the first time in two years. He had to cancel his “Justice World Tour” because of health issues.
After being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in September 2022, The Biebs put off his shows twice before cancelling them for good in March 2023. This was because he had temporary face paralysis. At the time, he told his friends that the shows he had done had “really worn him down” and that he needed more time to “rest and get better.”
Based on what Lil Jon said on Wednesday, Bieber may not have been able to handle the months of planning right now.

His explanation was, “Being in a show like this takes a lot of time.” “It’s not okay to just go to one practice and then go on stage.” I don’t think he was ready for all that because it took a lot of time.
The Post has asked Usher and Bieber’s representatives for their thoughts.
Some people told Page Six that Bieber didn’t perform at the Super Bowl because he “wasn’t feeling it.” Lil Jon now says that Bieber did perform.
