Lil Jon Reveals Why Justin Bieber Didn't Perform With Usher At Super Bowl

Justin Bieber had actually considered joining Usher during his historic Super Bowl performance, but ultimately passed on the opportunity due to several reasons.

On Wednesday, February 14, Lil Jon sat down with "TMZ Live" and spoke about his experience working on Usher's iconic halftime show at Super Bowl LVIII. Jon served as the musical director for the performance so he was privvy to the discussions about Bieber's involvement with the show. Unfortunately, the Biebs decided not to commit to all of the responsibilities and rehearsals that comes with the performance.

"I think Justin just wasn't really ready," Jon explained.

"That's a lot of rehearsal, a lot of responsibility, a lot of time and a lot of eye balls and I don't know if he was ready to do al of that. But he was definitely there supporting Usher and they're really good friends. He was definitely supporting him regardless."

Jon said there were at least 179 changes that were made the show before Usher hit the stage. JB wasn't part of the original plan, but they did have a version of the show that featured the "Somebody To Love" singer just in case he did want to join in. Bieber ended up attending the game and shouted out Usher, but sat with his wife Hailey during the show instead.

"LOVE YOU MY BROTHER," he wrote in an Instagram post. "NOONE CAN SING AND DANCE THE WAY YOU DO. LOVE YOU FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY HEART. BROUGHT THE “A” TO THE WORLD, ONLY YOU BABYYYYYY 😘"
