Usher has offered Kendrick Lamar valuable advice ahead of his highly anticipated Super Bowl LIX halftime performance.

During an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show earlier this week, Usher reflected on his own experience at the 2024 Super Bowl and shared words of wisdom for Lamar.

When asked by Hudson where his Super Bowl performance ranked in his career, Usher described it as "the top of the top," emphasizing that it was one of the biggest audiences he had ever performed for. He highlighted how significant the Super Bowl stage is for any artist, noting that it represents the ultimate achievement in entertainment.

Although Usher hasn’t spoken directly with Kendrick Lamar, he revealed that he has been in touch with the rapper’s team. His one key piece of advice for Lamar is to “savor the moment.” He explained that artists often focus so much on perfecting their performance that they forget to enjoy the experience. He urged Lamar to embrace the moment rather than striving for perfection, emphasizing that nothing will ever be flawless, but the experience itself is what truly matters.

Kendrick Lamar is set to take center stage at Super Bowl LIX, performing alongside SZA. With the Kansas City Chiefs facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles, the halftime show is expected to be a major highlight of the event.
