Usher says, &#8220;More of all of it, lifestyle, family, you know what I mean? Real things to remember. Y\u2019all seen Naviyd doing his thing online? TikTok, keep checking him out musically and you know and staying creative.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Usher&#8217;s son Naviyd has built quite the following on social media, with nearly 300k followers on TikTok where he posts videos of his dancing and music skills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Finally, Usher is asked who he&#8217;d like to see perform during halftime of Super Bowl LX\u2014and he throws out Metallica. It might seem like a long shot, but at least Usher has hope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Super Bowl LX will happen February 8, 2026 from Levi&#8217;s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Metallica was formed about 350 miles south in Los Angeles &#8230; so if Usher gets his wish it&#8217;ll technically be a home state show for the rock group.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\">Related News<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/music\/a\/markelibert\/usher-superbowl-headliner\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><\/div>\n<p><\/a><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span>Usher Has Super Bowl Halftime Headliner Aspirations<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">,<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/music\/a\/jaelaniturnerwilliams\/usher-kendrick-lamar-super-bowl-advice\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Usher appears with Jennifer Hudson on \" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/cKR3zRuaxUg3D5.2ad8lHg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/complex_131\/82c738daeea211cae0bcec0f782a8a07\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span>Usher Tells Kendrick Lamar to &#8216;Savor&#8217; Super Bowl Halftime Show<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">,<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/style\/a\/tracewilliamcowen\/usher-skims-campaign\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"usher in a skims campaign\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/rpt_2RsaodaVSCmwV5xLGA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/complex_131\/489b370eca17fee16f69907b9c89c21c\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span>Usher Stars in New SKIMS Campaign Ahead of Super Bowl Halftime Show Performance<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><b>Related News<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><b><i><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/music\/articles\/john-lennons-killer-mark-david-181229574.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:John Lennon's Killer Mark David Chapman Learns Fate in 14th Parole Hearing;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">John Lennon&#8217;s Killer Mark David Chapman Learns Fate in 14th Parole Hearing<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><b><i><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/articles\/teyana-taylor-says-shes-learned-214635511.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Teyana Taylor Says She's Learned to 'Properly Love': 'I'm Gonna Take My Time';elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Teyana Taylor Says She&#8217;s Learned to &#8216;Properly Love&#8217;: &#8216;I&#8217;m Gonna Take My Time&#8217;<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/shop?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=syndication&amp;utm_campaign=shop2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.
