Usher thanks ‘queen’ Rihanna for showing her support for his upcoming Super Bowl halftime performance: ‘Real recognize real’
Usher thanked Rihanna for her support of his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show in a post that was shared on his X account on Thursday.
The 45-year-old singer reposted a clip of the 35-year-old hitmaker speaking about his planned performance, which is set to take place in February of next year, during the Fenty x Puma Creeper Phatty launch party, which occurred earlier this week.
The performer – whose appointment as the show’s headliner received a mixed reception from fans – also wrote a short message of his own to the Umbrella singer, whom he described as a ‘queen,’ and expressed that ‘real recognize real.’
During the launch party, Rihanna, who performed during the most recently-held Super Bowl earlier this year, was asked about what advice she would give to the Burn singer.
The performer exclaimed: ‘I can’t give Usher no advice! Usher is a natural, he’s a legend and he’s been doing this since he’s a teenager.’
