For me personally, I thought that Usher's Halftime performance at this years Super Bowl was very good. I loved the fact that he sang live and he gave us all of the cameo's that we wanted. From Alicia Keys to Lil Jon and Ludacris. Not too mention Jermaine Dupri H.E.R. and will.i.am. on stage with him. The one person that seemed to be missing was Justin Bieber. I'm sure we all know the story with Usher and Justin, right? Usher was the one that discovered JB and brought him into the spotlight. So why didn't Justin join his "mentor" on stage for the performance this past Sunday?

According to what Lil Jon is saying, originally Beiber was part of the show but he just "wasn't ready". If you remember, last year Justin took a step back from performing live due to him being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. According to what Lil Jon told TMZ - 

“He was thinking about it but I think all of the work that goes into it, and then all of the eyeballs and everything else, I don’t know if he was ready to have that undertaking. You know, because Justin was just kind of chilling. He was there with his wife having a good time. It’s a lot of time you have to dedicate to being in a show like this. It’s not just, ‘Okay, let’s go do one rehearsal’ and you get onstage.”

Contrary to what some people were thinking, there is no bad blood between Usher and Justin. Justin put those rumors to rest quick with this Instagram post -
