The Super Bowl is just around the corner, and this year’s halftime show performer, Kendrick Lamar, is all set to take the stage.
But before he does, he’s getting some words of wisdom from none other than Usher, who headlined the show last year.
In a recent episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, Usher shared his thoughts on how Kendrick can make the most of this incredible opportunity.
Enjoy the Moment, Says Usher
Usher’s advice to Kendrick is simple yet profound: savor the moment. “You get obsessed in trying to build the best performance, but you don’t realize that it’s really about enjoying it,” he said.
He reminded Kendrick that it’s okay if everything doesn’t go exactly as planned – what matters most is being present and soaking it all in.
“If you are in your mind and stuck trying to make something perfect, you’re not going to look up and smell the flowers,” Usher added.
A Message of Encouragement
Usher’s message to Kendrick is one of encouragement and support. He wants the young rapper to know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he should make the most of it.
“Realize, ‘Wait a minute, I’m here and I get a chance to have this moment and I’m not going to get it again, I’m not going to get this moment back,'” Usher said.
He hopes that Kendrick will use this moment to showcase his incredible talent and make a lasting impact.
A Benchmark for Artists Everywhere
Usher also praised Kendrick for being an inspiration to many.
“There’s a lot to be said for where hip-hop has come from, there’s a lot to be said for that young man and how he’s completely been an incredible benchmark for what it is to be an artist,” he said.
With his unique style and captivating stage presence, Kendrick has already proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
