Usher only got paid $671 for his Super Bowl halftime show

Usher did his thing, during his Super Bowl performance, and reminded the world. Most wrote him off, seeing how many years passed between his hits. Normally, an artist doing a Las Vegas residency signals the end of their career. For Usher, it was a rejuvenation, and it led to the NFL recruiting him to do the halftime performance, for the Super Bowl. With all the attention Usher garnered, it turns out he only received $671 for his efforts.

Usher brought in over 30 million viewers with his halftime performance. This was a major increase over the performance Rihanna did, a year ago. Over the years, there have been discussions about what the performers for Super Bowl receive. It has become the general consensus that artists do Super Bowl in order to receive exposure. As a result, it’s widely assumed that artists end up not getting paid for these kinds of shows. However, it’s been revealed that Usher did get paid.

Usher has been crowned for having the best halftime show performance of all-time. Those who are old enough to remember seeing it live have pit him against Michael Jackson’s 1993 performance. But those who watched this play out said Usher is this generation’s Michael. Regardless, it’s being said that Usher did get paid for doing the Super Bowl. However, it’s highly controversial for most, seeing how he only received $671. But he’s generated over $100 million for himself.
