tricks
up
his
sleeve.

Mr.
Raymond
recently
sat
down
with

Good
Morning
America
to
reveal
some
of
his
plans
for
his
Super
Bowl
LVIII
halftime
performance
and
revealed
that
he
knew
he
wanted
to
pay
homage
to
Black
artists
who
came
before
him.

“I
think
about
what
our
country
has
kind
of
represented
for
Black
artists,”
said
Usher.
“Tou
know,
having
to
at
some
point
go
through
kitchens
to
even
be
able
to
perform
for
an
audience,
but
they
had
to
leave
back
through
that
same
door,
fear
for
their
lives
as
they
went
to
the
next
state
to
do
the
same
thing.

So
I’m
coming
through
the
front
door
with
this
one.”

Usher
has
been
in
the
music
industry
for
over
a
decade
now
and
contributes
much
of
his
success
to
his
support
system,
so
he
had
to
keep
them
in
mind
as
he
plans
and
prepares
for
his
performance.

“I
didn’t
start
where
I
am
now,
and
I
didn’t
get
there
by
myself,”
the
father
of
four
said.
“So,
everybody
that
has
been
a
part
of
it,
I’m
carrying
them
with
me.
All
of
my
fans,
my
loved
ones,
the
people
who
may
have
felt
like
they
have
been
forgotten,
they
haven’t.
I’m
carrying
you
right
with
me
when
I
walk
on
that
stage
that
night.”
