Usher, an American singer and songwriter, sat down for an interview on the The Jennifer Hudson Show where he gave advice to Kendrick Lamar for performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Having headlined the show himself last year, he revealed, “I haven’t had the chance to catch up with him and tell him, one, how excited I am. I’ve talked to everybody around ... I’ve talked to all the producers, his creative team.”

“The one thing I would say is savor the moment ‘cause you get obsessed in trying to build the best performance but you don’t realize that it’s really about enjoying it,” he continued.

The singer added, “It might not be perfect, everything may not go exactly the way it’s supposed to but if you are in your mind and like stuck trying to make something perfect you’re not going to look up and smell the flowers.”

He further advised, “And 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’. So my encouragement to him is to really be present and I hope that he uses the moment well.”

Gushing over Lamar, Usher continued, “There’s a lot that could be said, 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.”

“I’m just hoping he really maximizes that moment,” he concluded.
