Even though this was his first time headlining the show, it wasn't the first time he appeared on the big stage as he was one of the surprise guests of the Black Eyed Peas back in 2011 for Super Bowl 45. At the time, he joined Will.i.am for their song "OMG."
How Much Is Usher Getting From His Super Bowl Performance
Every year, the Super Bowl enlists legendary artists to perform for the Super Bowl Halftime Show, but it's surprising to know that none of them are getting paid. For clarification, they get $0 for their performance according to The Independent.
Even though there is no paycheck worth millions of dollars, Usher is expected to get a massive exposure which could potentially boost his listening streams on music streaming platforms after his performance.
CBS News clarified that the musician will still get paid under the union scale which is estimated to be around $1,000 per day.

"I want to be able to say I played the Super Bowl based on my talents and my merit, thank you very much," Perry said at the time.
