Usher's got a new confession: He's your Super Bowl halftime performer.

The NFL and Apple Music announced Sunday that Usher, the beloved R&B singer, will take the highly anticipated halftime slot. Reality star Kim Kardashian broke the news using the opening of his "Confessions, Pt. II" music video.

"I finally got the answer to those rumors. It's not about me. It's about you," Kardashian says. "You're doing the Super Bowl."

"Quit playing with me, man," Usher responds in the recycled clip.

Usher, whose full name is Usher Raymond, reposted the announcement on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, and in his own post simply wrote: "LAS VEGAS. APPLE MUSIC HALFTIME SHOW. #SBLVIII"
