A few hours after the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show premiered last night, Ludacris took to social media to express his love for Usher by calling him his long-time friend and brother.

Luda posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) where he playfully shouts out his wife, Eudoxie Bridges, by claiming none of the 115 million viewers compare to his number one fan before panning the video down to her.

He went on to genuinely express his love for the fans, citing how grateful he was for their support. The rapper also gave a shout-out to Usher, saying this was what they worked for, and identified their music as being a source of upliftment.

Luda also suggested he was lucky to witness the live reactions to their performance since he felt the entire stadium levitate and vibrate to Usher's Halftime show. He ends his statement by thanking all the viewers who witnessed the Super Bowl from their homes, stating:

"For the people watching on television and all around the world at home, thank you. I just wanna say thank you. Gratitude"

Fans appeared glad the rapper decided to share his appreciation with the fans and viewers of Super Bowl LVIII's Halftime show. They expressed their admiration for the rapper and his career in the comment section, of his post.
