In the fiercely competitive entertainment world, artists constantly navigate a landscape rife with scrutiny and expectations. It encompasses not just their talents but also their physical presentation. In a recent spotlight moment, Usher exemplified sheer perseverance, undertaking arduous preparations for his Super Bowl performance, driven by an unwavering dedication to excellence.
This dedication starkly contrasts with the prior ridicule faced by 50 Cent, who found himself subjected to unfair critique and body-shaming for his choice to retain his shirt during a performance. These contrasting experiences underscore the multifaceted challenges artists encounter in pursuing their craft.

Usher geared up for his biggest performance: the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show. Known for his electrifying stage presence and unwavering dedication to excellence, the songwriter left no stone unturned in his preparation.
When the announcement came that Usher would headline the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show, excitement rippled through his fanbase. In a recent interview on Good Morning America (abcNews), Usher hinted at the hard work behind the scenes, jokingly mentioning his quest for perfect abs.
With the pressure on him to deliver a memorable performance, Usher undoubtedly put a lot into the work to ensure he’s in top shape.
The Super Bowl halftime stage has been a platform for artists to showcase their musical talents and physical appearance. Reflecting on past performances, Usher made light of the infamous moment when 50 Cent faced criticism for keeping his shirt on.
With a mix of humor and determination, Usher channeled his focus into his training regimen, likely under the guidance of a dedicated fitness coach. The singer stated,
“I think about — you know — let me see, a couple of people have decided to take their shirt off onstage. So — Adam Levine, yeah, he definitely took his shirt off. So I’m like, okay, whatever Adam’s doing… so I’m getting my chest together, getting my six-pack together.”
Usher’s dedication to his craft is evident. Despite the challenges and pressures that come with such a high-profile performance.
However, it’s worth mentioning that 50 Cent has faced trolling and body-shaming before. But he didn’t stay quiet about it. He clapped back at the folks who fat-shamed him at the Super Bowl.
50 Cent Credits Fans Who Fat-Shamed Him For Body Transformation
50 Cent dropped a bomb on Instagram recently. He thanked all those haters who body-shamed him at the Super Bowl back in 2022 for helping him get in killer shape.
Remember when he rocked the halftime show with Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre? That’s when he got hit with a ton of fat jokes. But instead of letting it get to him, he used it as fuel to slim down.
Now, he’s flexing his new physique on Instagram, captioning his post with some serious swagger. He wrote,
“I done turned into Mr let’s make a deal on these hoes. [shrugging man emoji] The f*ck you gonna tell me now? Yall was calling me fat at the super bowl [confused face emoji] don’t think I forgot that shit! @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.”
Talk about turning the tables. Back in the day, 50 Cent was all about showing off his muscles, especially in those music videos where he was hanging upside down. But when trolls started poking fun at him for his halftime performance, he didn’t let it get him down. Instead, he turned it into motivation to transform his body.
This move by 50 Cent shows how he’s able to take something negative and turn it into something positive. It’s all about owning who you are and using challenges to fuel personal growth.
And let’s face it, seeing him bounce back like this sends a powerful message about resilience and self-improvement.
