Another joked: “Jermaine Dupri pulled up to the stylist with a picture of the mayflower and eddie munster and said make sum shake for me.”

Another said about the hitmaker: “Jermaine Dupri dressed like Wednesday Adams.”
Dupri was one of many special guests Usher brought out during his Super Bowl halftime show alongside Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Lil Jon, H.E.R. and will.i.am.
