Usher has capped off a star-studded week at his Las Vegas residency by bringing the audience back to the QB with a mini-set from Nas.
In the third week of October, Usher hosted Dr. Dre, Doja Cat, Summer Walker, Jessica Alba, and Jennifer Lopez at his ‘My Way’ show. But Nas may have topped them all. On Friday (October 20), the rap icon performed several songs during Usher’s show, including “You Owe Me” and “If I Ruled the World (Imagine That).”

“Your show was immaculate!” Nas commented afterwards on Instagram. “I had a great time!” You can see footage below.
Usher’s residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM on Thursday began in July 2023 and continues through December 2. Other celebrity visitors during the run have included Ashanti, Tiffany Haddish, Keke Palmer, and Saweetie.
Just a few months after Usher’s Vegas residency wraps up, he will be back in the city for an even bigger event — performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
The news was announced last month by the NFL and Apple Music, the halftime show’s presenting partner, with the R&B legend himself sharing a statement expressing his excitement for the performance of a lifetime.
“It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list,” he said. “I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before. Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon.”

JAY-Z — who’s helping to produce the halftime show in his role as the NFL’s live music entertainment strategist — also spoke about Usher’s forthcoming performance, which will be held on February 11, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas.
“Usher is the ultimate artist and showman,” Hov said. “Ever since his debut at the age of 15, he’s been charting his own unique course. Beyond his flawless singing and exceptional choreography, Usher bares his soul. His remarkable journey has propelled him to one of the grandest stages in the world. I can’t wait to see the magic.”
