Usher wasn't the initial choice to headline the grand spectacle scheduled for February 2024 in Las Vegas.

However, she turned down the opportunity, citing her overloaded schedule.
Gossip also circulated that Lizzo had been considered for the role but was later ruled out due to her latest controversy.
Usher seems unfazed by all the hubbub surrounding him.
An inside source noted that Usher is aware he wasn't the event planners' initial pick but is eager to demonstrate that he's the perfect fit for the job.
Having recently enjoyed a successful Las Vegas residency, he feels confident in his performance skills.
"He has no problem proving himself and if people think he is going to be bad, he is looking forward to proving wrong all the haters," the source dished.
"This opportunity is incredible, and Usher is looking forward to making it very memorable."
