Andra Day, Usher & Icons Perform At SuperBowl

The SuperBowl starts off with Andra Day singing, "Lift Every Voice," sending her soul throughout the stadium following Post Malone singing, "America the Beautiful" in the city of Las Vegas. 

Following that amazing performance, Reba McEntire eloquently takes the field singing the National Anthem. It was beautifully done! 

During the halftime show, Usher glows in a white suit performing elegantly with other dancers on the football field. 

Usher than presents Alicia Keys at the piano. 

As the "caught up" artist continues he takes his shirts off, not a wardrobe malfunction, singing his heart out! 

Lil Jon appears rhyming within a crowd of people performing with Usher. It was an awesome duo!

This was overall a spectacular halftime show.

Drake's YOLO Estate Sells

 Drake YOLO Estate Sells For $12 Million

Drake can pop champagne, because he just unloaded the main residence of his YOLO estate.

TMZ has learned the deal closed Friday, with an unknown buyer scooping up Drake's former pad for $12 million ... which is well below the $14.8 million asking price.

Remember ... Champagne Papi's YOLO estate is made up of 3 contiguous homes in an exclusive neighborhood in Hidden Hills.

Drake put the entire compound on the market back in March, drawing interest from celebs like Britney Spears and Caitlyn Jenner, before Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford dropped $11 million on the 2 smaller homes.

The main residence, which just sold, is an English Tudor ... and it's 12,500 square feet of pure luxury.

The place has all the bells and whistles ... including 6 fireplaces, a wine cellar and tasting room, plus a 25-seat theater and naturally, a recording studio.

The backyard is a total oasis ... featuring a huge swimming pool with a spa grotto, swim-up bar, waterfalls and an 80 foot long rock waterslide, surrounded by big-screen TVs.

Oh and Drake's place also has separate courts to play tennis, basketball and sand volleyball ... plus a horse stable, equestrian ring and a mechanical riding bull.

Safe to say the new owner will be well entertained.
