Bieber fever, officially reactivated.
Justin Bieber joined Ludacris on the stage following the rapper's performance of "Baby" at Sports Illustrated The Party on Saturday, Feb. 7, marking a nostalgic reunion 16 years after the pair released the 2010 smash hit.
"Make some noise for my brother Justin Bieber," Ludacris, 46, told the screaming crowd of VIP partygoers at the pre-Super Bowl party thrown at the Cow Palace in San Francisco "Make some f---ing noise," the rapper added.

Before performing "Baby," Ludacris alerted the crowd that Bieber, 31, was in the house and dedicated the song to him. The rapper performed the song solo while the Canadian star's vocal track accompanied him.
Ludacris challenged the fans in the crowd to join him in his featured rap verse, but only if they remembered the string of lyrics that come in the back half of the pop anthem.

When Ludacris finished the song, Bieber climbed onto the stage, scaling barricades, to ultimately share a heartfelt hug with the rapper.
"Careful, be careful!" Ludacris said into the mic as Bieber hoisted himself over the gates.

The star-studded crowd included his wife Hailey Bieber, who PEOPLE spotted upon their arrival at the Cow Palace. The pair opted to forgoe the red carpet and slip through the back surrounded by an entourage of friends, including Michael Rubin, as they entered the venue around 11:30 pm PST.

Approximately 40 minutes later, Ludacris closed his set with "Baby" and the reunion took place. The night was filled with several surprises, including Travis Kelce's appearance on the stage with The Chainsmokers during their set.
Bieber entered the Super Bowl scene one week after he made his highly-anticipated return to the Grammys with a memorable performance of "Yukon" off his latest album SWAG. At the award show, his vocal prowess was put on full display (along with his tattoos and abs).
The singer's last Grammys appearance was in 2022. This year, he was nominated for a total of four awards, including Album of the Year (SWAG), Best Pop Vocal Album (SWAG), Best Pop Solo Performance ("Daises") and Best R&B Performance ("Yukon").
