The cancellations come after a tense Atlanta performance where the singers reportedly blamed each other for delays and stopped sharing the stage.
Fans of Usher and Chris Brown who were gearing up to see the R&B singers for their tour on November 16 will have to make new plans. According to TMZ, their concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood has been canceled.
Another show, planned for December 6 at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, has also been canceled. No reason was given for either cancellation, and those who purchased tickets are subject to a refund.
While the duo’s November 15 show at SoFi Stadium is still set to take place as scheduled, the cancellation comes days after the two engaged in a bit of a cold war while their “R&B Tour” held residency in Atlanta.
Tensions between the two boiled over during the first night of their shows in Usher’s hometown, with both sides blaming the other for a lengthy delay. Unlike in previous shows, neither performed with the other, leaving fans puzzled as to why they were being treated to what felt like two different concerts.
Fans demanded refunds after waiting three hours and have launched a Change.org petition calling for a makeup show.
Things seemed smooth during subsequent shows. On Sunday, Usher and Jeezy paid tribute to Georgia Governor-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms, who was in attendance.
“We’ve been here before, right? But never have we ever seen what we’ve seen here happen in Atlanta, GA,” Usher said. “The newly appointed governor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, ladies and gentlemen.”
Usher and Brown are set to conclude their five-night residency at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Wednesday, though it remains unclear what will happen to subsequent tour dates. The two are set to perform for two nights at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, followed by shows in Houston, Miami and Tampa, Florida.
