Usher and Chris Brown have canceled two additional concerts on their joint R&B Tour as reports of tension between the singers continue to attract attention. The November 16 performance at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and the December 6 concert at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami have both been canceled, with Ticketmaster confirming that affected customers will receive refunds.
The cancellations follow reports of a backstage disagreement during the pair’s November 5 concert in Atlanta. Neither singer has publicly confirmed an argument, and organizers have not announced an official reason for the two canceled performances.
Why Did Usher and Chris Brown Cancel Their Concerts?
Ticketmaster updated its listings to show that the November 16 Los Angeles-area concert and December 6 Miami performance would no longer take place.
Customers who purchased tickets through the platform were informed that refunds would be returned to their original payment methods once funds were received from the event organizer.
Other performances remain scheduled, including the November 15 concert at SoFi Stadium and December 3 and 5 shows at Hard Rock Stadium.
The changes come after four additional concerts were canceled in October, including scheduled performances in Baltimore, Cincinnati, Columbia and Indianapolis.
At that time, organizers cited the physical demands of the tour and the need to protect the health and well-being of performers and crew members.
No similar explanation has been publicly confirmed for the November cancellations.
What Happened Between Usher and Chris Brown in Atlanta?
The reported disagreement occurred before the opening concert of the singers’ five-show Atlanta engagement at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on November 5.
The performance was scheduled to begin at approximately 7:30 p.m. but reportedly did not start until around 10 p.m.
According to reports citing people familiar with the situation, Usher wanted the concert to begin while Brown preferred waiting for fans delayed by traffic and road closures.
The disagreement allegedly caused tension backstage and contributed to the delayed performance.
Concertgoers also complained that the show ended earlier than expected and that several planned collaborations were missing.
During his solo appearance, Usher told the audience, “Welcome to MY show.”
The singers did not perform their 2014 collaboration “New Flame” together during the opening concert, prompting further speculation about their relationship.
Chris Brown Responds to Feud Rumors
Brown appeared to dismiss speculation about a disagreement through a message posted on his Instagram Stories.
“Internet 🧢. Don’t fall for it,” he wrote.
The singer did not specifically identify which reports he was addressing.
Usher has not publicly confirmed the alleged backstage confrontation.
Reports published on November 10 suggested that the two performers had not privately resolved their disagreement. However, those claims were attributed to unnamed sources and have not been independently confirmed.
Singer Tank, who is part of the tour, offered a different perspective during a radio interview, suggesting that conversations had helped resolve the situation.
The performers subsequently continued their Atlanta engagement.
Usher and Chris Brown Share a Hug During Atlanta Concert
Despite the reported tension, Usher and Brown appeared together during their November 10 performance at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Video from the concert showed the singers greeting each other and sharing a hug toward the end of the show.
The interaction followed several days of speculation about their working relationship.
The singers have collaborated for years on songs including “New Flame,” “Party” and “Back to Sleep.”
Their professional relationship dates to Brown’s early career, when Usher supported the younger performer.
In June 2026, Usher discussed their joint tour and described Brown as someone he respected professionally.
“He’s my brother, and he’s amazing as a performer,” Usher said.
The tour was announced in April as a major stadium production bringing together two established R&B performers.
Are Usher and Chris Brown Still Touring Together?
The R&B Tour remains scheduled to continue despite the two additional cancellations.
Usher and Brown are expected to complete their five-show Atlanta engagement on November 11 before moving to their remaining scheduled cities.
The tour is currently scheduled to conclude on December 12 in Tampa, Florida.
Both artists have continued performing together following the reported disagreement, and no announcement has been made about ending the tour.
As of November 11, 2026, the Los Angeles and Miami cancellations remain confirmed, while the reason for those changes has not been publicly disclosed. The remaining scheduled performances have not been canceled.
