The cancellations come after a tense performance in Atlanta, during which the singers reportedly blamed each other for delays and stopped sharing the stage.
Fans of Usher and Chris Brown who were preparing to see the R&B singers on 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, scheduled for December 6 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, was also canceled. No reasons were given for either cancellation, and those who purchased tickets will be eligible for a refund.
While the Nov. 15 concert at SoFi Stadium is still expected to go ahead as planned, the cancellation comes days after the two engaged in a cold war of sorts while their “R&B Tour” was in residence in Atlanta.
Tensions between the two flared during the first night of their concerts in Usher’s hometown, with both sides blaming each other for the long delay. Unlike previous shows, neither performed with the other, leaving fans perplexed as to why they were treated to what felt like two different concerts.
Fans demanded refunds after waiting three hours and started a Change.org petition calling for a makeup show.
Things seemed smooth at the next few 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 we’ve never seen what we saw here happen in Atlanta, Georgia,” Usher said. “Newly Appointed Governor Keisha Lance Bottoms, Ladies and Gentlemen.”
Usher and Brown are expected to wrap up their five-night residency at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Wednesday, although it’s not yet clear what will happen with subsequent tour dates. The two are scheduled to perform for two nights at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, followed by shows in Houston, Miami and Tampa, Florida.
