Watch: Usher Addresses Online Conspiracy He Used a Body Double During New Jersey Concert Stop
Usher and Chris Brown may be caught up in some drama.
The singers are sparking rumors of a behind-the-scenes feud after canceling six shows—all of which were added to the touring schedule three months ago—in their ongoing The R&B: Raymond & Brown Tour, which initially kicked off in June.
The first sting of cancellations came in October, with shows in Baltimore, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Columbia, S.C., affected. At the time, organizers said the concerts were axed to “prioritize the health and well-being of the touring party and crew.”
“The demands of a tour of this length and scale are significant,” they said in a statement to Complex, “and these adjustments will allow the tour to continue safely and sustainably through the remaining scheduled performances.”
However, two more concerts were canceled on Nov. 10, less than one week after Usher and Brown’s show in Atlanta was pushed back by nearly three hours, according to TMZ.
Between the delay and the mass cancellations, many are starting to believe that Usher and Brown got it bad.
“Two of the smoothest men in R&B history. Can’t agree on a start time,” one fan wrote on X, while another quipped, “This usher Chris brown thing im ctfu.”

Still, the duo put on a united front on Nov. 10 during the fourth night of their five-show stop in Atlanta, with Brown, 37, calling the Grammy winner his “brother” in concert videos posted on social media.
E! News has reached out to Usher and Brown’s reps for comment but hasn’t heard back.
Usher, 48, and Brown are now only slated to perform at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium Nov. 15 after canceling their Nov. 16 show at the arena. They are also due to make stops in New Orleans, Houston and Miami—which saw its three-show lineup downgraded to two—before wrapping up the tour in Tampa Dec. 12.
