Chris Brown Appears to Respond to Criticism of R&B Tour After Atlanta Show Starts Late: ‘Internet [Cap] Don’t Fall for It’
Fans have continued to speculate about friction between Brown and Usher.
Chris Brown and Usher launched their R&B Tour in Atlanta at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but their debut night faced significant challenges on Thursday, November 5. The show began over two hours late, and Brown and Usher never performed together, with each artist's set being cut short before the midnight curfew. T.I. and Young Dro served as the special guests for the night.
Despite the difficulties, Brown tried to dismiss the criticism on his Instagram Story, telling his followers not to "fall for it." However, Usher's introduction of Brown with "Welcome to my show" only fueled the rumors of a strained relationship between the two artists. Fans expressed their disappointment and frustration on social media, with some suggesting the tour should be ended, while others urged Brown to distance himself from Usher.
The R&B Tour has been a financial success, generating $77.4 million and selling 423,000 tickets across 10 shows in September. The tour is set to continue in Atlanta with four more shows before heading to Los Angeles.
