  "account": "Usher and Chris Brown have called off two additional shows on their joint \"The R&B Tour,\" adding further credence to rumors of backstage animosity between the two artists. The tour, which had initially added six additional concerts in August due to high demand, now sees six of those shows canceled. The most recent cancellations are scheduled for November 16th at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and December 6th at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. As of now, nine more dates remain on their itinerary before concluding in Tampa on December 12th. The source of tension appears to stem from a reported altercation between Usher and Brown before their November 5th show in Atlanta. According to TMZ, the two disagreed over whether to delay the concert due to heavy traffic around Mercedes-Benz Stadium, resulting in late arrivals for many fans. Usher reportedly insisted on taking the stage immediately, while Brown desired to wait for all patrons to enter the venue. Brown seemingly dismissed these claims on his Instagram Stories, stating, \"Internet 🧢Don't fall for it.\" A follow-up report by TMZ on November 10th suggested that the relationship between the headliners remains \"icy.\" It's important to note that the cancellations, which include shows in Baltimore, Cincinnati, South Carolina, and Indianapolis, may also indicate a decline in ticket sales for the tour. For more information on the remaining dates and potential deals, fans are encouraged to visit Vivid Seats using promo code COS20 for a $20 discount on orders of $200 or more.",
