Usher & Chris Brown’s L.A. Show Is Canceled as Their Backstage Beef Stays “Icy”

The Usher and Chris Brown tour just hit its biggest bump yet — their Los Angeles show is off, and the two R&B giants still haven’t made peace after their backstage blowup in Atlanta.

TMZ reports the pair were scheduled to perform at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood next Monday, November 16, but a screenshot from a ticket holder’s Ticketmaster account shows the event now marked “CANCELED,” with fans notified they’ll be refunded. TMZ is careful to note it is unclear whether the cancellation is connected to the feud or to other factors, and says it has reached out to reps for both stars for comment.

The cancellation lands in the middle of a standoff that has now stretched past a week. Sources tell TMZ that Usher and Chris still haven’t sat down to hash out their issues since their heated argument backstage at their Atlanta concert last week, with one source describing the relationship as “still icy.” That is despite singer Tank claiming the two had already talked things through and fixed it — TMZ’s sources say otherwise.

The argument itself started over the clock. Usher wanted to start the Atlanta show on time, while Chris wanted to hold it so fans stuck in traffic and road closures could get inside the stadium. The disagreement pushed the concert back nearly three hours, and the fallout has been playing out in public ever since. Chris has since called cap on the claims that the two are beefing, but the tension keeps finding new ways to surface — including Chris bringing out Gabrielle Cheyenne, the woman who famously rejected Usher on stage, at a show over the weekend. Sources tell TMZ Usher was unfazed by the move and had no issue with it.

Fans, meanwhile, are making their own feelings known. More than 3,000 people have signed a change.org petition over the Atlanta show, demanding refunds or another show after the night was rushed and delayed. For now, the tour rolls on — the duo is still scheduled to perform in Atlanta on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, with another SoFi Stadium date on November 15 still on the books, and the run is set to finish up on December 12. The cast and crew, sources say, have kept a good energy through all of it and are hopeful the two stars will sit down soon and get their energy back for the remaining shows.

Whether the November 16 cancellation is the feud’s latest casualty or something else entirely, one thing is clear: the most-watched backstage story in R&B right now is still wide open, and everybody is waiting to see what happens when these two share a stage again.
