Usher & Chris Brown’s Teams Are Working Overtime to Mend the Friendship — After the Feud That Canceled Shows

Just a day after it looked like Usher and Chris Brown were not speaking at all, the people around them are working to fix it.

TMZ reports that both artists’ teams are now working overtime behind the scenes to mend the friendship — a sharp turn from the day before, when TMZ reported the two were “still icy” with no peace talks happening after their backstage blowup. The teams want the two men in the same room to hash things out, but their packed schedules have made that easier said than done. Usher is out on tour with his family, and there simply has not been a moment for the two of them to sit down together.

The trouble started in Atlanta on November 5, when the two reportedly argued backstage before a show. Chris Brown wanted to wait for fans to get into their seats before starting; Usher wanted to get the show going right away. The standoff delayed the concert by hours, and when the show finally went on, both artists rushed through their sets. Since then, the fallout has been real — the November 16 show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles was canceled, and a December date in Miami was scrapped too, feeding the rumors that the joint tour was falling apart.

But there are signs the relationship is not as broken as the headlines made it look. At the most recent Atlanta show, Chris Brown called Usher his “brother” on stage — a small moment, but a telling one after a week of feud talk. It suggests that whatever happened backstage, the respect between the two is still there.

For now, the tour rolls on. After wrapping the Atlanta residency on November 11, the two head to New Orleans on November 20 and 21, then Houston on November 24, with Miami dates on December 3 and 5 before the tour closes out in Tampa on December 11 and 12. Whether the teams can get Usher and Chris in a room together before then is the question — but the fact that both camps are trying is the best news fans have had all week.
