There's a lot of speculation and alleged information floating around the Internet when it comes to Usher and Chris Brown's alleged tensions.

Usher and Chris Brown have been having a very successful joint tour so far. But some alleged drama might start to get in the way. If it is, though, it doesn't seem like the two will make it very apparent. After their alleged backstage argument in Atlanta on Thursday night (November 5), the two shared the stage (albeit from afar) for their second of five nights at Mercedes-Benz Stadium last night (Friday, November 6).

In a clip caught by diiito on Twitter, you can see the two performing the "Back To Sleep" remix from two different ends of the stage. According to TMZ, this distant staging is consistent with how they've performed this track so far on their joint trek. Also, they reportedly performed their "It Depends" remix as well.

This is notable because, during the first Atlanta night, they reportedly didn't perform their tracks together. However, social media discussion is pointing to clips of Usher allegedly storming off backstage, Breezy's Instagram comments under posts promoting the Usher shows, and more as alleged proof of their feud.

As for the reports on the matter, there are conflicting statements from TMZ about which artist allegedly wanted to wait fans to arrive at night one and which one wanted to keep the show going. Guests at night two reportedly included Bow Wow and Muni Long. This whole situation has also caused renewed discussion around Chris Brown and Usher's previous alleged altercations.

Chris Brown & Usher's Alleged Fight

For those unaware, Chris Brown and Usher's alleged backstage argument allegedly caused the three-hour delay for the first Atlanta show. While it doesn't seem like its second go-around faced these issues, TMZ reported heavy ego-clashing backstage as a source of tension.

Chris Brown seemed to deny these Usher rumors online, taking to his IG Story to write "Internet [cap emoji]. Don't fall for it." No reports have emerged about any statements the two may have made onstage last night.

But this joint performance of the "Back To Sleep" remix indicates that, if there really is any tension, they will keep the shows going as best they can. Still, fans continue to have questions about other missed duets and what the artists' body languages indicate. The duo has three more nights in Atlanta (November 8, 10, and 11), representing the most stops at the venue by a tour in the stadium's history.
