Fans have believed there’s beef between Chris Brown and Usher, who are currently co-headlining the R&B Tour. Frankly, tension between them has flared up in the public eye before, but after night one of their five-night stay at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, it felt like that tension was starting to affect the shows.
What might fan the flames of this theory is the fact that Chris Brown just brought up a woman on stage who previously rejected Usher during his set earlier in the year. This time, Gabrielle Cheyenne stood on stage with her back to a pole as Chris Brown seductively serenaded her with his 2007 song “Take You Down.”
Chris Brown Brings Fan On Stage Who Previously Curved Usher
There probably isn’t much drama surrounding this particular decision between the two stars. However, it probably made Cheyenne’s year. After her icy interaction with Usher during an earlier date on the R&B tour, she told TMZ that she actually wanted to meet Chris Brown, though she never wanted to disrespect Usher. By her reaction on stage this time around, it’s quite clear that she got exactly what she had hoped for from that reaction. But she also got a bit more than she bargained for since Chris Brown actually shared a photo of them on stage together in his latest photo dump on Instagram.
Ultimately, the latest performances in Atlanta have been much smoother than Thursday’s opener. Apparently, the issues that bled into the actual quality of the show was rooted in whether they should delay their concert because of traffic. Tomorrow will mark the fourth night of their performances in Atlanta before closing out the run on Wednesday.
We’ll keep you posted on any further updates on the shows.
