Usher and Chris Brown's joint tour has been hit by a feud, with the two singers cancelling several concerts after a heated argument backstage in Atlanta. The argument reportedly started over a disagreement about the concert's start time, with Usher wanting to start on time and Chris Brown wanting to delay the show to accommodate fans stuck in traffic.
The concert in Atlanta was delayed by nearly three hours due to the argument. Usher and Chris Brown have since cancelled their concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on November 16, as well as their concert at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on December 6.
In total, the duo has cancelled six concerts, including shows in Baltimore, Cincinnati, South Carolina, and Indianapolis. Despite the feud, the tour has grossed more than $280 million through October 3, according to Pollstar.
The tour is scheduled to conclude in Tampa, Florida on December 12. Ticket holders for the cancelled shows will be fully refunded.
