Chris Brown and Usher have not held a sit-down since a backstage argument delayed their Atlanta concert by nearly three hours, TMZ reported Tuesday. Sources describe the relationship as “still icy,” even after other outlets reported a stage reunion.
Chris Brown and Usher Have Not Talked, TMZ Sources Say
TMZ posted its exclusive at 12:00 p.m. PST on Nov. 10 (20:00 UTC). According to unnamed sources, the two stars have not met privately since the argument at their Atlanta stop last weekend. One source calls the mood between them “still icy.”
The report cuts against a comment from singer Tank, who said the two had talked and settled things. TMZ’s sources say no peace talks have happened. They add that the cast and crew of the R&B Tour keep a good energy backstage and hope the headliners sit down before the remaining shows. Neither Usher, Brown nor their representatives commented on the record. TMZ cites no other outlet for the new claims.
Backstage Fight Over Start Time Delayed the Show
TMZ’s sources say the argument centered on timing. Usher wanted the show to start on schedule. Brown wanted to wait for fans who sat in heavy traffic and road closures. The dispute pushed the opening back by nearly three hours, according to the TMZ report.
Bossip described the same first-night clash in a Nov. 9 article, calling it a verbal disagreement over the start time. Bossip says the Atlanta run covered five nights. Its story, posted at 18:05 UTC on Nov. 9, falls outside the 6-hour window and serves here as background.
Reunion Reports Clash With TMZ’s Sources
Bossip reported that the pair appeared to bury the beef. It says they performed “Back to Sleep” from opposite ends of the stage on night two and sang the remix of “It Depends.” On night three, Nov. 8, they closed the show together with “New Flame.”
TMZ’s new report does not dispute those performances. It says sharing a stage differs from resolving the argument. The two accounts describe different things: Bossip covers what fans saw, and TMZ covers what sources say happened away from the crowd. The opposite-ends staging on night two fits the TMZ version. The joint finale fits the Bossip version. Readers will likely take sides in the comments.
Gabrielle Cheyenne Brings Back the July Moment
The story also revisits Gabrielle Cheyenne. She went viral in July after she appeared to turn down Usher during an onstage moment. On night three in Atlanta, Brown brought her out, and Bossip says he serenaded her while she held a pole. Cheyenne posted footage on her Instagram Stories, and Brown reposted her photo, according to Bossip.
Bossip cites Hollywood Unlocked and Hungry Homegirl for the video. TMZ’s sources say Usher stayed unfazed by the segment. Some fans read it as a jab at Usher. Usher has not responded publicly, per Bossip. Next, watch for a statement from either camp and for any sign of a sit-down before the tour wraps. TMZ’s sources say the crew hopes for one.
