Usher & Chris Brown’s Los Angeles Show Canceled As The Backstage Feud Stays Icy
The R&B Tour just lost its Los Angeles date.
Usher and Chris Brown’s co-headlining show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, scheduled for Monday, November 16, has been canceled. TMZ obtained a screenshot from a ticket holder’s Ticketmaster account showing the event marked “CANCELED,” and fans were notified that they will be refunded. Ticketmaster’s own listing for the November 16 date now shows the show as cancelled, too.
The cancellation drops in the middle of a reported rift between the two stars. According to TMZ sources, the pair got into a heated argument backstage during the Atlanta stop of the tour. Per those sources, the argument was about timing: Usher wanted to start the show on time, while Chris Brown wanted to hold it so fans stuck in traffic could make it inside — and the disagreement pushed the concert back nearly three hours.
Tour mate Tank has publicly suggested the issues were worked out after that first night, but TMZ’s sources are telling a different story: the two still have not sat down to resolve it, and one source described their relationship as “still icy.”
Here is what is NOT confirmed: whether the feud had anything to do with the Los Angeles cancellation. TMZ says it is unclear whether the cancellation is connected to the tension between the two or to other factors, and no official reason for pulling the date has been announced.
ITSBIZKIT readers already know where this was heading. Fans who lived through that nearly three-hour Atlanta delay at Mercedes-Benz Stadium were already signing a petition demanding refunds over how the night went down. Atlanta fans had to organize and petition to get their money back — LA fans are getting their refunds automatically.
For now, the rest of the run is still on the books. Per TMZ, the pair are still scheduled to perform in Atlanta on Tuesday, November 11 and Wednesday, November 12, and a second SoFi Stadium date is still set for Sunday, November 15.

So what do you think — did the backstage feud really cost Los Angeles this show, or is something else going on behind the scenes?
