Usher and Chris Brown have canceled two more stops on their R&B Tour, scrapping their November 16 show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood and their December 6 show at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
Ticket holders for both dates are being refunded. Fans in Los Angeles found out when their Ticketmaster accounts started showing the event as canceled, according to TMZ, which obtained a screenshot from one buyer. No reason has been given for either cancellation.
The news lands days after reports of tension between the two in Atlanta. According to TMZ sources, Usher and Chris Brown got into it backstage on November 5, the opening night of their five night run at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Usher’s hometown. Usher reportedly wanted to start the show on time. Chris reportedly wanted to hold it so fans stuck in Atlanta traffic could get inside and see the whole thing. The show ended up starting almost three hours late, and the midnight curfew cut both sets short. The duets fans paid for never happened that night, leaving the crowd with what felt like two separate concerts.
Night two was still noticeably distant, but by night three the pair were back on stage together performing “New Flame.” About a week after the Atlanta blowup, a TMZ source said the two still had not sat down privately to clear the air and described their relationship as “still icy.”
Chris pushed back on the feud talk with a cap emoji on his Instagram story. Usher has not said anything publicly. TMZ itself noted it is unclear whether the LA cancellation is connected to the reported beef or something else, so the feud remains reported tension and not a confirmed reason for the canceled dates.
Tank also weighed in on the rough opening night, suggesting part of the problem was rust since the production had just come back from three weeks off.
That break came from the first round of cancellations. In October, Usher and Chris Brown dropped four stadium dates in Baltimore, Cincinnati, Columbia, South Carolina, and Indianapolis. The promoter said it was canceling those shows to protect the health and wellbeing of the touring party and crew after a long run of sold out stadiums.

Those dates also lined up with Chris’s legal calendar. He was required to return to the UK by October 25 ahead of sentencing in his London case. In July, he pleaded guilty to affray, a British charge for taking part in a public fight that disturbs public order, tied to a 2023 incident at a London club. The more serious assault charges were dropped.
Both the LA and Miami shows were among the extra dates added in August because demand for the tour was so strong. With these two gone, six shows have now been cut from the R&B Tour.
Usher and Chris Brown wrap their Atlanta residency on Wednesday, November 11. The tour is scheduled to head to New Orleans next for two nights at the Caesars Superdome, with remaining dates running through December 12. No changes to those shows have been announced.
