Chris Brown Appears to Respond to Criticism of R&B Tour After Atlanta Show Starts Late: ‘Internet [Cap] Don’t Fall for It’
The R&B Tour’s first Atlanta show began more than two hours late, and Chris Brown and Usher did not perform together. The delays forced both sets to be shortened to meet the stadium’s midnight curfew, prompting criticism from fans and speculation about tension between the co-headliners.
Brown responded on Instagram, calling the online reaction “cap” and urging people not to believe it. Usher greeted the crowd with “Welcome to my show,” which fuelled talk of a rift. Four Atlanta dates remain; the tour had grossed $77.4 million and sold 423,000 tickets across 10 September shows, according to Billboard Boxscore.
