Usher and Chris Brown’s concert at SoFi Stadium on Monday, November 16, has reportedly been canceled, with fans being told they will receive refunds. TMZ obtained a screenshot from a ticket holder’s Ticketmaster account that lists the Inglewood show as “CANCELED.” The report arrives as the pair’s tour deals with the fallout from a reported backstage dispute in Atlanta.
TMZ said it is unclear whether the cancellation is connected to the reported feud between the two artists or to other factors. The outlet’s report includes no statements from Usher, Brown, Ticketmaster or event organizers, so the reason behind the change has not been confirmed. A separate SoFi Stadium performance on November 15 is still on the schedule.
The reported tension stems from the Atlanta show on Thursday, November 5. According to TMZ’s sources, Usher wanted to start the show on time while Brown wanted to delay so fans stuck in traffic could get into the stadium. The disagreement reportedly pushed the concert back by nearly three hours.
Sources describe the relationship as still icy
TMZ’s sources said the two have not yet sat down to resolve the dispute, and one described the relationship as “still icy.” The report does not say whether a meeting is planned. The pair is still scheduled to perform in Atlanta on Tuesday and Wednesday night. Those dates will show whether the tour can continue smoothly after the late start on opening night.
The November 16 date was announced by Live Nation as a fourth show at SoFi Stadium, which means the venue had already added extra capacity for the pair. TMZ’s report does not say how many tickets were affected or whether any other SoFi date changed.
The run is billed as The R&B Tour, which was announced in April and launched in Denver in June, with Atlanta hosting a five-night stand at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. However, TMZ’s report only concerns the Los Angeles date, and it does not mention any change to the November 15 show or to the remaining Atlanta nights.
Cancellations have already touched the tour once before. In October, fans received notices that select dates were being canceled, and the notices mentioned the need to prioritize the health of performers and crew. The new SoFi cancellation therefore arrives with a record that predates the feud. However, the October notices did not mention any dispute, and the reason for this week’s change has not been given.
Late starts at stadium shows have frustrated fans before, including the hours-long Jay-Z concert delay at Yankee Stadium that ended in a venue lockdown. In Atlanta, the delay reportedly came from a disagreement between the headliners over whether to wait for fans stuck in traffic, and it pushed the concert back by nearly three hours.
Refunds are the part of the report that has been stated most directly, as fans were notified they will be repaid. Still, the report does not say whether Ticketmaster has posted the cancellation publicly, and it relies on one ticket holder’s screenshot, so other ticket holders may see different information in their accounts.
Whether the SoFi show was removed because of the dispute remains unanswered. The November 15 date and the Atlanta nights will be the next tests, and an official statement would settle what TMZ’s sources have only described.
