Usher and Chris Brown’s joint tour has suffered another setback, with one of the duo’s upcoming Los Angeles concerts now listed as canceled. The development comes days after reports of a heated backstage disagreement between the two R&B stars during their recent run of shows in Atlanta.
As first reported by TMZ, the singers were scheduled to perform at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Monday, November 16. However, Ticketmaster now shows the event marked as canceled, with customers informed that refunds would be issued to the original method of payment. Ticketmaster’s notice states that fans do not need to take any action and that refunds should appear within 14 to 21 days after the funds are received from the event organizer.

The reason behind the cancellation has not been confirmed. While the announcement arrives amid reports of unresolved tensions between Usher and Chris Brown, it remains unclear whether their disagreement played any role in the decision to scrap the November 16 performance.
The reported fallout follows an argument backstage during the pair’s Atlanta concert last week. According to TMZ, the disagreement began over the show’s start time. Usher reportedly wanted the performance to begin as scheduled, while Brown preferred to delay it so that fans held up in traffic would have more time to enter the stadium. The dispute reportedly resulted in the concert starting nearly three hours late.
Neither singer has publicly addressed the reported disagreement or confirmed that it has affected their professional commitments.
Despite the latest development, the November 16 cancellation does not mean that the duo’s entire Los Angeles run has been called off. Another performance at SoFi Stadium remains scheduled for Sunday, November 15. The pair are also expected to return to Atlanta for two additional concerts on November 11 and 12, following their three-show stretch at Mercedes-Benz Stadium earlier this month.
The R&B Tour, also known as the Raymond & Brown Tour, launched on June 26 in Denver. Initially announced with 33 stadium dates, the co-headlining trek expanded to 59 shows across 26 stadiums in the United States and Canada following strong ticket demand. The run is scheduled to conclude in Tampa on December 12, although three October dates had already been canceled before the latest Los Angeles development.
The tour marks the first time Usher and Chris Brown have joined forces for a full concert run, bringing together two generations of R&B performers. Their nine-act production features more than 50 songs, with the artists alternating performances and sharing several moments onstage, including renditions of “Party” and “New Flame.”
