Chris Brown and Usher appeared to put allegations of a feud to rest by sharing the stage during their second night in Atlanta on The R&B Tour.
On Friday (November 6), a clip posted to social media showed the singers performing the "Back to Sleep" remix on the second of their five nights at Mercedes-Benz Stadium with significant stage space between them.
Elsewhere during the show, Brown and Usher performed the remix to "It Depends."
The reunion came after allegations of a backstage dispute on Thursday (November 5). The venue was scheduled to have a 7:30 P.M. start, but the show didn't begin until around 10 P.M., between two and a half and nearly three hours late. The sets were reportedly cut short while Brown and Usher omitted their usual duets entirely. Fans also noticed Usher telling the crowd: "Atlanta, welcome to my show."
Brown and Usher were rumored to have had had a "verbal argument" over whether to hold the show while heavy traffic kept fans from entering the venue, anonymous sources told TMZ.
Those sources claimed the Grammy-winning musicians had developed "extremely competitive" tension throughout the joint tour which evolved into a clash of egos.
A slew of special guests, spanning hip-hop and R&B, also hit the stage on Friday, including Bow Wow, Muni Long, Jermaine Dupri, Tyrese and more.
Following the TMZ report, Brown appeared to respond to accusations of a rift with Usher by posting an Instagram Story that read: "Internet 🧢. Don't fall for it."
Announced in April, The R&B Tour comes nearly three years after Brown and Usher reportedly got into an altercation at a Las Vegas roller rink that allegedly started when Brown got upset with Teyana Taylor.
The Atlanta run continues Sunday (November 8) with more shows on November 10 and November 11, before the tour moves on to Los Angeles, New Orleans, Houston and Miami before concluding in Tampa on December 12.
