On May 5, Chris Brown hosted his 34th birthday party at a skating rink in Las Vegas. Teyana Taylor arrived at the event, which angered Brown. According to reports, Brown and Taylor are currently at odds due to Taylor pulling out of Brown’s canceled Michael Jackson tribute at the AMAs. Brown got angry at Taylor, causing Usher to step in and try to defuse the situation. This directed Brown’s anger at Usher and the two argued. Brown then left the venue, with Usher following him to continue the conversation. Outside, Usher was allegedly jumped by Brown and his entourage.
However, footage of the fight is yet to surface and many people remain skeptical about its severity. This is because the incident reportedly took place in a Vegas parking lot and yet no one appears to have actually witnessed the fight itself. Furthermore, gossip outlets are starting to catch flak for their glib tone about proceedings. As one commentator on a Neighborhood Talk post wrote, “I just find it weird that it took CB attacking Usher for y’all to seem how violent he is, but not the multiple women he has abused.” Both Usher and Brown were scheduled to perform at Usher’s Lovers & Friends Festival on May 6. However, it was unknown how the altercation would affect this.
Usher To Still Play Set
According to The Neighborhood Talk, Usher will still perform his set on the Friends Stage. “Our sources assure he’s going to power through and put on a good show. He may, however, be covering up a bit,” read the post on The Neighborhood Talk. Usher is set to begin his set at 7:55pm MDT. Usher reportedly suffered a bloody nose and bruised ribs after being jumped by Brown and his crew. The incident reportedly happened behind a row of charter buses at the roller rink where the birthday party was happening.
However, there is no word on whether Brown will perform his set. Brown was scheduled to perform at 6:15pm on the Friends Stage. However, it is unclear if that is still the case, even if Usher is still planning to perform. This is a developing story and any new updates can be found here on HotNewHipHop.
