Fan Who Went Viral for Curving Usher Onstage Is Serenaded by Chris Brown in Atlanta
At the R&B Tour concert at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, on the night of November 8, Chris Brown serenaded onstage, during his song "Take You Down," the same fan who went viral in July for her unenthusiastic reaction to Usher, according to multiple entertainment outlets including The Shade Room, HotNewHipHop and BOSSIP. The fan, Gabrielle Cheyenne, reposted on her Instagram Story on November 9 the photo Brown had shared of the two of them onstage; BOSSIP reported that she also shared footage of the moment, and Brown included the photo in an Instagram photo dump.
The story began at the tour's Nashville stop on July 25, when Usher brought Cheyenne onstage during "Can U Handle It?" She appeared stiff and uninterested, Usher sent her off the stage, and the moment went viral. Cheyenne later explained on TMZ Live that she had come mainly to see Chris Brown, said she and her mother had been upgraded to VIP seating without being told in advance which singer would bring her up, and said her reaction would have been completely different had Brown been the one to serenade her.
In Atlanta, according to the reports, Cheyenne appeared far more engaged when Brown brought her up. Fans online read the moment as a playful jab at Usher, and rumored tension between the two stars resurfaced. But according to BOSSIP, Brown and Usher also closed that same November 8 show together, performing their 2014 collaboration "New Flame" and taking a bow hand in hand. Neither singer has publicly confirmed whether inviting Cheyenne onstage was a deliberate callback to July, and Usher has not publicly responded to the moment.
According to BOSSIP, Atlanta is a five-night stand on the joint tour and November 8 was its third night, with guests including Summer Walker, Keith Sweat and Jeezy; HotNewHipHop reported the Atlanta run closes on Wednesday.
