What began as a surprise 34th birthday party thrown by Usher for fellow singer Chris Brown at a Las Vegas skating rink reportedly ended up with a surprise melee and injuries to Usher.
Multiple reports say Usher and Brown got physical over singer Teyana Taylor’s presence at Skate Rock City for the event. Both Usher and Brown were in town to perform at Saturday’s Lovers & Friends Festival.
According to TMZ, the beef stemmed from a canceled appearance by Brown at last year’s American Music Awards. The singer was supposed to perform a tribute to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” that he had rehearsed for weeks.
However, the segment was canceled for unknown reasons. Taylor apparently had a hand in producing it.
Hate in This Club
According to TMZ, Brown confronted Taylor about the incident, but she ignored him. This infuriated Brown, who demanded that she leave and that Usher help him kick her out.
TMZ posted the following video of the argument as it began.
After Usher refused and stood his ground, Brown reportedly called him a “coward” and left the rink with his crew.
TMZ posted the following video just as the celebration took a wrong turn. Eyewitnesses told TMZ that Usher went after them, boarding Brown’s tour bus and later emerging with what appeared to be a bloody nose.
Show Goes On
Both Usher and Brown performed their sets at Lovers & Friends Saturday night, neither showing any signs of an injury.
The pair have been close friends for years. Last year, Usher brought Brown up to join him for a song during his “My Way” residency at Park MGM. Presenting him with flowers in a viral video, Usher told Brown: “You a great. You’re a legend. We love you, and we gonna continue to keep lifting you up, bro.”
