Chris Brown and Usher announce joint R&B tour and new music rollout

Chris Brown and Usher are teaming up for a joint run titled the R&B Tour, a nod to their names, Usher’s first name, Raymond, and Brown’s last name.

The duo announced the tour with a cinematic promo shared on Instagram, showing them biking through a city as fans rush toward a concert venue, ending with the pair stepping onstage together.

The two artists have previously collaborated on tracks like New Flame with Rick Ross and the more recent It Depends (Remix), which samples Usher’s classic Nice and Slow. 

Alongside the tour news, Brown also revealed his upcoming album Brown, set to release on May 8, and dropped a new single, “Obvious,” a smooth, romantic R&B track.

While the music rollout leans into love and nostalgia, Brown’s personal life has recently drawn attention after online tensions involving his daughter’s mother and rumored girlfriend Jada Wallace, prompting him to respond on Instagram, making it clear he’s staying out of “internet games.”
