Usher and Chris Brown made history this week in Atlanta with their “R&B Tour.”
The Grammy-winning superstars performed five nights at Mercedes-Benz Stadium this month, the most for an act on a single tour.
But the historic feat wasn’t without drama.
A delayed start, rumored feud and canceled shows marred some of the run — which occurred Nov. 5, 6, 8, 10 and 11. There were also loads of surprises and more amicable moments.
None of their reps responded to a request from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution for more information.
In case you missed any of the action, read the full story at the link in our bio.

Days after becoming the first Black woman elected governor in American history, Keisha Lance Bottoms visited Atlanta's historic Ebenezer Baptist Church.
Her visit highlights the church's enduring role in Black history, culture and political life. From Martin Luther King Jr. to Raphael Warnock, Ebenezer has been home to generations of influential leaders.
The AJC's @najjap and UATL senior editor @erniesuggs discuss the church's legacy, its roots in political activism and why the Black church continues to shape public life today.

Entertainer Flavor Flav spent Friday afternoon keeping his more than 300,000 followers on the social media platform Bluesky updated on the ground stop situation through his verified account.
“Ground stop will be ‘multiple hours,’” he posted just before 4:30 p.m. “This has been Flavor Flav from the Atlanta Airport. And now to Chuck D from JFK.”
Bluesky itself expressed its appreciation saying, “thank you for your on-the-ground reporting, Flavor Flav.”
The ground stop was lifted about 8:15 p.m. after nearly five hours but the reverberations could last days, with passengers likely to have their travel plans disrupted for some time.
Lengthy disruptions can wreak havoc on flight schedules for days, even after operations resume. That’s because canceled flights leave planes and crews out of place, and it can take an extensive amount of time to fly them to where they need to be and gradually adjust flight schedules for the disruption.

For Big Boi, one half of Atlanta’s legendary rap duo Outkast, diving into podcasting required heavy convincing, especially for someone who rarely gives interviews. Ten years of convincing, to be exact.
That’s how long his manager suggested the idea to him.
“It’s got to be about something,” Big Boi, speaking exclusively to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, said about his hesitancy to host a podcast. “It got to mean something.”

Before André 3000 stepped away from rap, he helped create one of the most Atlanta shows ever made.
Twenty years after its debut, "Class of 3000" still stands out for its bold animation, original music and heartfelt celebration of creativity.
In this edition of "Let Me Put U On," AJC producer Keith Lovely Jr. explains why the Cartoon Network series remains a hidden gem and an essential watch for Outkast fans.
Did you grow up watching “Class of 3000?”

The first of Usher and Chris Brown’s five shows at Mercedes-Benz Stadium didn’t start until 10:03 p.m. The stadium posted the show’s start time as 7:30. Usher’s people said the plan was to begin at 8:30.
Brown took the stage first with “Party,” a song featuring Usher that the two have performed together as the tour opener. Usher didn’t join him, and the pair never shared the stage. Early in his set, Usher told the crowd, “Atlanta, welcome to my show.”
With no opening acts, the delayed concert felt confounding and contentious, distracting from the singers' immense talent and disappointing fans on the opening night in the city Usher calls home.
“Atlanta deserved better,” writes AJC music and culture reporter DeAsia Paige, whose review raises the question of whether these two self-proclaimed kings of R&B even like each other.
They perform again tonight, Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Will the remaining shows fare any better? Get Paige's full review of opening night at the link in bio.

Usher knew exactly how to kick things off in Atlanta.
The R&B superstar opened night one of his and Chris Brown’s five-show run at Mercedes-Benz Stadium with his 2004 hit “Yeah!”
The concerts mark the most shows by any artist in the stadium’s history.
Check back tomorrow for @ajcnews culture reporter @deasia_paige’s review of The R&B Tour.

Last year, Beyoncé set a Mercedes-Benz Stadium record with four concerts on a single tour. Usher and Chris Brown begin a five-show run tonight that is set to break that record.
The R&B stars were originally scheduled for just two Atlanta shows. Three more were added, setting up a historic run in Usher’s hometown.
After nearly a decade of discussions, how did Usher and Chris Brown’s joint tour become a record-setting Atlanta run? Get the behind-the-scenes story from AJC culture reporter DeAsia Paige at the link in bio.
