It's not just the Cincinnati concert. Usher and Chris Brown canceled more tour dates in the midst of rumors the two R&B stars are fighting.
The latest cancelations on their dual-headlining "R&B Tour" include a Nov. 16 show at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium and a Dec. 6 show at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Variety reported on Nov. 11.
The news comes after the performers previously canceled concerts in Cincinnati as well as Baltimore, South Carolina and Indianapolis. The hip-hop duo was scheduled to perform at Paycor Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 24.
The tour canceled those four stops due to the crew's health and wellness after a run of sold-out stadium shows, Enquirer media partner Fox19 reported at the time. "The demands of a tour of this length and scale are significant, and these adjustments will allow the tour to continue safely and sustainably through the remaining scheduled performances," a statement acquired by Fox19 reads.
This time around, outlets are pointing to widespread but unconfirmed reports that the two performers are feuding.
The cancelations come on the heels of a messy performance at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Thursday, Nov. 5. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution described the event as a "very late, underwhelming concert."

"At their Atlanta show Thursday night, ... the tour symbolized something deeper — that these two self-proclaimed kings of R&B may not even like each other," reporter DeAsia Paige wrote in her review.
"Put more plainly, Thursday’s delayed concert, with no opening acts, felt confounding and contentious, distracting from the singers’ immense talent and disappointing fans on the opening night in the city Usher calls home."
Usher and Brown didn't perform together during the Nov. 5 show as they had on earlier tour dates, according to Variety.
TMZ reported that the two experienced a backstage argument before the show. Usher wanted to start the show on time, while Brown wanted to delay the performance for fans stuck in traffic, according to TMZ. The concert ended up starting about two hours late.
Neither Usher nor Brown have confirmed the rumors.
