The viral fan who Usher kicked off stage after an uncomfortable exchange in July returned on Sunday (Nov. 8) in Atlanta as Gabrielle Cheyenne got her wish to have her moment with Chris Brown.

Footage from the Mercedes-Benz Stadium show found Cheyenne in a trance as she was happily handcuffed to a dance pole while C. Breezy serenaded her with his 2007 hit “Take You Down.”
Cheyenne was all smiles on her IG Story and she even made the cut in Brown’s recap of Sunday’s show, which he posted to his Instagram Monday.
This turn of events ties back to the July 25 stop in Nashville of the R&B Tour, during which Usher brought Cheyenne on stage for “Can U Handle It?,” which ended in an awkward encounter. “I don’t think she want to be on the stage,” the “Yeah!” hitmaker said at the time as Cheyenne squirmed and seemed disinterested.
The exchange quickly became a viral moment from the trek, and Cheyenne spoke out on social media to defend herself, as the fan said she was hoping to be meeting Brown and not Usher.
“Yes I [went] on stage and no they don’t tell you who, what, when, where. Baby, I wasn’t going up there for Usher, I wanted CHRIS and CHRIS only,” she shared at the time. “Anywayss, anybody who wasn’t sitting VIP or has a face card that doesn’t qualify should hush.”
Usher playfully responded to the chatter days later at the July 28 show in Birmingham, Ala. “Now before we get started, don’t bring your a– up here if you don’t want to be here,” Usher said to the Protective Stadium audience. “God don’t like ugly, but he most certainly don’t feel too good about pretty privilege either.”
Usher and Chris Brown are currently in the midst of a five-show run at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, with a pair of concerts left set for Nov. 10 and Nov. 11.
The first ATL date allegedly got off to a rocky start, with the Nov. 5 show starting more than two hours late. “Internet [cap],” Brown wrote on his IG Story, seemingly in response to the tour’s critics driving a wedge between himself and Usher. “Don’t fall for it.”
