Chris Brown‘s 34th birthday party ended with a physical altercation between him, his team, and the festivities host, Usher. The longtime collaborators and R&B legends reportedly tussled over an incident involving Teyana Taylor.
Hollywood Unlocked first reported the story, and sources close to the situation confirmed the altercation took place at Friday’s skate party. However, Brown’s crew is allegedly blamed for putting actual paws on Usher.
Usher’s son seemingly referenced the incident in a post-and-delete. Photos and videos from before the fight have surfaced online. Meanwhile, Chris, Usher, and Teyana haven’t explicitly addressed what happened, but Brown did react to another incident of him in a heated backstage confrontation.
But let’s take it back to Friday evening. According to HU, the alleged brawl between Brown’s team and Usher went down at Skate Rock City in Las Vegas. A few hours into the party, HU claims Brown “got disrespectful” with Teyana for an undisclosed reason. Their source reportedly added that Chris was”intoxicated” at the time.
When Usher and a few guests rushed over to calm the situation, Brown allegedly called Usher “a coward,” per HU. Meanwhile, TMZ reports that the party went left after Chris approached Teyana while she was sitting on a bench outside the rink. However, she reportedly ignored him, setting him off and catching Usher’s attention. Brown then allegedly started cussing both his fellow R&B singers and friends.
Eventually, he and his crew exited the venue–prompting Usher to follow them to an area behind a few charter buses. Shortly after, TMZ’s sources claim Usher emerged with a bloody nose. As of Monday, no police or hospital reports about the incident have surfaced.

Usher's Son Seemingly Reacts To Alleged Fight And Usher Emerges Without Injuries

Saturday morning came around, and Usher, Teyana, and Chris remained silent. However, Usher’s son, Usher Raymond V, dropped a lil’ anime that drew mixed reactions online.
The posts on his Instagram Story (@cincoye) depict an anime scene where a character allegedly gets “jumped” by another group.
He wrote “looking ahhhh” on one post, adding, “Don’t message me about it.” In another post, he wrote, “lemme stop playing.”
“Playing” isn’t what folks online got from the posts. Instead, they took the anime reference as confirmation of the story that Chris and/or his team assaulted Usher outside the skating rink.
Though he deleted the posts, including one that read “spin back finna be bonkers,” it had little impact on curving the narratives.
Meanwhile, Usher emerged online at the Lovers & Friends Festival on Saturday without a visible bump or scratch.
“We here, having a great time. See y’all soon,” he said.
