Month: October 2025

Promoters pulled the plug on Chris Brown’s upcoming Memphis concert, abruptly canceling the October 18 stop of his Breezy Bowl XX tour at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium—a show that would have marked the venue’s first major concert in 25 years.

Ticketmaster confirmed the cancellation but didn’t offer a reason. Refunds will be processed automatically within 14 to 21 days, according to the ticketing platform.

The Memphis date was set to feature Bryson Tiller and Jhené Aiko as special guests and would have been a landmark event for the stadium, which typically hosts college football games and the Southern Heritage Classic.

Despite the Memphis cancellation, Brown’s Breezy Bowl XX tour has been a financial juggernaut. As reported by Billboard, the tour has generated $241.4 million in gross revenue and moved 1.7 million tickets as of September 27.

That’s a 193% jump in earnings and a 270% spike in attendance compared to his previous tour. The tour has also shifted Brown from arenas to ballparks, tripling audience capacity.

In August alone, he pulled in $96.8 million from 14 shows, topping Billboard’s monthly touring chart for the first time in his career. The European leg was equally lucrative, bringing in $58.5 million from 14 sold-out dates and nearly half a million tickets sold.

Brown’s career has long walked a line between commercial success and legal drama.

In 2025, he was arrested in the United Kingdom after being accused of assaulting a music producer with a tequila bottle at a London nightclub. He pleaded not guilty to the charges in June.

Earlier this year, Brown also filed a $500 million lawsuit against Warner Bros., claiming a documentary falsely depicted him as a “serial abuser.”

Despite the legal turbulence, the Breezy Bowl XX tour rolls on.

With seven shows left, and an average of $7 million per stop in North America, analysts expect the tour to rake in another $45 million to $50 million.

That would push Brown’s career touring revenue past $500 million, placing him among the top-earning R&B performers in history.

The Memphis show was intended to honor Brown’s 20-year milestone in music, celebrating his evolution from a teenage breakout to a stadium-level headliner.

Latto addressed her long-running feud with Nicki Minaj and her recent reconciliation with Ice Spice during a lighthearted moment on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” Sunday night (October 5).

Appearing alongside Gizelle Bryant, the Atlanta rapper was hit with what Cohen called “the number one question” circulating online.

“Love seeing you and Ice Spice make peace. How did it happen, and will you be able to work things out with Nicki Minaj, too?” Cohen asked.

Latto laughed before diving into her answer.

“Okay, one at a time. First one, girls, you know we just… her team reached out to my team… we figured it out. At first, I was like mmh, but then I was like hmm,” she said, describing how the Ice Spice truce came together.

When it came to the possibility of ending her tension with Minaj, Latto didn’t shut the door.

“Yeah, I’m open to you know, rekindling with anybody,” she said.

Cohen followed up with a nudge, “Okay, you and Nicki… You gonna be back with Gizelle’s friend, Nicki?”

Bryant quickly added, “Yes, we love Nicki. We do.”

Latto replied simply, “I did, too.”

The Nicki Minaj-Latto feud erupted in October 2022 after Minaj publicly criticized the Recording Academy for moving her hit “Super Freaky Girl” out of the rap category while allowing Latto’s “Big Energy” to remain.

The disagreement spiraled into a heated exchange on social media, including leaked private messages and public jabs.

Latto shut down pregnancy rumors with a side of humor after images from her recent set at the Force Festival in Japan had social media sleuths convinced she’s expecting a child with 21 Savage.

The chatter kicked off when photos and videos from her performance began circulating online, with some viewers claiming they spotted a baby bump.

The online theories gained traction quickly, especially since Latto confirmed her long-rumored relationship with the Atlanta rapper, calling him “my man” and “my husband” during an interview last month.

Rather than issue a formal denial, Latto took to Instagram to poke fun at the speculation, posting more photos and a video from her Japan trip with the caption: “Too much wagyu & ramen.”

The post was widely seen as her way of brushing off the pregnancy talk without directly addressing it. But not everyone bought it.

Some commenters weren’t ready to let it go, dropping replies like: “Photo shop too good … I’ll see that baby in bout 4-5 months,” and “That’s what i said and now my daughter 6th birthday this week boo.” Another user asked bluntly, “Sis you pregnant or what? The people need to know.”

Despite the buzz, there’s no official confirmation or credible evidence that Latto is pregnant.

Latto and 21 Savage’s relationship has been a topic of curiosity since late 2020, when fans began connecting dots through their collaborations and subtle online interactions.

Observers pointed out tattoos behind both artists’ ears—hers says “Sheyaa,” his legal name, and he reportedly has “Alyssa,” her real name, inked in the same spot.

For years, the pair kept their romance under wraps. Latto often spoke about having a “private man” who spoiled her, while 21 Savage denied the dating rumors in interviews.
