What happened when Usher pulled the fan onstage?
During Saturday’s Nashville stop of The R&B Tour, Usher pulled concert-goer Gabrielle Cheyenne onstage for a seductive dance moment. Her stiff, uncomfortable reaction quickly went viral.
According to Page Six, Usher noticed she wasn’t enjoying herself, pulled back, and had her removed from the stage. The clip fueled days of online debate about fan etiquette and onstage chemistry.
Why did the fan say she preferred Chris Brown?
Speaking to TMZ on Monday, Cheyenne made clear where her loyalty lay. “Me, solely, I went to the concert for Chris Brown, it’s nothing against Usher,” she said.
“So, of course, it would have been a different reaction with Chris Brown,” she added. “It wouldn’t have been the stiffness or whatever the internet is portraying.”
She said she and her mom had floor seats before being approached and moved to VIP before the show started, with no instructions given. Cheyenne claimed she would have declined if she had known the moment was for Usher, 47, and not Brown, 37.
“It was never my intention to rile all these people up and ruin the moment,” she insisted, while noting she has listened to Usher “since I was a little girl” but can “prefer one artist over the other.”
How did she respond to the online backlash?
After Usher fans criticized her for accepting the stage invite, Cheyenne fired back on Facebook. “First off NOBODY is declining to go on stage,” she wrote, adding she “looked good” and wanted thousands of people to see her on the big screen.
She also referenced the VIP upgrade as “PRETTY PRIVILEGES” and closed with a blunt send-off to critics. Despite the drama, she was later photographed posing with Usher’s wife, Jennifer Goicoechea, backstage — a sign there was no lasting bad blood with the singer’s camp.
