Chris Brown called out after tour gets 'even freakier' in new 'inappropriate' video with fan
It seems the fan dances on stage at Chris Brown and Usher's concert are continuing - and are only becoming more and more x-rated as the tour goes on.
The 'Loyal' singer hit headlines last week after 'inappropriate' videos surfaced of him grinding vigorously on a fan. He had played in front of 35,000 screaming fans at the JMA Wireless Dome in New York on 1 August before he was joined by a ticket holder for a performance to his aptly-named song 'Get Down'.
The audience member at the centre of it all was later identified as dancer Kareem Divine, who was bound to a pole in the explicit performance before moving to an on-stage bed where the raunchy action continued.

Brown had first invited her up from crowd to cavort with him during the song. In footage posted online, the woman was seen being tied to a pole as Brown then licked the sweat off her arm and made pelvic thrust movements towards her.
The US singer then kissed her neck while the audience excitedly cheered them both on, though some music fans online complained that the concert had devolved into 'soft porn'.
In another somehow even more graphic clip, Miss Divine was seen being untied from the pole and then led to an onstage bed where Brown removed his hat and pinned her legs back as she led down.
But it has escalated once again in newly surfaced phone clips taken from the pair's Toronto gig at the Roger's Stadium on Tuesday (11 August). Dubbed 'even freakier', the on-stage antics once again continued and were slammed as 'soft-porn'.
The bed again made a return, with clips showing woman from the audience sticking out her tongue while lying on her front. Straddling her, Brown is seen pulling her hair and repeatedly thrusting into her over the course of a minute.
As the singer continues to belt out vocals, the woman in question then begins seductively grinding on him as the stadium cheers and screams, but it seems not all viewers were happy about it, and thought it was the most graphic performance yet.
In a fresh post on X sharing the clip, a post read: "This Chris Brown and Usher tour is getting freakier each show... He pulling hair and smacking a**. THIS TOUR IS WILD."
"I think they're mistaking the stage for a bedroom," responded one user, as another commented: "I just don’t understand how soft porn from alleged hip-hop artists is considered entertaining."
"Chris even mistook the stage in Toronto for his bedroom! Dude, he's doing more foreplay than singing," quipped another.
Dancer in on-stage video posts cryptic TikTok
The woman onstage with Chris Brown in one of the first clips last week was later identified as Kareema Divine. Her TikTok profile says she is a dancer, artist and content creator.
Last Monday (3 August), days after the on-stage moment, she shared a video appearing to be wearing the same black outfit as the woman in the dancing clip with Brown along with the caption 'a time was had baybee'. It showed her also posing and miming the lyrics to a song at what appeared to be the concert.
In a new cryptic message, Divine appears to have indirectly responded to the online backlash, with a short video captioned: "To the haters and the rumours >>>." The audio is heard to say repeatedly: "I can do what I want".
Usher also hasn't gotten off lightly. During the tour, the US singer has also caught plenty of attention over his on-stage antics. He previously took a swipe at fan Gabrielle Cheyenne who went viral for her on-stage reaction during their performance in Nashville on 25 July.
The 47-year-old danced topless with the Tennessee concertgoer, who didn’t seem to be enjoying his performance. Eagle-eyed fans captured her less-than-impressed response and was rapidly shared across social media.
Most extreme things singers have done at concerts
Chris Brown isn’t the only one to get up to some truly shocking things onstage. These singers also left concertgoers with their jaws on the floor.
Iggy Pop rolls in broken glass (late 1960s)
If you think Brown goes too far onstage, he has nothing on Iggy Pop.
Real name James Newell Osterberg Jr, according to Rolling Stone and The Guardian, during his shows the singer would regularly slather his body in peanut butter, vomit on the audience, roll around in broken glass and inject himself with drugs.
I’d be asking for my money back.
Ozzy Osbourne bites down on a bat (1982)
Perhaps the most famous example of an extreme concert moment, the late Black Sabbath frontman had developed a concert tradition in which he would chuck raw meat and animals’ body parts at the audience - which is bad enough on its own.
Knowing this was coming, some audience members threw stuff back at Osbourne.
In his 2010 autobiography I Am Ozzy, he said he thought the bat thrown at him was a rubber toy, but when he bit down, his mouth ‘was instantly full of this warm, gloopy liquid’.
The KLF fire blanks into crowd at the BRITs (1992)
You may not have heard of 90s electronic band The KLF, but they are behind perhaps the most shocking moment ever at the BRIT Awards.
After teaming up with punk band Extreme Noise Terror for the BRITs, they ended their raucous performance of their Number One hit ‘3am Eternal’ with frontman Bill Drummond brandishing a machine gun and firing blanks into the audience.
Following the performance, their publicist released a statement reading: “The KLF have now left the music business.”
Amanda Palmer gets naked onstage to hit back at critics (2013)
Indie rock singer Amanda Palmer, formerly of the Dresden Dolls, was understandably annoyed when the only part of her Glastonbury set one British newspaper focused on was a wardrobe malfunction.
Performing at London’s Roundhouse weeks later, she encouraged fans to record her performing a diss track to the publication.
At the song’s climax, she sang: “Far be it from me to go censoring anyone oh, no. It appears that my entire body is currently trying to escape this kimono.”
She dropped the kimono and was wearing nothing underneath.
