On Wednesday, American Singer Chris Brown says that the organizers of a benefit concert for victims of Hurricanes Ida and Nicholas have it all wrong. According to Chris, he didn’t bail only hours before the event, and he’s even offering a donation to support the community.
Recently Ms LaJuan Bailey thrashed Chris by claiming that he bailed on a March 19 show at the Toyota Center in Houston — called “One Night Only”, to raise money for people whose homes were damaged in the 2021 storms.
Bailey says that she advanced more than $1 million for Chris’s performance fees, accommodations, and private plane, only to get word he was cancelling during sound check.
“We’ve spoken to sources close to Chris and have seen a letter his legal team allegedly emailed to event organizers on March 17, informing them CB would no longer perform,” a source as per TMZ.
The letter states that Bryson Tiller who also had to perform at the event was removed from the lineup without a viable replacement, a violation of the contract Chris had in place … so Chris wasn’t going to perform.
The letter appears to have been sent 2 days prior to the show, not during the sound check … when Bailey claims she finds it out. It’s unclear if her team had known earlier and just hadn’t told her.
Currently, Chris’s sources say that both sides have been in negotiations to settle the situation, with him offering to make a 6-figure donation to a Houston-based charity, but no agreement’s been made yet.
Bailey recently vowed she’d take Chris to court if he didn’t make things right.
