The woman who was part of an NSFW act on-stage with Chris Brown has spoken out about the incident for the first time.
It came just days after Brown's tourmate, Usher, made headlines for all the wrong reasons after bringing a female audience member up on stage to share a steamy moment, which turned awkward.
The 'Loyal' artist is currently on tour with Usher as part of the R&B Tour across North America, running from June to December this year.
But Brown raised some eyebrows with the segment during his performance at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, New York, as he simulated sex with a fan.
Brown usually invites an audience member up during his shows to share an intimate moment during a rendition of his 2007 hit, 'Take You Down'.
On Saturday night (August 1), he invited a female audience member up, tying her against a pole, moving her up and down the pole as he thrusted into her, before starting to kiss her neck, which prompted cheers from the crowd.
Now, she has spoken out about the moment for the first time.
The woman, who has now been identified online as Kareema Divine, didn't hold back with her emotions, as she could be seen with a daring smile while letting out a moan as he laid one on her neck.
More footage of the on-stage interaction was soon released, showing Brown bringing the woman to an on-stage bed, where they partook in more NSFW simulated activities for thousands in the crowd to see, including simulating oral sex and licking up to her chest, before a smooch.
If that wasn't enough, clips from other parts of the segment show Brown licking the sweat off her body while she's tied up.
After clips of the exchange garnered millions of views, the woman has finally spoken out, seeming unfazed by all the attention.
Kareema's TikTok profile reveals that she is a dancer, artist and content creator.
Just two days after her moment with Brown, she posted a video seemingly wearing the same black outfit as seen in the viral clip.
She captioned the video, 'a time was had baybee', while she posed and mouthed the lyrics to a song which was performed at the concert.
After her outfit reveal, the TikToker hit back at criticism by lip-syncing to Natalie Nunn’s viral sound 'I do what I want,' which is repeated throughout the video.
She also shared a message on-screen, which read: "To the haters and the rumours >>>".
Fans took to the comments to show support, as one wrote: "Tell em girl …..I love this for you," as another wrote: "Well deserved 15mins if you ask me you ate! actually, he did."
A third said: "Keep doing you girl. Haters gonna hate."
In the comments below a post of the video, one user said: "Concerts have turn into soft p*rn yoo," with someone else agreeing with the point: "So people pay to watch live action p*rnos?
Others remembered Usher's awkward moment on stage, as a social media user wrote: "I see why that girl at the Usher show was p**sed she didn’t get Chris Brown looool," as another quipped: "That’s how that one girl thought her night was gonna be but got Usher lmaooooooooo."
A fifth user didn't hold back, claiming: "People are literally getting f***ed on the f***ing stage bro."

Chris Brown has raised some eyebrows after his performance at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, New York, after simulating sex with a fan.
The 'Loyal' artist is currently on tour with Usher as part of the R&B Tour across North America, featuring 33 dates and running from June to December this year.
In fact, Usher made headlines last month after bringing a female audience member up on stage to share a steamy moment, but it quickly turned awkward.
A shirtless Usher sang to the fan, later named as Gabrielle Cheyenne, as she appeared less than impressed, staying stiff and giving him a tight smile.
Despite the 'Yeah!' artist's best attempts to salvage the performance, he waved her off stage following the uncomfortable exchange, where she refused to join him on an onstage bed.
She later claimed that she was only at the show to see Brown.
Over the weekend, it was Brown who made headlines on their tour, though it wasn't for the same reason.
Unlike Usher, Brown sparked conversation online after getting up close and personal with a female fan onstage.
Like his tour buddy, the R&B artist usually invites an audience member up during his shows to share a charged moment during a rendition of his 2007 hit, 'Take You Down'.
And on Saturday night, Brown invited an eager fan up and held her up against a pole, tying her hands to it as he held her up.
The artist took it a step further, moving her up and down the pole as he thrust towards her, before starting to kiss her neck, which prompted cheers from the crowd.
That's not to say that she didn't enjoy it either, as she could be seen with a daring smile while letting out a moan as he laid one on her neck.
A seven-second clip of the exchange has gone viral on X, garnering over 8.3 million views, which has unsurprisingly resulted in thousands of comments being made.
If that wasn't enough, clips from other parts of the segment show Brown licking the sweat off her body while she's tied up.
One shocked X user commented: "Is this normal dancing or f***ing on broad daylight?" as another added: "Concerts have turn into soft p*rn yoo."
A third joked: "I see why that girl at the Usher show was p**sed she didn’t get Chris Brown looool," while someone else also quipped: "That’s how that one girl thought her night was gonna be but got Usher lmaooooooooo."
A different user asked: "So people pay to watch live action p*rnos?"
"People are literally getting f***ed on the f***ing stage bro," one disgruntled viewer wrote in the comments.
A video of Chris Brown getting steamy with a fan on-stage has resulted in many making the same observation about the encounter.
The US artist has been on tour with Usher as part of the R&B Tour across North America, and they have managed to make headlines along the way.
Just two months into their 33-date tour, Usher has already caused controversy after bringing a female audience member up on stage last month to engage in a steamy moment, but it quickly turned awkward.
In the exchange, a shirtless Usher sang to an unimpressed female fan, who remained stiff and gave him a tight smile.
While Usher's attempt ended awkwardly, as he waved her off stage after she she refused to join him on an onstage bed, she even took to social media to reveal that she only went to see Brown.
And during the duo's Saturday (August 1) performance at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, New York, the 'Fine China' artist may have proved why she wanted to be up with him.
The R&B artist usually invites a female audience member up during his shows to share an intimate moment during a rendition of his 2007 hit, 'Take You Down'.
Brown had a fan's hands tied up against a pole, before moving her up and down the pole as he thrust towards her, before starting to kiss her neck, which brought on cheers from the crowd.
She could be seen smiling and even moaning while he kissed her neck, before he started to lick the sweat off her arms and legs.
A short clip of the exchange has generated over 8.3 million views, but viewers all noticed the same thing about Brown's heated segment.
In the comments below a post of the video, one user said: "Concerts have turn into soft p*rn yoo," with someone else agreeing with the point: "So people pay to watch live action p*rnos?
Others remembered Usher's awkward moment on stage, as a social media user wrote: "I see why that girl at the Usher show was p**sed she didn’t get Chris Brown looool," as another quipped: "That’s how that one girl thought her night was gonna be but got Usher lmaooooooooo."
A fifth user didn't hold back, claiming: "People are literally getting f***ed on the f***ing stage bro."
While many were disgusted by the original video, an extended clip soon started to circulate online.
It involved Brown bringing the woman to an on-stage bed, where they partook in more NSFW simulated activities for thousands in the crowd to see.
The artist can be seen throwing the woman's legs back, before simulating oral sex and licking up to her chest and seemingly planting a kiss on her.
He can then be seen thrusting towards her while her legs are back, again simulating sex.
If the show organizers are trying to dispel claims being made by those online, they're not doing a very good job.
Another video has resurfaced from a Chris Brown concert in which the singer simulates an intimate act on stage - with some questioning whether it crosses the line.
Brown - as well as Usher, who is on tour with him - has quite literally thrust himself back into the spotlight in recent times with his overtly sexual performances.
First it was Usher, who asked a woman on stage the other day only to then kick her off because of her reaction.
The woman was clearly not feeling his hyper-sensual performance and dancing and looked awkward as hell up there.
Afterwards, that sparked a whole thing with competing statements and on-stage declarations from Usher as well as the woman herself, who not only defended her actions, but also said that she was mostly there for Chris Brown.
If it had been Brown who had grabbed her and brought her on stage, her reaction might have been different, even if his would have been quite similar.
The controversial R&B singer, who was convicted of assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna some years back, is known for his risque on-stage performances, which often take place on a bed and involve the singer bashing himself against the back of a woman to the delight of the crowd.
In one recent video, Brown tied a woman to a pole and held her against it - an interesting choice for a man with his past - before then starting to thrust at her and kiss her neck.
It was certainly too much for some viewers.
One comment asked: "Is this normal dancing or f***ing [in] broad daylight?”
"I see why that girl at the Usher show was p***ed she didn’t get Chris Brown looool,” said another.
"People are literally getting f***ed on the f***ing stage bro,” a third wrote.
Now, this has been part of Brown’s show for a while now, but another video has turned up from July that has people talking.
The video, another from the US tour, was shared in July and shows Brown singing a song while positioning a woman on an on-stage bed in front of him.
He then proceeds to mime sex with her, thrusting himself against her from behind.
The woman, for her part, seems pretty involved too.
Again, people were taken aback - you can check the clip out for yourself here.
"I'm shocked by those who subject themselves to this,” one person wrote.
Another asked: “What the f*** is this, who's paying to see some s*** like this?”
However, some aren’t so bothered.
One positive comment said: "Ignoring that it's that fool Chris Brown.
"Y'all are way too conservative, huh. It's just a performance ... She agreed to it.... People bought tickets ... Knowing there's this part 'cause he always does it…”
Another said: "Normal, they must have lined up when he asked some woman to come up.”
Since all of this has gone viral, many have pointed out the difference between these overly sexualized performances and those of - for example - an equivalent female artist such as Sabrina Carpenter.
Carpenter has attracted attention for a part of her show during the Short n’ Sweet tour whereby she adopted a very raunchy position during her song ‘Juno’.
Obviously, this has divided opinion.
The reactions to Usher and Chris Brown can often focus on it being ‘part of the show’
and women ‘queuing up’ to be a part of the act.
However, Sabrina Carpenter has been very vocal about the sexuality of her own concerts and songs.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, she said: "It’s always so funny to me when people complain,
"They’re like, ‘All she does is sing about this.’
"But those are the songs that you’ve made popular.
"Clearly you love sex. You’re obsessed with it. It’s in my show. "There’s so many more moments than the ‘Juno’ positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on.
"I can’t control that. If you come to the show, you’ll [also] hear the ballads, you’ll hear the more introspective numbers.
"I find irony and humor in all of that, because it seems to be a recurring theme.
"I’m not upset about it, other than I feel mad pressure to be funny sometimes."
Is it fair, is there an imbalance between what she is doing and the actions of Brown and Usher?
Or, do people simply need to let everyone get on with it?
A new, extended video has surfaced from Chris Brown’s recent concert at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, New York, and the footage is causing an even larger stir online.
The R&B artist is currently co-headlining The R&B Tour across North America alongside Usher, a 33-date tour scheduled to run from June to December.
While VT's earlier report focused on a brief clip of the onstage routine, the longer footage reveals a much more graphic performance that has left internet commentators stunned.
The initial discussion surrounding the tour involved an awkward interaction between Usher and a concertgoer named Gabrielle Cheyenne in Nashville, during which she appeared stiff.
Cheyenne later defended her response on social media, saying that she had attended the concert specifically to see Brown. She also noted that her energy would have been entirely different with him.
Following the weekend performance in Syracuse, it appears she was correct about the stark difference in the routines.
The newly released extended footage shows the full scope of what went down when Brown brought an eager female audience member onto the stage.
During a performance of his 2007 hit track, 'Take You Down,' the singer took his usual concert routine to an extreme level that many viewers are calling unprecedented for a live music venue.
In the original video, Brown can be seen holding the female fan up against a pole and tying her hands to it. The performer then proceeds to move the woman up and down the pole while thrusting toward her.
He follows this by kissing her neck, a moment that drew loud cheers from the stadium crowd as the woman smiled and audibly reacted to the physical contact.
The explicit nature of the videos has triggered a massive wave of criticism on social media, with thousands of users debating whether the routine crossed a line into inappropriate territory for a public concert.
The clips quickly accumulated millions of views on X, and the comment sections are filled with disbelief. Many onlookers are questioning how stadium security and tour producers permitted such a highly sexualized act to take place on a live stage.
One user wrote, "Is this normal dancing or f***ing on broad daylight?" while another remarked, "Concerts have turn into soft p*rn yoo."
The standard for what is acceptable at live music events is now being heavily questioned, with another individual asking, "So people pay to watch live action p*rnos?"
One particularly disgruntled viewer stated, "People are literally getting f***ed on the f***ing stage bro."
New footage has shed light on a viral concert moment involving Usher and a fan who was removed from the stage during a recent performance.
The incident occurred in Nashville during a stop on The R&B Tour, which the 47-year-old singer is co-headlining with Chris Brown. What was supposed to be a steamy, intimate routine quickly transformed into a tense interaction when the fan appeared visibly uncomfortable with the attention.
The newly released video shows the fan being escorted onto the stage for the planned serenade. Once she is seated, a shirtless Usher begins singing to her while sitting by her side.
As the performance heats up and becomes more physical, the woman appears stiff and offers only a tight smile. The R&B superstar tries to salvage the moment by lightly touching her chin and face, but when he attempts to guide her toward an onstage bed, she pulls back.
Recognizing the lack of chemistry, Usher stops the performance and addresses the crowd. The new footage captures the exact moment the singer realizes the interaction is failing, leading him to say: “I don't think she want to be on the stage.” He then tells the crowd, "I don't think she wanna be onstage, y'all," before completely stepping away and signaling for the fan to be removed.
The fan, identified as Gabrielle Cheyenne, quickly became the target of heavy online criticism after the moment went viral. Many internet users roasted her for her reserved reaction, arguing that she should have never agreed to go up if she did not want to participate. The intense feedback prompted Cheyenne to take to social media to defend her actions and clarify exactly what happened behind the scenes.
Cheyenne used her platform to fire back at critics who claimed she should have turned down the opportunity. She made it clear that she was happy to be seen by the crowd, even if she did not want to get overly physical with the singer.
"First off NOBODY is declining to go on stage," she wrote. "I looked good asf, you think I wasn’t going to let THOUSANDS of people see me?"
She explained that she and her mom originally had floor seats for the concert. Before the show began, Usher's team approached them and upgraded them to the VIP section due to what she described as "pretty privileges." However, the staff did not specify what her role would be later in the evening.
"They don’t say who you’re going up there for!" she wrote, pointing out that Chris Brown was also on the bill. She mocked the high expectations of the internet audience, adding, "Y’all wanted me to go up there and fk him atp?"
As the backlash continued into Sunday, Cheyenne posted a selfie with the caption "Unbothered 😘" to show she was not letting the comments ruin her experience. She also used her Instagram Stories to emphasize that her quiet demeanor should not be mistaken for a bad attitude.
"Y’all aren’t gonna get on the internet calling me out my name and disrespecting me and expect me to keep it cool!" she expressed. She added, "Don’t think that yall are gonna bully me about an experience that yall didn’t get!"
Cheyenne argued that her attitude only turns "nasty" when she is provoked by online strangers. While she acknowledges being a quiet person in real life, she made it clear that she has no regrets about how she handled the high-pressure situation. Ultimately, she was glad to take the spotlight, but she simply was not prepared to give Usher the highly sexualized reaction that his fan base expected.
