Chris Brown has once again gone viral for his on-stage antics with women, and this has been described as his 'freakiest' incident yet.
Brown has been on tour with Usher, who has also been in the news recently, and their tour show is certainly attracting some attention.
The pair of R&B singers are out on a tour at the moment - also called R&B - and have been generating column inches because of their live performances.
First, Brown invited a woman on stage before getting into a sensual dance routine with her, then Usher invited another woman on stage at another show and she looked very awkward.
That led to a back-and-forth between all parties, the singer and the woman herself, leading to her eventual admission that she was actually there for Chris Brown.
This all culminated the other day with the frankly bizarre claim that Usher was actually using a clone for one of his performances.
The internet can be a strange place at times.
For his part, Chris Brown has always drawn controversy - not including his criminal past - but his live shows have always walked the line of public decency as well.
This time, people have accused the singer of once again going too far.
In the latest piece of viral footage, this time from Toronto, Brown can once again be seen on a bed with a woman, perhaps from the crowd and perhaps a dancer, grinding against her from behind while performing a song.
He’s even got a grip of the woman’s hair at one stage, and performs thrusting movements towards her.
The crowd can be heard yelling as he performs the incredibly risque dance with the woman, who we have to hope is getting paid well for her time.
Here's the clip:
Some people were shocked, as one person wrote: "This Chris Brown and Usher tour is getting freakier each show. Chris in Toronto beating it up.
"He pulling hair and smacking ass. THIS TOUR IS WILD.”
Another person commented: "So in other words performing isn’t making the money anymore that they gotta do this lol okay.”
A third said: "This is disgusting. Pay to go to a hooker show.”
Yet another comment said: "Are ticket sales low or something? Not sure why he feels the need to take it this far.”
Of course, not everyone thinks that this has gone too far - some have noted that it is simply a part of every show they do nowadays, and that everyone who came along - including the women themselves - presumably knows that this is part of the schtick.
"That dancer is having the best time of her life,” said one person.
In the end, so long as everyone is a willing and consenting participant, you have to concede that it’s fine.
Whether it makes for a great concert experience or not is another question altogether.

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 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.
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.
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.

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."
It's been a busy few weeks for R&B star Usher, and he has now responded to claims that he used a "clone" at one of his recent shows.
The US artist has been on tour with Chris Brown across North America, with the pair managing to make headlines.
Just two months into their 33-date tour, Usher has caused controversy after bringing a female audience member up on stage in July 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 refused to join him on an onstage bed then later claimed on social media that she only went to see Brown.
But now, Usher has received some criticism, as many believed that he sent a clone to perform in his place during a show in New York.
Fans were accusing the "Yeah!" artist of getting a lookalike to perform on the Raymond & Brown Tour with Chris Brown, but he quickly shot these rumors down.
Users had pointed out that the singer's face is hidden behind a hat and sunglasses in these clips, resulting in accusations of an Usher lookalike performing on stage instead of the real deal.
Usher took to Instagram on Sunday (August 9), commenting on a video shared to the official R&B Tour account, with the post including a video of him performing.
Alongside it was a screenshot of Instagram comments he made, speaking about the clone allegations.
He started his first comment with a laughing emoji, before adding: “Ya’ll are funny…clone? They can’t clone this??”
“How ya’ll come up with this?” he asked in a different comment, adding more laughing emojis before pointing out in jest: “AI ain’t that advanced.”
Questions started to be raised after footage of Usher performing at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium on Friday went viral, as many believed that the singer looked different in several clips.
The claims started to circulate online earlier this month, despite Usher and Brown starting their tour in June, with it set to run until December.
One viral X post read: “Usher you can’t fool New York that’s not you bro i want my money back.”
Another penned: “Usher, why’d you have to play us all like that last night??”
Other users said that he had "sent out his doppelganger," but one particular viral TikTok called the man on stage “a very bad” likeness.
They went on: “I have to say that these people do not look the same in my opinion, at all,” speaking while the viral footage is showing in the background.
