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."

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.
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.
A video of Chris Brown throwing a fan's phone into the crowd during a concert has recently gone viral - and let's just say neither the victim nor the singer were impressed.
The incident occurred during a CB concert in Berlin on Wednesday.
A lucky fan was picked to go up on stage and experience a lap dance by the man himself - a seemingly highly-anticipated segment of his recent shows - when her phone was grabbed out of her hand and flung into a sea of screaming fans.
In the video, you can clearly see the woman pull out her device to film herself on stage, but within seconds of the 33-year-old performer noticing, he walks over and grabs it before taking a leap into the air and literally hurling it away.
Big yikes.
Weirdly enough, the performance continued on, with the background dancers still gyrating their hips to the music as the girl stared helplessly out into the crowd in an attempt to see where her phone has landed before the lights go dark and the video cuts off.
Watch the shocking moment below:Upon seeing the 10-second clip, fans took to the comments to discuss what had happened.
Some agreed with the singer's decision, stating that they would do the "same" thing.
However, others were less than impressed, with some users even branding the 'With You' singer as "rude."
A few even pointed out that he must have been inspired by Bad Bunny, who received backlash in early January for throwing a fan's phone into the sea after she tried to get a video with him.
As per the Daily Mail, despite having her expensive phone thrown away, another fan shared a TikTok showing the woman being able to track down the device at the end of the concert.
The news comes shortly after the 33-year-old hit out at other fans for continually bringing up his 2009 assault against former girlfriend Rihanna.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Brown claimed that he couldn't get the second chance that he believed so many other celebrities had been given.
"If yall still hate me for a mistake I made as a 17 year old please kiss my whole entire a**!
"I'm f****** 33! I'm so tired of yall running wit this narrative... You weird a** n***** are the same ones that tune in every week to see Blueface and Chrisean beat the f*** out each other in front the world," the singer continued. "But thats OK? It's entertainment? All yall can suck my d*** disrespectfully."
And he didn't stop there.
"Where are the cancel culture with these white artist that date underage women, beat the f*** out their wives, giving b****** AIDS," he added. "Oh. That's right.. they are your buddies. No more fake love from me.. Stay out my way or get ran over simple as that!
"None of you and I mean none of you n***** can f*** witt me," he concluded.
An onstage serenade by Usher took an unexpected turn in Nashville during a stop on The R&B Tour, which he is co-headlining with Chris Brown.
The 47-year-old singer pulled a fan from the audience onto the stage for what was supposed to be a steamy, intimate performance. However, the interaction quickly became incredibly awkward as the woman appeared visibly uncomfortable with the attention.
As a shirtless Usher began singing to the fan, identified as Gabrielle Cheyenne, she sat stiffly and offered only a tight smile. The R&B superstar tried to salvage the moment by lightly touching her chin and face, but when he attempted to guide her toward an onstage bed, she pulled back.
Recognizing the lack of chemistry, Usher backed off and addressed the crowd. "I don't think she want to be on the stage, huh?" he asked the audience. He then told the crowd, "I don't think she wanna be onstage, y'all," before completely stepping away and signaling for her to be removed from the stage.
The moment quickly went viral, prompting heavy online criticism from fans who believed she wasted a rare opportunity. Many 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 negative feedback prompted Cheyenne to take to social media to defend herself and clarify what happened.
Cheyenne used her platform to fire back at the critics who claimed she should have turned down the opportunity. She made it clear that she was more than happy to be seen by the crowd, even if she did not want to get overly physical with the singer.

Chris Brown has been criticized for grabbing a fan's neck on stage while giving her one of his famous lap dances.
The 33-year-old R&B crooner - who is currently on the UK and Europe leg of his Under the Influence worldwide tour - had been performing a medley of his greatest hits on stage in Manchester this week.
As has become his trademark, the 'Run It' singer plucked an attractive young woman from the audience to come to the stage, before performing a lapdance as she sat on a chair in front of the audience.
The woman - who turned out to be 23-year-old former Love Island contestant Natalia Zoppa - was serenaded by Brown, who grinded on her while singing 'Take You Down', from his 2007 album Exclusive. In one moment, he appeared to grab the influencer by her neck - and many fans felt uncomfortable at the move.
A video of the dance has since been uploaded to TikTok by a user with the handle @rikiekelly, where it quickly received 2.5 million views and close to 100,000 likes.
Many users took to the video's comments section, however, to share their opinions on the singer, who has had a troubled past marked by legal issues and cheating scandals. "I tried this the other day. Court hearing is next week," one person quipped.
"Do they know his history," another person said, evidently referring to an incident that saw him physically assault Rihanna following a pre-Grammys event in February 2009. It tarnished his whole reputation after the 'Umbrella' singer was left hospitalized from her injuries. At the time, Brown was sentenced to 1,400 hours community service and five years probation.
Rihanna was also granted a restraining order against him, but that was eventually dropped after the pair rekindled their romance in 2013. They broke it off again after Brown allegedly cheated on Rihanna with his former flame Karrueche Tran - who also ended up getting a restraining order against him after she testified in court that he had abused her.
Another comment read: "Isn't he the one who used to beat up Rihanna?"
Someone else noted that Zoppa looked as if she was trying to remove Brown's hand from her throat, saying: "you can see how she is trying to get his hand [off her] throat!!!!!!! [sic]"
"He's not got a good track record," a further user added, "why do they always grind on the girls [...] personal space is a thing!"
"Bruh be careful, how was he even allowed entry to UK [considering] his criminal record," someone else said.
Brown - who is a father to two daughters and a son - has spoken out publicly about his violent and abusive past, revealing in a 2017 documentary that the images that were leaked of Rihanna's injuries have haunted him. "I look back at that picture and I'm just like: that's not me. I hate it to this day - that's going to haunt me forever," he said via The Guardian.
Shortly after the assault in 2009, Rihanna spoke to 20/20 about the terrifying ordeal, stating that Brown - then 19 - had threatened to kill her, "all I kept thinking was, 'When is it going to stop?'" She then added: "The more in love we became, the more dangerous we became for each other, equally as dangerous."
