Chris Brown and Usher’s Atlanta shows have had the timeline talking all week. Fans are picking apart the tiniest details, right down to the wardrobe.
On night three of the five-show run (Nov. 8), Breezy wore a bedazzled Deion Sanders Falcons jersey to close out his set.
This sent fans into investigation mode, as Sanders is currently dating the R&B singer’s ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran.
Sanders and Tran made their relationship public last year. The actress appeared in social media videos shared by the coach’s son, Deion Sanders Jr.
The couple has also faced some serious health challenges together. Tran stood by Sanders as he underwent surgery to have his bladder removed following a cancer diagnosis.
The Hall of Famer previously said he told Tran he would understand if she chose to walk away because of his health struggles, but she stayed by his side.
Brown and Tran went public with their relationship in 2011 and had several public ups and downs.
The stint included a brief split in October 2012 before they reunited in 2013. They continued dating into 2014, but Brown’s decision to enter rehab and allegations of infidelity strained the connection.
In March 2015, Tran officially ended the relationship after reports surfaced that Brown had fathered a child, Royalty, with Nia Guzman. At the time, the child was reportedly 9 months old.
The fallout continued in 2017 when Tran filed for a restraining order against Brown.
Following their split, Brown made several public attempts to win Tran back. In February 2016, he released “Back To Sleep (Remix),” in which he called out his ex by name.
“Baby don’t test me. You know I’ll do it. You want me to say your name, girl? Karrueche!”
Given their history, some fans interpreted Brown’s jersey choice as a possible jab at Sanders’ relationship with Tran. Others believe the singer was simply paying homage to Atlanta.
One person commented, “OMG,” while another said, “Boyyy, when a Taurus loves you, they really do love you forever.”
Another had a different perspective on the matter, “I don’t think it was of any shade, ’cause, like they said, he wore Vic’s too; why everything gotta be messy?”
NFL legend Deion “Prime Time” Sanders stepped into the chat to share his thoughts on the situation.
“Love it, respect him, and I’m thankful I’m still thought about as a Falcon. God bless it,” he expressed to The Shade Room.
Given Sanders’ history with Atlanta, Chris Brown paying tribute to the football legend during his performance makes sense.
The Falcons selected Sanders fifth overall in the 1989 NFL draft, marking the start of his first five NFL seasons with the team.
During that time, he earned three Pro Bowl starting selections and became the first Falcons player to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated. He also played outfield with the Atlanta Braves during that period as one of the very few two-sport athletes at the pro level.
Brown has made a habit of bringing out customized, memorable jerseys throughout the tour. He’s also rocked a Michael Vick Falcons jersey, a Charles Woodson Oakland Raiders jersey, a custom Warren Moon Houston Oilers jersey, and a Troy Aikman Dallas Cowboys jersey, but who’s counting?
As for the Deion Sanders jersey, we won’t know if there was any shade behind the allegations until the “BROWN” singer enters the chat. For now, let’s assume it’s all love.
Chris Brown sparked a major internet debate when he performed in Atlanta wearing a custom, bedazzled No. 21 Atlanta Falcons jersey, which is the legendary number of Deion "Prime Time" Sanders. As Sanders is currently dating Chris’s ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, social media immediately split over Chris’s true intentions. Fans debate if it was pure shade aimed at his ex’s new partner, others says he is simply paying homage to Atlanta sports icons. Deion Sanders reportedly said he loved and respected the gesture, adding that he was just thankful to still be thought of as a Falcon. Subscribe To My YouTube: Evener Entertainment
