They also met Brown and Usher backstage, who both shared photos with the BTS members on Instagram.

The visit has caused split reactions among BTS fans, many of whom are criticizing the members for attending the shows given Brown’s history of legal issues, notably his infamous 2008 felony arrest for assaulting Rihanna.

“That’s disappointing,” reads one comment with over 7,000 likes, while another user voiced their disbelief that J-Hope and RM attended the show, garnering over 3,000 likes.

Recently, the R&B Tour was almost in jeopardy after Brown was arrested in London, England in May in connection to a 2023 bottle throwing incident.

While he was initially denied bail until his June 13 hearing, he was released early in May and later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of affray in July.

Brown has also recently tried to stop a bid to prevent his former housekeeper Maria Avila from using the revenue from this current tour to settle a $13 million judgement that she won after being violently attacked by the singer’s dog.

On Friday, Brown filed a new notice asking for the case to be retried, arguing that a mention of his 2008 felony unfairly influenced the “excessive” $13 million verdict After getting a quick taste of Toronto’s energy, BTS are gearing up to make their grand return to the Canadian stage for the first time in almost a decade, playing two nights at Rogers Stadium on Aug.
