Chris Brown was a promising up-and-coming superstar making his anticipated debut in 2005 before becoming one of the greatest entertainers of our time. During the final show of his 11:11 tour, the award-winning singer teased a potential tour to commemorate the 20th anniversary of his self-titled debut album.
With his two daughters by his side, the “Under The Influence” hitmaker closed the show with a final bow, hinting at another show next year. “We love you guys, thank you for this opportunity,” said the 35-year-old singer. “We’ll see ya’’ll next year. Get home safe.”
Led by his debut single, “Run It,” Chris Brown released his self-titled debut on November 29, 2005 on Jive Records. The album featured Bow Wow, Lil Wayne, and Juelz Santana. Among the 18 tracks are classics such as “Yo (Excuse Me Miss),” “Gimme That,” “Poppoin’,” and “Say Goodbye.” The album debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 and earned the singer his first Grammy nomination.
The album is 3x platinum by the RIAA. Brown’s career includes 11 studio albums and referrals by the industry as this generation’s “King of R&B.” With vibrant visuals and fluid choreography, the 11:11 Tour felt like a culmination of Brown’s career over the past 20 years.
The 11:11 tour ends with Brown facing a 50 million dollar lawsuit following an alleged altercation in Fort Worth, Texas, last month. Court documents claim Brown and his entourage assaulted serval men backstage. Also named in the lawsuit was Texas recording artist Yella Beezy.
Brown made headlines this week following a selfie with Kehlanli that went viral due to their past animosity. Fans brought up Brown’s past comments concerning Kehlani’s depression in their reactions to the photo on social media.
The photo surfaces as Kehlani prepares for her upcoming “Crash” tour. Her tour kicks off this week in Minneapolis.
