Concerts and Tours

North West has pulled the plug on two of her upcoming tour dates, days before she was scheduled to hit the stage, TMZ has learned.

North was all set to hit the stage for her first performance on August 5 with rapper Molly Santana in Dallas, Texas. But, according to Ticketmaster, the show is now canceled along with their August 17 concert in Toronto, Canada.

Not only that, but the official website promoting the artists' "Kimokawaii" tour has apparently been scrubbed from the Internet. The only good news is that their August 25 show at San Francisco's "The Midway" is still listed on the venue's site ... for now.

Karol G got way too much love from one of her fans, who had to be pulled off her and physically restrained during a recent concert in Canada ... and the terrifying interaction is on video.

Footage posted on TikTok shows Karol performing at Rogers Stadium in Toronto on July 29, when all of a sudden a fan hops onstage and grabs the Grammy Award-winning singer. 

As you can see, the fan is holding Karol's hand while she's belting out one of her tunes. The fan then moves in close and gets right up in Karol's grill while dancing with her.

He even lunges for her microphone.

Usher's getting the last laugh after a fan snubbed him on stage ... seemingly taking a swipe at her cold fish act, while getting a new audience member who was ready and willing.

Check out the video ... the superstar told the crowd Tuesday night in Birmingham that if they didn't want to be on stage for a sexy serenade, don't come up there ... a clear reference to the fan in Nashville who was not down for his bump-and-grind routine.

As we reported ... the woman who refused to play along with Usher is Gabrielle Cheyenne, and she joined us Monday on "TMZ Live" to confess she was at the show for co-headliner Chris Brown ... not Usher.

Nicki Minaj's hotel bills, including her mini bar purchases, were revealed as part of her legal battle over an alleged six-figure debt ... and it looks like she has a sweet tooth.

24/7 Productions submitted several hotel invoices from stays where the entertainer used the name Tori Spaulding, claiming they footed the bill for Nicki's lodging without being reimbursed. 

The production company provided live-event services for Nicki in 2023 … for the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball and the New York promotional week preceding the release of her "Pink Friday 2" album.

24/7 advanced $250K for Nicki's bill, including $125K in personal expenses alone. The company said Nicki and her team agreed to reimburse all expenses. 

Chris Brown had a fan take full command during a risqué performance ... and the moment just had to make Usher jealous AF after his attempt to woo someone on this same stage was a total dud.

Chris was performing in Nashville over the weekend on his tour with Usher when he brought a woman on stage for a song ... she's on a pole, straddling him as they dry hump. You can cut the sexual tension with a knife.

It's a pretty intense moment ... and kinda hilarious when compared to Usher kicking a lady off the same stage after she clearly wasn't feeling his steamy serenade.

Gabrielle Cheyenne -- the woman who Usher kicked off stage after she wasn't feeling his steamy serenade -- has a confession ... she was at the show for Chris Brown ... and her reaction would have been totally different if Breezy brought her on stage.

Gabrielle joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and we asked her why she wasn't feeling Usher.

Usher and Chris are touring together, and Gabrielle says she's more loyal to Breezy than Ush ... so much so, her reaction would have been way different if it was Chris who called her up on stage.

Usher's steamy serenade hit a cold note in Nashville ... prompting the R&B superstar to pull the plug after a woman onstage appeared less than thrilled by his up-close moves.

Video from Saturday night's show captures a shirtless Usher leaning over the seated fan and trying to turn up the heat -- but her reserved reaction quickly catches his attention.

Moments later, he backs off and tells the crowd, "I don't think she wanna be onstage, y'all," bringing the intimate encounter to an abrupt end.

Chris Brown's former housekeeper Maria Avila is on the hunt for the nearly $13 million she is owed for the vicious dog attack at the R&B singer's home ... and she wants to get her paws on the money he's making from his tour with Usher ... TMZ has learned. 

In court docs obtained by TMZ, Maria said Chris has "made no effort to satisfy any portion of the judgment." She now wants the court to give her full access to Chris' financial records so she can seize what she's owed.

Maria points out that Chris is currently on tour with Usher for The R&B Tour, which she says he is being paid handsomely. 

Kacey Musgraves is making a slight change to her tour schedule ... abruptly canceling three upcoming shows, but TMZ has learned this shift shouldn't cause any concern to fans.

We're told the three dates that got nixed from her "Middle of Nowhere" North American tour were actually added after the original tour schedule was set. The decision was made to revert back to the initial plan with the tour kicking off on August 21 -- which actually falls on Kacey's birthday.

The canceled dates sparked questions among fans after the announcement, but we're told the move was strictly a scheduling decision and not related to any personal or medical issue.

If you didn't already know that Jay-Z and Beyoncé are huge fans of Lauryn Hill, then you certainly will now.

Check out this video, obtained by TMZ ... which shows Jay and Bey eating up every moment of Lauryn's performance Saturday night at The Club House in East Hampton, New York.

We're told Jay and Bey couldn't stop dancing their butts off to Lauryn's live music -- while sipping a few drinks and having a great ol' time.

Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds nearly took a nasty tumble ... almost wiping out while sprinting through the crowd during the band's performance ... and it's all on video.

The singer was performing shirtless Thursday night at Yaamava' Resort & Casino's 40th anniversary celebration in Highland, CA ... when he suddenly hopped off the stage and took off running into the crowd.

Dan appeared to lose his footing in the aisle, stumbling forward and coming within inches of bowling over an usher before catching himself at the last second.

Talk about piss-poor concert etiquette ... a man allegedly whipped out his penis and pissed all over a family during Morgan Wallen's Baltimore show ... and now police are investigating.

Troy Grevelding tells TMZ ... he was at Saturday's concert at M&T Bank Stadium with his wife, brother and 8-year-old niece when a man directly behind them began urinating ... splashing Troy, his family and another nearby group.

Troy says he and his wife could feel the stream run down their legs ... and when he turned around, he claims the guy still had his junk out.

Event security booted the man ... but Troy says the first Maryland State Police trooper to respond stated cops couldn't arrest him because the trooper hadn't witnessed the alleged incident.

Ariana Grande's rekindled romance with Ricky Alvarez is getting a big thumbs-up from her brother Frankie ... or, in Ricky's case, a few pats on the head.

Ricky joined Frankie in the crowd Sunday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn for Ariana's "Eternal Sunshine Tour" ... where the two danced together as Ari performed "Warm."

Check out the video ... Frankie gets especially affectionate at one point, reaching over and repeatedly patting Ricky's head while they groove to the music.

Ricky Alvarez was front and center supporting girlfriend Ariana Grande over the weekend ... showing up at her concert and looking like he knew every word.

Check out the video ... Ricky is seen dancing and singing along to Ariana's song "Imperfect for You," smiling as she performs for the packed crowd Saturday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

His appearance comes after TMZ revealed Ariana and Ricky have rekindled their romance following her split from Ethan Slater.

Usher's serving up some hot cakes during his tour with fellow R&B star Chris Brown ... exposing his bare butt to fans during a sensual number ... and it's on video.

The pop star is currently touring the country with Breezy ... and during a recent performance in Maryland, he stood up from a bed on stage and exposed his buck naked bottom.

Usher flashed some serious booty while performing "Seduction" ... he was simulating sex with a woman and he got out of bed while buttoning his pants.

Damon Dash isn't giving Jay-Z's Yankee Stadium victory lap a standing ovation ... saying the three-night spectacle looked less like a celebration and more like a carefully crafted marketing ploy.

Dame unloaded on "The Art of Dialogue," picking apart Hov's anniversary shows from a business perspective rather than a musical one. Instead of praising the performances, he questioned why the concerts happened for the 30th anniversary of "Reasonable Doubt" ... arguing the entire production felt designed to push Yankees-branded merch.

According to Dame, all the Yankees logos, jerseys and merch made the concerts feel less like a celebration and more like an ad campaign ... suggesting the music took a back seat to selling product.
