Chris Brown Kicks Off His ’11:11′ Tour In Detroit
According to TMZ, Brown began his ’11:11′ tour in Detroit, Michigan, on Wednesday, June 5. The outlet notes that the singer’s first tour stop was at the Little Caesars Arena.
During his concert, Brown reportedly addressed the belief that he’d been “blackballed.” TMZ notes that Breezy’s first tour stop featured sold-out seats.
“For a n***a they say is blackballed, this don’t look blackballed to me!!!” he said. “I just wanna tell y’all how much we appreciate this s**t. We appreciate y’all buying tickets, we appreciate y’all coming and even watching videos — whatever the f**k it is, if you support me and you supported me through my career, we really — I really appreciate it.”

At one point in the production, Brown even humorously addressed his fans to let them know he has “a lot of f*****g songs.” However, he was trying to keep the concert to a maximum of two hours.

The outlet adds that in addition to the extensive set list, Brown didn’t cut corners with the production budget. The 35-year-old reportedly opened the concert with a Michael Jackson voiceover and wires that allowed him to soar over the crowd.

But perhaps the biggest surprise for fans was Breezy pullin’ out the rotating stage for a special performance of ‘Take You Down.’ Team Breezy fans would remember the stage from Brown’s previous performances of the song, which date back to the late 2000s.
Check out a snippet of Breezy’s performance below.

He sounds so good. I don't understand why they need to play a track with vocals and they sing over it. Wish they just sang live, purely

The Singer Recently Celebrated His Eldest Daughter’s Birthday

Royalty celebrated the milestone with a cowboy-themed birthday party, which brought the likes of many family and friends.
Brown even showed up to the event sporting his own cowboy ensemble.
