Chris Brown is trending on social media after he revealed his performance at the 2022 American Music Awards (AMAs) was canceled for “reasons unknown.”
Breezy shared a video from his rehearsal where the set began with a sexy performance of his hit single, “Under The Influence.”
Then, it transitioned to an incredible tribute to Michael Jackson in honor of the 40th anniversary of his iconic album, Thriller.
Watch the video from Chris Brown’s rehearsal below.
In the comment section of the post, Breezy wrote, “WOULDVE been the ama performance but they cancelled me for reasons unknown. ??♂️”
Dancer Taylor Terry, who was the lead dancer in the “Under the Influence” video, shared her great disappointment over the AMAs pulling the rug from under Chris.
I’m sick to my stomach!!! I’m so so so sorry this happened Chris!
You were so excited! The whole team on and off the floor was excited!!! Never left a rehearsal without having chills!
To go to a rehearsal and be inspired every day in more ways than one is crazy!!!!!
So grateful to have been apart of this man!!! This video does us no justice! Sending you love ??❤️
Taylor wasn’t the only one upset about the AMAs canceling Chris Brown’s performance.
One person tweeted, “To make Chris Brown believe he is performing at the AMAs and to take him out without a heads up after he’s put all that time & money into rehearsals is sad. The worst part is he was paying tribute to his IDOL, Michael Jackson & you guys crushed him like that. Smh.”

- As previously announced, the show will honor 17-time AMA winner Lionel Richie with the prestigious Icon Award. As part of this honor, two-time AMA winner Stevie Wonder and two-time AMA nominee Charlie Puth will take the stage to perform a medley of Richie’s hit songs. During the performance, singer/songwriter Ari Lennox will also join the pair for a special tribute to Richie’s monumental musical career.
- AMA award-winner David Guetta and two-time nominee Bebe Rexha will make their U.S. television performance debut of global smash hit “I’m Good (Blue).” After its release, “I’m Good (Blue)” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart in September.
