Gabrielle Cheyenne doubled down online after saying she went to Usher’s Nashville show for Chris Brown, not him.
Usher, 47, brought Gabrielle Cheyenne, 24, a nurse from Chattanooga, onto the stage during Saturday’s Nashville stop on the joint R&B Tour with Chris Brown, 37.
The Facebook post came after the clip spread fast and drew criticism from people piling on from her own city.
“First off NOBODY is declining to go on stage. I looked good asf, you thought I wasn’t gonna let THOUSANDS of people see me?” she wrote on Facebook.
Cheyenne said she and her mother had been shifted from floor seats to VIP before the show even started.
“My mom and I had FLOOR SEATS. Their team approached us and moved us to VIP before the show even started!! PRETTY PRIVILEGES something you hoes will never know about!!” she wrote.
She also said nobody told her who would be waiting once she got upstairs.
“They don’t say who you’re going up there for!! Y’all wanted me to get up there and f–k him atp?? CHATT FOLKS AREN’T USED TO ANYTHING.”
On Instagram, Cheyenne said the blast was really aimed at people in Chattanooga.
“Hence why it says CHATT FOLKS AREN’T USED TO ANYTHING.”
She followed with a second Story about why she snapped back.
“My attitude isn’t ‘nasty’ until I’m provoked! Y’all aren’t gonna get on the internet calling me out my name and disrespecting me and expect me to keep it cool!”
Her mother also jumped into the fray with a photo of Cheyenne beside Usher’s wife.
“Usher’s WIFE & Gabrielle Cheyenne AFTER THE STAGE APPEARANCE!! YA’LL!! SHE AIN’T MAD SO Y TF YA’LL MAD!?HOW TF YA’LL MAD!?” she captioned it.
During a Facebook Live, Cheyenne said the moment felt like a one-time chance.
“It was literally a once in a lifetime opportunity. That’s not something that you can just wake up and do every day.”
In the viral moment, Usher pulled her from the crowd for his “Can U Handle It?” routine and set her on a bed onstage.
He leaned back when her reaction stayed stiff, then told the crowd, “I don’t think she wanna be on the stage, huh?”
Stage staff then escorted her away as the clip ricocheted across social media and kept the debate rolling.
The R&B Tour continues Tuesday in Birmingham, Alabama.
