Chris Brown has social media talking after wearing a custom Atlanta Falcons jersey during his joint Atlanta concert with Usher, but it was Deion Sanders' reaction that really caught fans' attention!
During the third night of the R&B Tour at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on November 8, Brown hit the stage wearing a bedazzled No. 21 Falcons jersey, the same number made famous by NFL legend Deion "Prime Time" Sanders.
While the jersey appeared to be a tribute to Atlanta's sports history, some fans immediately began questioning whether Brown was sending a message to Sanders.
Why? Because Sanders is currently dating Brown's former girlfriend, actress and model Karrueche Tran.
Brown and Tran previously had a highly publicized relationship, and their history quickly became part of the conversation surrounding his wardrobe choice.
Some social media users speculated that Brown was throwing shade at Sanders, while others believed the singer was simply celebrating Atlanta and one of its most legendary athletes.
However, Sanders didn't appear bothered by the situation.
When The Shade Room reached out for his reaction, Sanders expressed appreciation for the tribute, saying he loved and respected the gesture and was thankful people still remembered his time with the Falcons.
His response quickly gained attention, with fans praising the NFL Hall of Famer for keeping things positive instead of entertaining rumors of a feud.
It's also worth noting that Brown has worn jerseys honoring other football legends throughout the tour, including former Falcons quarterback Michael Vick.
Sanders, who played for the Atlanta Falcons from 1989 to 1993, remains one of the franchise's most recognizable former players.
Although Brown has not publicly explained the significance of his jersey selection, Sanders' reaction suggests he isn't interested in turning the moment into a rivalry.
Do you think Chris Brown was being petty, or was he simply showing love to an Atlanta football legend?
