Chris Brown has warned fans not to wear red bandanas to his live shows ahead of his 2025 ‘Breezy Bowl XX’ tour kicking off this summer.
The R&B singer is set to celebrate his 20th anniversary by hitting the road in the UK, Europe and North America in 2025. He’ll be joined at the dates by Summer Walker (North America only), Bryson Tiller and Jhené Aiko.
In a recent post on Instagram Stories, Brown shared a statement about the concerns he had over what some fans were planning to wear to the upcoming concerts.
“I see a lot of the fans collectively telling team breezy to wear red bandannas to the concert,” he wrote (via Complex). “I would highly advise yall to NOT do that! 🤣!”
Offering an alternative, Brown suggested: “Just get brown bandannas so yall won’t run into any problems. I don’t want people to get the wrong impression and promote the wrong thing!
“YALL KNOW IM BRIS BREEZY but WE PROMOTING POSITIVITY ON THIS TOUR! Thank you And I love yall.”
Brown did not elaborate on the potential risks involved in donning a red bandana. However, it has been noted that members of the Bloods gang often wear the accessory to symbolise their involvement.
The vocalist has been associated with the gang previously, with some fans choosing to wear red bandanas to express their support.

According to Hot New Hip Hop, the red bandana has long been associated with gang affiliations in numerous cities. The outlet told fans that Brown’s statement was a serious warning, despite his playful tone in the message.
The update arrived shortly after Brown announced some additional North American dates for his 2025 ‘Breezy Bowl XX’ headline tour.
This summer’s UK leg will feature two huge concerts at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on June 21 and 22.
He’ll also take to the stage at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, Manchester’s Co-op Live arena, Birmingham’s Villa Park, Glasgow’s Hampden Park National Stadium, and Dublin’s Marlay Park.
When announcing the 20th anniversary trek, Brown wrote: “So excited to be able to share this moment with the world and my amazing fans. I can’t wait to see all y’all’s beautiful faces. I’mma take y’all through these eras, but most importantly give y’all my heart and soul.”
Earlier this year, Brown sued Warner Bros. for $500million (£390million) following allegations of sexual assault put forward in a recent documentary.
