Chris Brown shared with his 124 million followers on Instagram that his AMA appearance was cancelled for "reasons unknown."
According to Puck, an online news outlet, Breezy's performance was shelved as ABC executives weren't keen on "the prospect of a convicted domestic abuser feting an alleged child molester on a Disney network."
Reports claimed that once the executives found out about the performance, they immediately pulled the tribute.

However, Disney was still okay with Breezy performing, but not doing the tribute to MJ celebrating 40 years of thriller as it could be too "radioactive", and the reception may not have been well taken.
Upon hearing on the cancellation, Brown posted a video of himself rehearsing for the tribute on social media, with the caption "U SERIOUS?" with a facepalm emoji.
Singer Ciara was also meant to be involved in the tribute, but this was also cancelled.

Others said to Chris: "The AMA’s doesn’t deserve this performance! Thank you so much Chris."
The AMA's are yet to comment on the cancelled performance.
