Chris Brown took his show on the road and hit the Philippines to perform on Tuesday night, but now the star singer is being barred from leaving the country.

Breezy was preparing to leave the country, to fly to Hong Kong via private jet from an airport in Manila, when he was stopped by authorities, according to a report on CNN.com on Wednesday (July 22).

The Philippine Department of Justice said that an order had been issued to stop Brown from leaving, stemming from an old contract dispute. Promoters claim that the singer owes money after he failed to make a scheduled appearance last New Year's Eve.

Both Brown and his promoter John Michael Pio Roda were subject to an immigration lookout bulletin, but could leave if the Department of Justice gave consent.
