R&B singer Brandy cut short a gig in South Africa on Saturday after she was left playing to an empty stadium.
The star had been booked to appear at the First National Bank (FNB) Stadium in Johannesburg as part of the celebrations of Nelson Mandela Sport and Culture Day, which included soccer and rugby games as well as live music.
However, Brandy was left playing to a tiny crowd of around 40 people in the 90,000-capacity arena after taking to the stage at the end of the event, and she reportedly performed just two songs before walking off.
Reports suggest Brandy’s set was not properly advertized.
South African singer Kabomo, who was at the stadium, described the incident in a series of posts on his Twitter.com page, writing, “I have no words for what I just witnessed... Brandy performed to an empty stadium. With the stadium lights on. She sulked after two songs and walked off... It was late. People didn’t know there was a concert after the games. No one knew Brandy was around. Maybe a 40 people audience (sic)... There are more people there on a random Tuesday... Depressing.”
Yet these people are called SUPERSTARS!
LOL! What a joke.
Who is ‘Brandy’?
That left 89,960 seats available. I’m surprised that the Wookie didn’t show up maybe that would have helped. Brandi is a Usurper and Wookie supporter. I guess you can’t rely on friends like that.
If she was sitting next to me at a restaurant, I would never know.
That is a SUPERSTAR for you!
Those 40 were probably there to break down the stage.
On the other hand Rodriguez, unknown in his native US, is a superstar in South Africa.
LOL!

I feel sorry that they seemed to have screwed up and didn’t publicize the event. However, A true performer like Sammy Davis Jr. or Prince would have played for the 40 and brought the house down.
She got paid for this event, right? Then why is she complaining? Her fall from the pedestal is going to be brutal.
I’ll bet she called it a day, went back to her hotel, and had a shot of Brandy after that!
Its not you.
Its the 89,960 of us.
We can still be friends.
Poor Brandy, even Sandra Fluke had more idiots come and see her and she’s a total whore
She would’ve been applauded for that.
I don't know either. At least she got 39 more people than obama did for his Obamacare meeting.
So I guess the people in Johannesburg have musical taste unlike here.
Oh yeah, I remember that. She’s still around?
