Brandy was secretly slated to be the
surprise grand finale at the Nelson
Mandela Sports and Culture Day, but
since fans had no idea, almost all of
them had left the building by the
time she stepped on stage.
To put it in perspective, the FNB
stadium in Soweto, South Africa, holds
90,000 guests and had been packed the
entire day. When Brandy came out for
her big moment, however, only 40
people remained.
"Brandy performed to an empty
stadium. With the stadium lights on,"
local musician Kabomo tweeted.
Other event-goers shared Kabomo's
shock. Twitter user Crazy Girl Tutu (how
we love that name), shared, "I gave up
the min I saw the empty stadium.
Brandy performing for the chairs!"
But Dawn Ngwenya thought Brandy had
at least one fan left, tweeting, "Well
Brandy is going to perform for herself
and Mbaks only. Stadium now empty."
Mbacks refers to Fikile Mbacks, South
Africa's minister of sport, who likely had
advance warning that the star would be
showing up.
Faced with an empty stadium awash in
light, Brandy didn't stick around long
either. "People didn't know there was a
concert after the games. No one knew
Brandy was around. Maybe a 40 people
audience," Kabomo shared on the social
media site. "She sulked after two songs
and walked off."
