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!"
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."

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.
