Brandy performs in South Africa (Getty Images)In retrospect, it seems like someone should have said something sooner.
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. Oh, and reportedly, the lights were on (which was
probably one of the reasons guests thought this shindig was done).
"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."
To be honest, we can't really
blame her. And while we're fairly certain Brandy won't be running back
to perform in South Africa again anytime soon, we also have a hunch that
next time she does, people will know about it.
