American rapper Quavo performed for a mere handful of fans at a recent concert, sparking a wild conspiracy theory that his music rival was responsible for the poor turnout.
The former member of the massive hip-hop group Migos also has a slew of solo hits, but it seems that wasn’t enough to coax punters out to a headlining show at Hartford Healthcare Ampitheater in Bridgeport, Connecticut over the weekend.
The venue has an audience capacity of more than 5,700, but in footage from the show, it seemed an audience of barely more than a few hundred had turned up to see the rapper.
Those who did front up crowded together at the front of the stage, with the rest of the venue virtually empty.
So what happened? In the absence of an actual explanation, a far-fetched rumour has circulated on social media that Quavo’s rival Chris Brown had bought up all the tickets to the show, leaving the star to think he’d be stepping on stage to a huge crowd.
