It CLEARLY was bogus. But that didn't stop websites from running with it. Let's watch them run with the truth. Yeah right!
Recently, a conspicuous rumour went viral surrounding an appearance Brandy did in South Africa. Reports in regards to Brandy giving a concert at a stadium in S.A. that seats 90,000, with only 40 people showing up.
Clearing up the rumours, The YBF spoke exclusively with Brandy's rep':
She was booked at the last minute to fly to South Africa to support a "cause"--not a concert. It was a cause that honored "Mr. Nelson Mandela" and there was other performers on the bill besides Brandy. She attended because she wanted to support the foundation and Mr. Mandela...a man who has changed history. This whole story has been blown out of proportion.
The post also says that her rep' stressed that this will be the first and last time Brandy will ever address the online reports. It's hilarious that these sites actually pulled random tweets to support their stories. Come on people! Do better!
UPDATE!!!
The reps further tell The YBF that Brandy--as well as all the others on the bill--was only scheduled to do two songs. The story of her leaving in the middle of the set after two songs because she was upset, is untrue. We're also told that Brandy was not originally scheduled to attend, but she made the decision to come when asked because she simply was eager to honor Nelson Mandela.
The audience AND the South African media were unaware she was even there, so many left the venue before she came on as the closing act. She was not the headliner and was not solely there to perform. And Brandy says she would do it again as this was not about her, but only about giving back to Mandela's cause. We're told, "Even if it was 50 people there, she would have still participated."
