Brown will be taking centre stage tonight for the second phase of the concert currently trending on various social media platforms.
The singer first announced in October that he was coming to Johannesburg for the show, exciting fans and sparking a heated debate among women activists and civil rights organizations. One South African Women’s Rights Organization petitioned to cancel the event, accusing the singer of being an assault.
The second leg of the concert tonight promises to be more thrilling and exciting following the buzz the first phase has created. Brown’s display at FNB Stadium is a testament to his global stardom and audience appeal.
