Good Ass Snub highlighted troubling news on X about Kanye West’s upcoming South Africa show. Only 6,000 tickets have been sold for a stadium that can hold 42,000. They included a screenshot pointing out how slow sales have been, calling attention to the surprisingly low numbers. Monyake insists everything is under control, yet insiders suggest the figures tell another story. For perspective, Chris Brown sold out FNB Stadium’s 90,000 seats in just hours, and even Ye’s 2012 performance saw golden circle tickets vanish in minutes.

The screenshot further claims that even the most devoted fans are hesitant, as the show’s messy money trail comes to light. Ticket sales risk slowing further. Ticketpro, the official seller, reassures buyers that all funds are securely held in trust and will be refunded if the event does not happen. CEO Brandon Duffield emphasized that money is safe, yet uncertainty casts a shadow, leaving the outcome in doubt. Meanwhile, Ye’s reported collaboration with Sean Leon remains another mystery waiting to be unveiled.
