Following the WhatsApp messages announcing the cancellation, disappointed fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) to express their frustration. One user wrote, “It’s disappointing — organisers always announce cancellations too close to the event, and audiences are losing interest.” Another commented, “The planning was poor from the start; this outcome was inevitable. I figured he’d end up performing for a small crowd anyway.” A third user added, “Too many concerts in a short time and overpriced tickets — people are becoming choosy. First Calvin, now Pitbull — more cancellations might follow.”
