Calls to cancel the concert of American rapper Travis Scott, scheduled to be held in Egypt, on July 28, escalated strongly, with a barrage of tweets listing the reasons for rejecting this event by a number of activists, using the hashtag “cancel_concert_Travis”, but in complete parallel with these calls, There was something like an auction of concert ticket prices on the black market, and while the highest category did not exceed 200 US dollars, the prices in the parallel market ranged from 25 to 30 thousand pounds, equivalent to approximately 1000 US dollars, after they ran out. Tickets are on the official website a few hours after they are released.
What happened is immediately reminiscent of the controversy that accompanied the announcement of the American comedian Kevin Hart's concert in Egypt, last February, when the event that was scheduled to take place in the Cairo stadium was canceled after public anger at Hart's advocacy of the Afrocentric movement itself, albeit The declared reason is “logistical problems.” Will Scott meet the same fate?!
Travis Scott, 32 years old and father of two children from his ex-girlfriend, model and American billionaire Kylie Jenner, chose the foot of the pyramids as a place to launch his fifth album, UTOPIA, "Utopia". Many of the comments are welcome, and many of them are also “hashtags” calling for banning the concert and calling on officials to confront it, with accusations that he offers children offerings to the devil at his parties and advocates negative propaganda for Egyptian antiquities.
