Drake not performing at Konka

In a previous report by Briefly News, the former Soweto-based nightclub Konka crushed many hearts when they revealed that Grammy Award-winning rapper Drake would not be coming to SA.

This follows a post shared on Facebook by an account using the establishment's name fraudulently, claiming that the Canadian artist would be at the nightclub.

Tickets for his fake performance started at a whopping R20,000. While some fans were shocked at the price, many of his eager ones joked about how they would raise funds to see Drake live.
