"The steps that we have taken to reassure the attendees and Ye fans are through a digital cleanse, as we have started flooding the media publications with press releases. We are looking forward to also starting to announce our brand sponsors. This will be something that reassures the public."

The group is also set on partnering with local broadcasting companies, emphasising that such companies often want to see paperwork with the artist's signature on it.

"We are also looking at partnering with broadcasting partners in radio and television. Those are the things that can reassure the fans, public and attendees. Because once you log those types of deals, brands and broadcasting partners have to see signed contracts from the artists and all the formalities that the artists come with," he said.

The company also assured fans that Ye will bring his A-game on stage to entertain his 60,000 fans. When ticket sales went live, many people were not convinced that the show is legitimate.

In a previous report from Briefly News, a TikTok user by the handle @mashnotpotatoes was one of the many people who were shocked to see that American rapper Kanye West was to perform at a stadium in Johannesburg.

The user thought Kanye, also called Ye, would have chosen the same stadium as Chris Brown when he performed in South Africa, FNB Stadium.
