adminFans of rapper Tinie Tempah were left furious when the star turned up hours late to his own “intimate gig” and only performed two songs before leaving.Music lovers paid nearly £40 to see the singer perform in Canterbury last night – only to wait for more than three hours for him to arrive.
He then spent just a few minutes on stage, playing two of his songs before telling the crowd “See you on tour” and leaving.
The club which hosted the event has apologised to the audience and accused Tinie of breaking his contract with them.
The event was advertised as “an exclusive and intimate gig with one of Britain’s most talented performers”, with tickets starting at £30 plus booking fees.
Ticket-holders had been warned that they would not be let in if they arrived after 11pm – even though Tinie was not there until at least three hours later.
One member of the audience told MailOnline that she stormed out in disgust when the star failed to turn up until after 2am, and then stayed in a VIP area meeting fans for another hour.
“We were told we needed to be there by 11, but he didn’t turn up until well past two,” said the 20-year-old student, who did not want to be named.
“Me and my friend left after three and he still hadn’t played. We weren’t the only people who left early, a lot of people left. People weren’t happy.”
Fans who stayed for the late-night performance were treated to just two songs before Tinie walked off stage, telling the audience: “See you on tour.”
One ticket-holder wrote on Twitter today: “Clearly success doesn’t equal class, Tinie Tempah showed how little he cares about his fans in Canterbury last night. He didn’t deliver on his promises to the club, half-heartedly performed two songs rather than a full set then left.” — dailymail.
