Cape Town — American hip-hop and R&B superstar, Chris Brown, sent Mzansi into a daze when he announced that he would be coming to perform in South Africa.
He did not give details yet but wrote a simple message on his Instagram stories that read “South Africa, I’m coming.” He also posted a short promotional video in which an animated version of him walked with a South African flag waving in the background. The music star also announced that he will be touring Brazil.
According to TshisaLive, it is not the first time that Chris Brown will be performing in South Africa. He previously toured the country in 2012 for his Carpe Diem world tour, before returning in 2021 for The Chris Brown Experience Tour.
He also came to South Africa in 2015 ahead of his X Tour and performed in Johannesburg and Durban. He was also surprisingly cast on South African series, Generations: The Legacy back in 2008 when he played himself in a special cameo role, The South African reported.
In addition to his visits, he has worked with several South Africans and even featured 14-year-old Naledi Aphiwe in 2023.
The singer has a huge following in South Africa due to his high-energy performances and signature dance moves and will be expected to sell out his performances once he announces dates.
