Travis Scott's 20-minute Istanbul set sparks fan fury
Fans in Istanbul were left disappointed after US rapper Travis Scott wrapped up his performance in just 20 minutes, leading to boos as he left the stage early on Monday, according to videos shared online. The 35-year-old artist made his first appearance in Istanbul late Sunday as part of his inaugural tour in Turkey, with another show scheduled in Izmir the same day. The concert, billed as more than just a typical show, had an audience of only 2,500, with tickets priced at $330. Attendees had expected a 90-minute set starting at 11 PM, but one fan, Ala Artan, expressed frustration on Instagram, saying, “We waited for hours, he played one song and then left. We wasted our money.”
