DJ Coco Brown Comments on Summer Walker’s Shortened Performance at “In The City”. What was intended to be a complete hour-long set turned into a disappointment on Sunday night, October 5, 2025, at SunBet Arena in Pretoria. The highly anticipated South African debut by Summer Walker at the In The City concert reportedly lasted only 30 minutes before the artist exited the stage, leaving attendees bewildered and frustrated.
Among the disappointed voices was DJ Coco Brown, who encapsulated the sentiment succinctly: “Drove all the way to go see all 5 minutes of Summer Walker,” he expressed on social media.
Shortly after, Walker addressed the audience’s dissatisfaction from the stage and later through her Instagram. “South Africa, I am so sorry. I literally don’t know what happened. I got kicked off the stage,” she stated.
Later, Walker reiterated to her followers on X, “South Africa, I am so sorry. I literally don’t know what happened. I got kicked off the stage.”
She later pointed to the event’s promoter in a follow-up post, claiming that mismanagement had influenced the outcome of the night. “@steynent, as the promoter of the event refused to pay the JOC, it messed up the whole show even though we were early. Love you guys until next time.”
Many fans who were delayed or stuck in traffic felt the performance was even shorter than it appeared on the surface. This context framed DJ Coco Brown’s comment about “five minutes” as a striking representation of the larger disappointment after months of waiting for a complete Summer Walker show.
The evening was intended to showcase excellence. “In The City” has established a reputation for standout lineups and high production quality, with audiences typically remaining until the very end. However, this year’s event concluded with lingering questions, a surge of social media activity, and Walker’s commitment to return in the future.
