Though it was a wonderful concert ,the fans had it rough afterwards. According to Quartz Africa,some of them were mugged and Uber inflated their cab fare;In gridlocked traffic, concert-goers made their way to the gas station just a block away where they would meet their Ubers and other rides. Criminals spotted an opportunity and moved quickly among the crowds, grabbing cellphones and purses. People ran and screamed, creating more chaos. Others stayed put at the stadium gate, where it was safer but had no transportation.

This is really sad and disappointing. See their tweets below;
