Why do people still like to support someone who beat his GF (Rhianna) within an inch of her life? Bro still dresses like a thug in a street corner from 1998.
@M_A_N_ofLetters averred:
I don't care for any so-called celebrity, but $1200 isn't a lot of money for men with real careers and/or income streams, and who knows if he turned it into a business opportunity or not. It is what it is.

Spending such an amount for a snapshot is weird
Speaking on the development, Mr. Martin Afangideh wondered how a person could spend such an amount just to take a photo with a fellow human being.
He said:
"We're living in a crazy world. How can someone pay such an amount of money to meet a fellow human being?
I know that people often do unimaginable things for their favourite artist, but this is quite shocking."
