It's a Red Square up at Nel concert (Концерт Nelly Furtado)

It's a Red Square up at Nel concert

RIOTS and NELLY FURTADO shows do not normally go hand-in-hand.
But things kicked off at a gig in Moscow on Sunday.
Rapper TIMATI — Russia’s answer to P DIDDY — tried to get on stage to perform a planned set with the Maneater singer but was stopped by venue officials.
Then Nelly’s security stepped in, sparking a 20-man brawl.
As Nelly carried on singing the fight ended in a mess, with some of the crowd getting covered in blood and Timati losing a tooth.
He raged later: “I know who was behind it. They will be punished.”
The rapper is a huge star in Russia and owns a club and a record label. But like most rap stars, he’s upset a few people.
An official at the venue revealed: “We learned at the last moment he was going to perform with Furtado. I gave the order not to let him on stage.”
P Diddy wouldn’t put up with that sort of behaviour.
