Concert hoax.

R&B singer Toni Braxton is threatening to sue concert promoters in Suriname after they conned fans into attending a show purportedly featuring the star, only to discover the headliner was an "imitation act", it was reported March 6. The "Unbreak My Heart" hitmaker was reportedly touted to play a gig here on Feb. 27, but the crowd turned violent in the early hours of Feb. 28 when devotees realized they had been duped, and an impersonator, named Trina Johnson, was singing instead. Fans began rioting and threw bottles at the stage, before looting bars at the show's venue. Johnson, who had to be rescued by security guards, was left stunned by the chaos, because she insists her contract states she was hired as an "imitation act" and was unaware concert-goers were led to think otherwise. Authorities have launched a criminal investigation into the hoax, but promoter, Angel Ventura from Events 4 Suriname, and his assistant have disappeared, fleeing without paying local sponsors, organizations and stage personnel hired for the concert.
