Sharing the video, the user mentioned in his tweet that the air conditioner of that venue was not working properly. Hence, the singer was badly sweating and had also complained about the same. The netizen’s tweet can be read as:
“AC wasn't working at Nazrul Mancha. he performed there and complained abt it bcoz he was sweating so badly..it wasn't an open auditorium. watch it closely u can see the way he was sweating, closed auditorium, overcrowded, Legend had to go due to authority's negligence. Not KK.”
