الفنان الأمريكي #Russ عرف عنه نهاية حفلاته التي يقيمها بأن يطلب من الفتيات رمي “حمالة صدر” كنوع من الإثارة، أحيى حفلة في الرياض ويبدو أن أحد الحضور قد رمى له الحمالة والبعض يقول أن من رماها هو أحد أعضاء فريقه، حاول إعطاءها للفتيات لكن لم يستلمها منه أحد. pic.twitter.com/6KM2pFqCwy

Translation: “American rapper Russ announced by the end of his concert that fans throwing their bra shows that they’re having a good time, some speculating that Russ tried to give the bra to the fans but no one took it.”
The incident received massive backlash, as it portrays unprecedented behavior according to Saudi Arabia’s conservative customs and traditions.
