Rapper Future was put on blast Monday for promoting his Halloween concert at Las Vegas hotspot Drai’s just 12 hours after the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.
The outrage was fast and furious for the 33-year-old Grammy nominee – last seen in Australia Sunday – after he or someone on his team posted a flier for his October 28 gig on Twitter and Facebook.
At least 58 concertgoers were killed and 515 more were injured when a ‘crazed lunatic’ opened fire on the crowd gathered for the Route 91 Festival in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
