Cathay busker Jeff Ng has been taking over the headlines following a slew of allegations against him by former friends, fans, industry insiders and his ex-girlfriend.
Among the many allegations levelled against him, including his ex-girlfriend describing him as the “worst person” she has ever known, local musicians exposing him for being entitled and allegedly demanding his audiences to clap for him, him allegedly sabotaging his friends (or former friends) air tickets and leaving them stranded overseas, threatening to leave his live stream because his fans were chatting, and confronting a fan for unfollowing him on Instagram.
Cancelled again
His performance last Saturday was cancelled following the emergence of the allegations and exposés, although he cited the “increase in Covid cases” as the reason for his cancellation on 2 July.
However, his performance for today (4 July) at 5pm has also been cancelled, and he has since changed his Instagram profile settings to private and stopped short of providing an excuse a reason for his cancellation today.
Planned performance
Ng was supposed to perform today from 5pm to 10pm at Dhoby Gaut (presumably at the same open area outside The Cathay, according to the National Arts Council website.
Buskers in Singapore are required to apply for a venue and time on the National Arts Council website for their performances.
He also has upcoming performances scheduled for 9 and 16 July, although those performances have yet to be cancelled (yet).
