Travis Scott's fans were disappointed after his scheduled concert within the vicinity of the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt was canceled. However, there was one fan who became famous due to the now-canceled concert as he tricked millions of people online; how did he troll them?
According to Rolling Stone, a 17-year-old fan named Charles Curle from North Carolina did the unthinkable and made the internet shocked when he made online users think that he actually sold his house in order to buy tickets for the concert and for the plane ride to Egypt just to see the rapper perform at the historical site.
The video, which was posted in July, featured the young kid holding keys in front of his house. He later added sound and music using the softwares Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro.

The clip cuts to an aerial shot of the Pyramids to trick people that he indeed travel to Egypt for the concert.
Following this, Curle immediately received millions of views from other fans, but the comments were divided as there were people who didn't believe he did it.

As of this writing, the short clip amassed over 6.7 million views, 1.1 million likes, and thousands of comments.
