There is nothing quite like finding out your favorite artist is performing in your city for free\u2026 especially when it all turns out to be an elaborate rouse. A rouse orchestrated by one cheeky TikToker: Jamie Lightfoot. Known online as \u2018jamisonlightfoot\u2019, the graphic designer frequently plans elaborate pranks, from faking a Barbie-branded pregnancy test to planting trilliums all across his city. And his latest idea is taking things to the next level, luring in eager concert-goers for a fake Drake and The Weeknd performance. \u201cI legally put up posters all around the city advertising a free Drake and The Weeknd concert in Trinity Bellwoods Park,\u201d Lightfoot said. \u201cThe only issue is the concert is fake.\u201d For the concert to attract attention, Lightfoot \u201cmade the most OVO-coded poster possible\u201d that included correct sizing, a \u201cconfused aesthetic\u201d and even corporate sponsors. And the poster worked, with many showing up for the occasion despite Lightfoot adding a fine print and disclaimer that revealed the concert wasn\u2019t real. As to why Lightfoot would go to these lengths? The answer is simple; \u201cI just want to watch the world burn.\u201d However, not everyone is convinced the prank was real. This is because Lightfoot has been known to trick viewers in the past by using his graphic design skills to manipulate and edit videos. That\u2019s right \u2014 the prank is the prank itself. \u201cLooks like there\u2019s even less people than a normal day at Trinity Bellwoods [to be honest],\u201d one person pointed out, suggesting Lightfoot may have filmed a regular day at the park rather than any soon-to-be disappointed concert-goers. Another viewer, determined not to be fooled by Lightfoot\u2019s handy work, commented, \u201cOkay so which editing tricks did you use now.\u201d If some sneaky CGI is to blame, Lightfoot is sure to reveal his secrets in a later video. But for now, we\u2019ll have to wait and see.
