December is a high-risk month where many scammers take their chance to scam people.
On Monday, December 23, a suspicious hashtag was trending on X, which raised eyebrows.
The trending #TCWF2025 was about “Tomorrow Can Wait”, a music festival expected to take place at Legends Adventure Farm & MX Track in April next year.
Those promoting the event on X posted a list of exciting international acts, including Summer Walker, Lauryn Hill, Gunna, and Teddy Swims, who were said to be performing at the event.
However, if you look at the posters, something is off about their credibility and the biggest give away was the typo.
They wrote: “Tommorow Can Wait” instead of “Tomorrow Can Wait”. Also, instead of “90+ artists,” they wrote “90+ artisists,” meaning whoever designed the poster was in a rush.
If you look at the event’s original website, they have not yet released the line-up, so there is a possibility that whoever started the #TCWF2025 on X wanted to scam people.
Seeing that her name was trending at a suspected scam hashtag, Walker took to the social media app to clarify things.
“I was not booked to be at Tomorrow Can Wait Fest, it’s fake but I can't wait to come to South Africa for real. ‘Heart of a Woman’ video is out now,” she said.
X detectives quickly got to work and discovered that the email address posted on the supposedly festival’s Instagram page belonged to a graphic designer.
“The Tomorrow Can Wait Instagram page has an email domain of ‘The Giant Bounce’, which is supposedly a graphic designer company based in Sandton. The reviews on ‘Hello Peter’ are calling them scammers,” said @1992sFinest.

To curb the fire, the “Tomorrow Can Wait” organisers released a statement informing people that there was a miscommunication amongst the team.
“While our team had been under the impression that Summer Walker’s participation was confirmed, it has now become clear that the necessary finalisation with her representation was not properly secured.
“Given that this is a critical factor in our festival’s line-up, we are taking immediate action to pull all promotional materials, including social media posts, advertisements, and any other content that has been shared up until this point,” read the statement from the organisation.
However, even after releasing the statement, and locked the comments, people were still not sold that it is not a scam.
They asked that if it was genuine, then why did they use a similar style to “Hey Neighbour’s” on their posters with typos?
