Ghanaian artiste, Sarkodie, literally shut down the Internet with his Black Love virtual concert.

Upon the release of the pre-recorded show, which had been scheduled to go live yesterday evening on Ceek, an online streaming website for shows, the website crashed after recording too much traffic from all around the world.

Few minutes into showing the concert, the website immediately started to display gibberish information that read "Error 520 Ray ID: 5c3dae34bfb306f5 • 2020-08-16 19:49:46 UTC Web server is returning an unknown error".

The caretakers or the platform were quick to take to their social media page to apologize to the viewers, as they explained that  'Black Love' virtual concert traffic had caused their platform to shut down.

"#SarkNation shut the web down. Due to overwhelming traffic, we are having some technical issues. Please standby we are working to resolve this. 1.5 million at once with more coming." CEEK tweeted.

 

The site then announced that its team were working feverishly to correct the situation and resolve the technical issues surrounding the crash. Details from the website showed over 1 million people in Ghana were on the platform to watch the concert, with hundreds of people from other countries.

"@sarkodie #sarknation Apologies for the delays, the entire world is trying to get to the #BlackLoveVirtualConcert due to the overwhelming numbers many people have reported issues accessing the site. We are working fervently to resolve the issue." It said.
