PETALING JAYA, Oct 22 — Indonesian rapper Rich Brian was lovestruck after catching sight of one of his fans during a recent show in the US.
The Glow Like Dat singer posted a picture of the crowd at one of his concerts to his Instagram Stories and confessed to developing a “crush” on a girl who was watching him from the front row.
“Whoever this was, you were very cute and if you’re out there reading this, just wanted to let you know,” wrote Brian, whose real name is Brian Imanuel Soewarno.
The 20-year-old rap star also posted about her on Twitter and casually remarked that he needed her social media handle.
His 1.7 million followers immediately flew into a frenzy and embarked on a mission to track her down.

It’s not the first time the 88rising artiste has courted viral fame; he first shot to stardom with his music video for Dat $tick which showed him rapping in a pink polo tee and a fanny pack.
He is currently wrapping up the US leg of “The Sailor Tour” before heading to Europe later this month.
