Example Gets Fans Dressed Up As Bananas and Hot Dogs

English rapper Example has come up with a bananas new way to stop the wrong fans meeting him after a show...
The 28-year old star thinks that his fans should have to work for the chance of meeting their idol, so now has decided that you must be dressed as either a banana or hot-dog to meet him after a gig.
But before he even had time to tell the public whether he was joking or not, hundreds of fans began coming to his shows dressed as the food items – and queued for pictures later on.
"Every gig I did I had 300 people turn up for photos and the sad thing was not being able to have photos with every one of them.
"So, I figured if you were willing to dress up as a banana or hotdog then you probably deserved to meet me for a photo and signature after the show. It's been successful."
Example has been drawing all kinds of people towards himself with his music, including many a celebrity. At his show last night, Adele, Skream, JME, Wretch 32, and Professor Green were all in the crowd showing their support – unsurprisingly none of them were dressed as bananas.
