A woman is going viral for revealing she and her kids might get evicted after she spent her rent money on floor seats to an NBA YoungBoy concert.

The woman, Alicia Davis, took to Facebook to pen a plea for help to her thousands of friends and followers on the platform. In a short cry for help, she wrote:

"My RENT is currently past due cause I bought floor seats to the #nbayoungboy concert. Now they tryna evict me and my kids... can all my Facebook friends cash app me $1 that should be enough to catch up I got 7k friends."

However, users have not been taking to the message kindly. News of the same has made its way to X, where scores are slamming the woman for putting a concert over stability for her kids. Here's how one user reacted, for instance:

"Prioritizes a concert over rent is crazy. Kids don’t deserve it but you do B Word"

The comments didn't end there:

"imagine having kids and serious responsibilities and you spend your RENT money on some concert tickets," one user remarked.
"Facebook has a 5,000 friend limit. I don't trust her, so I wouldn't give her a dollar. She is probably trying to buy floor tickets, and this seemed like a good idea. Her idea could work to be honest however that isn't a compliment to anyone," someone else pointed out.
"$7K rent? Sounds like she can barely afford to live there as it is. Time to downgrade and live within your means," another added.
"Well she’s being introduced to consequences of her own decisions. No one is trying to do anything, she made a some decision for so done that has more this one child," yet another remarked.

See how the rest of X is reacting:

"nobody told you put a concert over your priorities. shoulda just sat this one out," one user pointed out.
"Lmao this has to be rage bait," someone else surmised.
"Imagine being homeless to go to a mid concert," another weighed in.
"She think YB going to pay for that rent huh," yet another jested.

While scores online slammed the woman for her antics, a few did point out that she could have been fibbing to score some extra cash for those tickets instead.
