In the recent paper \cite{SER}, the second author proved a divergence-quasiconcavity inequality for the following functional $ \mathbb{D}(A)=\int_{\mathbb{T}^n} det(A(x))^{\frac{1}{n-1}}\,dx$ defined on the space of $p$-summable positive definite matrices with zero divergence. We prove that this implies the weak upper semicontinuity of the functional $\mathbb{D}(\cdot)$ if and only if $p>\frac{n}{n-1}$.
