Akon Banned from Sri Lanka!

According to All Hip-Hop
“Akon was been banned from Sri Lanka today (March 22) after protests erupted over a music video which was deemed offensive to Buddhists.

The R&B singer was slated to appear in Sri Lanka on April 24th, but today, the country’s Director General of Information revealed Akon’s visa to enter the country has been denied.”

The video featured scandalous dancing in front of a Buddha statue. Okay, wouldn’t common sense tell you, dancing in front of a sacred figure (in this case a golden Buddha) might be offensive? C’mon, man.
