Akon to rock The Maldives in wake of Sri Lanka ban

[lkdood]

The tranquil Maldives will host an Akon concert in the wake of a ban imposed by Sri Lanka.

The AFP reports the island offered the American rapper a concert after protesting Buddhist monks stymied his Sri Lanka performance next month.

The monks were opposed to his Sexy Bitch music video
that showed women in bikinis dancing poolside - and a fleeting Buddha statue in the background.

The Sri Lankan tourism authority said Colombo could not issue a visa to Akon because the video was 'insensitive to Sri Lanka's [Buddhist] cultural heritage'.

The rapper's Sri Lanka show was reported to have sold out, with tickets valued at 25,000 rupees [$220].

The Maldives, meanwhile, welcomed the prospect of the star playing on April 23.

'We are very happy he is planning to come and perform,' said the spokesman for President Mohamed Nasheed by phone.

Personal life and allegations

He has also been rumored to have three wives, however he has since revealed that he only has one, named Tomeka. Akon claims he has six children with three different women in an interview with Blender.[12] Akon claims to have great relationships with all his children, and that he wishes to keep his family protected from the public eye. He also states that his religion made him a better person, and provides guidance to how he acts among others in life.[13]
He also has his own charity for underprivileged children in Africa called Konfidence Foundation.[14] Akon owns a diamond mine in South Africa and denies the existence of blood diamonds (also known as "conflict diamonds") saying, "I don't believe in conflict diamonds. That's just a movie. Think about it. Nobody thought or cared about conflict diamonds until "Blood Diamond" was released. "[15] However, he has since stated that he does accept that blood diamonds exist, and that he is partial-owner of an African mine that is dedicated to avoiding use of blood diamonds while also donating profits to local communities.[16]
"The Smoking Gun" reported in April 2008 that much of Akon's purported criminal and incarceration history has been dramatically embellished.[17][18][19] In particular, Akon's claims to be part of an auto-theft ring and his claim to have spent three years in prison were challenged with court records and interviews with detectives involved in Akon's case.
According to "The Smoking Gun's" article, Akon was not convicted of any crime and did not serve any time in prison from 1999 to 2002 as previously claimed. He stated that "The Smoking Gun's" attempt to “discredit” him “makes no sense as it is something he is trying to forget.” Akon retorted that he never spent 3 years in prison consecutively, but many shorter sentences that add up to three years, and cites that as the mis-understanding by The Smoking Gun's article [20]

Maldives is a country which thrives on tourism. So they don't care what type of shit that washes ashore in their islands as long as they make a profit out of it!!!

I don't know why on earth would our ppl be so concerned about this issue! This is so simple. Akon did something bad. He tried to act as if he never knew it. Our stupid event organizers did not analyse the impact on akons behavior towards Sri Lanka's main religious beliefs. ppl began to show their disapproval. So his tour was cancelled. It is not a conspiracy. WTF is wrong with u ppl?? No common sense? Every reaction to anything internationally related is a conspiracy! I think the main conspires are the event organizers. Cos if they did not try to bring a corrupt person in the first place there would be no problem like this. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I dont think anyone talked about an international conspiracy here, but having said that International conspiracies are very real, and alive.. oh! yes!

My personal opinion is Sri Lanka should have allowed Akon to come and make him apologize publicly for his ignorance (which he already did, so I can't see why he cannot do it in SL)

I'm just giving my opinion I did not ask anyone to accept to anything! :lol:

FYI.. Here's a FACT.. RELIGIOUS WAR is permissible in Islam to protect Islam its in the Quran itself... :lol:

So its the Buddhists and other people belong to other faiths that should be careful!
