Akon's Bengaluru concert goes viral for all the wrong reasons
Akon's November 14 show in Bengaluru is trending after a video surfaced of fans pulling at his pants while he performed "Sexy Bitch."
The clip, filmed near the VIP section, quickly drew backlash online for how disrespectfully the crowd treated him.
Many called it outright harassment—one user summed it up: "This is sad, they were harassing him live on stage. He is an international artist trying to perform for them and they are just harassing him."
Fans call out concert behavior and tour troubles
The incident has kicked off a bigger discussion about how artists should be treated at live shows.
Akon's India Tour 2025 hasn't been smooth—his Delhi concert faced sound issues and upset fans, while some in Bengaluru felt he was lip-syncing.
It's especially disappointing since Akon had called India "like a second home" and said he was excited to perform live here.
Now, many are questioning whether Indian audiences are giving international artists the respect they deserve.
