Akon's concert in Colombo, Sri Lanka is officially banned by the Country's Government announced on Tuesday, March 23 as they denied an entry visa to the singer. Its decision has been ratified by the Cabinet, prior to the attack a group of Buddhist Monks, who claimed Akon is disrespected Buddhism, at the Maharaja Organisation head office.
Akon reportedly has apologized for his video, which features women in bikinis dancing around a pool with a visible Buddhist statue. He insisted he was not aware about the statue being on his set, when he shot the video. He said, "I would never set out to offend or desecrate anyone's religion or religious beliefs. I myself am a spiritual man, so I can understand why they are offended, but violence is never the answer and I am disheartened to hear about what happened in Sri Lanka".
