Mr. Akon should have done his homework and reviewed his video. He may not have set out to offend anyone but he did. Ignorance is no excuse. Sri Lanka is better off without him anyway.
i guess ppl is just trying to look for issues as a reason for a riot. i suggest those who are offended by the video clip, don’t quickly jump into conclusion.
Who the heck is Akon? I live in SL and I don’t listen to that crap. Don’t these people have better singers to listen to. Keep SL clean. If you want a talented artist who recognizes the values of other religions to perform in SL, get someone from Asia.
your head is stuck soo far up your behind its not funny..
First of all there is nothing called crap music or art it all depends on the person as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder..
So Keep SL Clean what you consider great music might be CRAP to a lot of people..if you don’t like it don’t listen to it but don’t criticize it just cause you can’t relate to it…
true! ><
i was looking forward for the concert. Cummon guys! why do u wanna make everything a big issue? =|
Yeh. First SL govt needs to be investigated for its involvement in war crime. Whare their budhism went when they are commiting war crimes and killing people
DEAR THIS IS VERRY NICE AND FINE
