Fans Tug at Akon's Clothes During Controversial India Tour Concert

On November 14, 2025, Akon's concert in Bengaluru, India, which was expected to be a high-energy celebration of his biggest hits, has now become the center of an online controversy. A video from the event has gone viral, showing fans pulling at the singer's pants during his performance of "Sexy Bitch."

The incident occurred as Akon stepped closer to the barricaded VIP section to interact with the audience. Instead of handshakes, some fans began tugging at his pants, leaving the international star visibly uncomfortable as he attempted to adjust his clothing multiple times while continuing to sing.

The behavior has been widely condemned online, with many calling it "harassment." The incident has overshadowed the concert experience for many attendees and viewers, who noted that basic concert etiquette seemed to be completely ignored, regardless of the age group involved.

Akon, who performed in Delhi on November 9 and is set to conclude his India Tour in Mumbai on November 16, has not addressed the viral video publicly. However, fans and concert-goers are urging better crowd behavior and respect for performers, especially when global artists take the stage for Indian audiences.
