Sri Lanka to Akon: Smack Dat Sexy Chick Elsewhere!
Akon has postponed an April concert in Sri Lanka after the nation’s government said it planned to deny his visa this week. The problem? A certain “Sexy Chick.”
Specifically, a sexy chick who’s feverishly shakin’ dat booty all up in a Buddha statue’s grill in the song of that name by David Guetta featuring Akon. Obviously.
More than 200 protestors in the city of Colombo threw rocks at the offices of Capital Maharaja, Akon’s concert promoters, angrily reacting to the video Monday.
The mob - some carrying signs that read “Stop Akon Now!!” - broke windows and hit cars parked near the building. Four employees were reportedly injured.
“Sexy Chick,” the hit song Akon recorded for Dave Guetta’s One Love album, shows babes dancing all suggestively in front of this Buddha statue by a pool:
Images like the screen cap above have “triggered a lot of disappointment among Buddhists all over the world,” a Sri Lankan government spokesman said.
Online debate heated up as well. The “We Hate Akon” page on Facebook has more than 12,000 members. That’s both hilarious and sad at the same time.
“I was not aware that the statue was even on the set of the video until now,” Akon said. “I would never desecrate anyone’s religion or religious beliefs.”
More than 60 percent of Sri Lanka’s population is Buddhist, and “I myself am a spiritual man, so I can understand why they are offended,” Akon added.
“But violence is never the answer and I am disheartened.”
Akon gets spiritual in his “Sexy Chick” video.
In case you’re unclear what song we’re talking about, and feel like getting it stuck in your head for 72 hours (you’re welcome!), it’s the one with this verse:
She’s nothing like a girl you’ve ever seen before / Nothing you can compare to your neighborhood hoe / I’m tryna find the words to describe this girl …
Without being disrespectful!
The way that booty movin I can’t take no more / Have to stop what i’m doin so I can pull up close / I’m tryna find the words to describe this girl …
Without being disrespectful!
Anyway, whose side are you on!?
Rumored Couple Alert: Akon and Ramona Rey
As celebrity couples go, Akon and Polish singer Ramona Rey was not one we saw coming. Then again, he is Akon. We should never be surprised at his prowess.
The man who inspires us to smack that up on the floor may be bending Ramona Rey over. Sources say they met working on the video for his song “Oh Africa.”
He was reportedly “charmed” by her. In Akon terms, that means he’s “trying to find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectful.” Hot stuff.
“When they first met, Akon said to Ramona that she’s beautiful,” a source said.
“When they were making the video, they were dancing together. The last day of filming, Akon said that he will never forget Ramona’s beautiful blue eyes.”
Ramona Rey beware: Akon has a kriminal record.
It seems the relationship is already progressing beyond strictly professional - the singers reportedly arranged to spend Valentine’s Day in L.A. together!
Cue soft, seductive beats of “I Wanna Love You” now …
Sara Coleman Causing Akon Baby Mama Drama
Akon knocked up some woman who now wants him to make child support payments - but she claims the only thing he does better than sing the hook on every song on the radio is hide from the process servers who try to subpoena his ass.
A lawyer for Sara Coleman has been desperately trying to serve Akon, even at the Michael Jackson memorial service, but so far has not done so. Dude is elusive!
The rapper/singer has already taken a paternity test, and it was a match! The kid is now six months old. The Konvict’s lawyer issued the the following statement:
“Akon has taken responsibility and has been very cooperative and proactive in handling this private matter. Paternity was only established just over 30 days ago.”
“Since this case was filed outside of Georgia jurisdiction, where he is a legal resident, Akon is currently in the process of engaging counsel in California and will continue to handle this matter in a timely, productive manner.”
Akon’s baby mama is looking to cash in hard. Can Sara Coleman be tossed off stage (so to speak) or will she get the child support she’s after? [Photo: Fame Pictures]
