Singer Akon returned to India for his Bengaluru concert on November 14, but the evening took an unexpected turn when fans standing at the front of the stage began pulling at his pants while he performed.
The singer was forced to keep adjusting them mid-song, and the incident quickly went viral, drawing widespread criticism online for the crowd’s disrespectful and harassing behaviour.
The clip, shared by a user on Instagram, shows Akon interacting closely with fans in the VIP section while performing “Sexy Bitch,” his hit collaboration with David Guetta.
People were pulling at Akon's trousers, but he kept performing, never pausing the music or disrupting the show's flow.
This incident happened during his Bengaluru stop, a few days after his November 9 concert in Delhi. On November 16, Akon will play his final show in Mumbai to conclude his India tour.
Once the video began circulating, social media users were quick to express anger and disappointment. Many condemned the behaviour of the crowd and called it outright harassment.

One fan wrote, "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." Another user commented, "What is this bro? This is highly unacceptable.”
Meanwhile, anticipation is high for the Mumbai show, but Akon’s Delhi concert earlier in the week left many attendees unhappy. Held at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium from 5 pm to 10 pm, the event saw huge crowds and was soon followed by complaints on social media about poor management and organisation.
