A video shared by Instagram user Zumair Khaja showed the singer performing for the VIP section crowd, singing Sexy Bitch, his collaboration with David Guetta. During the performance, he was repeatedly seen pulling up his pants as the front-row audience tried to pull them down. Akon, however, remained calm and continued singing his track.

Netizens Call It ‘Harassment
Soon after the video went viral on social media, netizens expressed their disappointment, calling the act harassment and condemning the bullying. Many criticised the lack of respect shown to Akon, adding that he is an international artist who traveled to India to perform.
A user 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.”
While some users also noted that Akon appeared to be lip-syncing for the entire performance.
Ahead of his shows in India, Akon had said, “India has always shown me so much love — it’s like a second home. The energy, the culture, the fans… it’s on another level. I’m beyond excited to be back and perform live for y’all. This tour is gonna be something special — let’s make history together!”
Akon has topped global charts with hits like Right Now, I Wanna Love You, Smack That, Lonely, Beautiful, Don’t Matter, and Chammak Challo, among others.
