Viral Video: Akon’s Bengaluru Concert Turns Chaotic as Fans Tug at His Trousers

Akon’s India Tour was supposed to be all about nostalgia, energy and his classic chart-toppers, but his Bengaluru stop has unexpectedly taken over the internet for all the wrong reasons. A clip from his November 14 performance of "Sexy Bitch" has gone viral, not for the music, but for a moment that left the singer visibly uncomfortable.

As Akon moved toward the VIP barricade to hype up the crowd, a group of attendees began tugging at his pants instead of reaching out for a handshake. The singer tried to keep the show going, repeatedly adjusting his clothing while continuing to perform, but the awkwardness of the moment was hard to miss.


The viral video has overshadowed what was otherwise a well-received concert. Fans who attended the show, and those who watched the clip online, said the incident became the main talking point, with many expressing disappointment over the lack of basic concert etiquette. Several users called the behaviour “embarrassing” and stressed that such actions ruin the experience for both the artist and the audience.

Despite the controversy, Akon is keeping his tour on track. His Mumbai concert on November 16 went ahead as scheduled, and neither he nor his team has issued a statement regarding the Bengaluru incident. For now, the focus shifts to his final shows and whether this episode will push organisers to tighten security or rethink crowd interaction.

Akon, known for hits like “Smack That,” “Lonely,” “Don’t Matter,” and Bollywood favourite “Chammak Challo,” has enjoyed immense love from Indian fans for years. The incident has therefore left many longtime followers disheartened, hoping future shows bring back the celebration, minus the chaos.
