Akon's Sri Lankan concert has been canceled and he's issued an apology for offending the Buddhists.
After thousands of Sri Lankan Buddhists protested an upcoming Akon concert, because of a Buddha statue visible in Akon's 'Sexy Bitch' video, the Sri Lankan government denied the singer a visa. Akon says he didn't realize the statue was in the video and issued this apology,
"I was not aware that the statue was even on the set of the video until now. I would never set out to offend or desecrate anyone's religion or religious beliefs.
"I myself am a spiritual man, so I can understand why they are offended, but violence is never the answer and I am disheartened to hear about what happened yesterday in Sri Lanka."
