Akon Shut Down by Islamic Leaders in Kuwait


A concert to raise awareness about the dangers of texting and driving featuring rapper Akon called off by conservative lawmakers in Kuwait…

According to reports the "Smack That" singer's performance was canceled after being widely criticized on moral grounds.

The concert promoter admits he was not given a reason by local authorities who ordered him to cancel the event, but a member of parliament was quoted in the local paper saying the concert should not go on because children needed to be protected from "negative people."
