Akon Wraps India Tour in Mumbai With Bubble Crowd Surfing After Bengaluru Pants-Pulling Backlash

Viral misconduct in Bengaluru, plus Delhi complaints, kept attention on crowd behavior over the music.

Overview

  • Akon closed his three-city India run on November 16 at Mumbai’s NESCO Centre after earlier shows in Delhi on November 9 and Bengaluru on November 14.
  • The Bengaluru stop drew criticism after a widely shared clip showed front‑row attendees tugging at his pants during Sexy Bitch, though he kept performing.
  • Social media users condemned the Bengaluru behavior as harassment, and some posts also alleged segments of lip‑syncing during the tour.
  • Delhi attendees reported poor logistics, obstructed views and sound issues at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, fueling broader complaints about event management.
  • Mumbai coverage highlighted a nostalgic setlist including Chammak Challo and a crowd interaction inside a giant transparent bubble, with no official statements yet from organizers or Akon’s team on the earlier incidents.
