Akon’s Colombo concert scheduled for April 24 was  blocked after monks complained about his “Sexy Bitch” music video  featuring women in bikinis dancing around a pool. A Buddha statue was  visible briefly in the background. Akon’s agent, American  Talent, was not immediately available for comment, but the concert in  the capital Male is reportedly planned for April 23. The cancelled show, which  was reported to have sold out with tickets priced at Rs25,000 ($220), Screw the sri lankan economy by the government.</blockquote>
