Akon
Back in 2010 R&B superstar Akon was barred from the country of Sri Lanka. While filming a pool party scene for his video “Hot Chick” in the country a statue of Buddha was in the video. Because of the sexual nature of the video it caused street protests and government intervention. Akon is quoted as saying, “[I] 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 in Sri Lanka.”
