Akon Fights Ebola With Airtight Plastic Bubble In DR Congo

Singer has been accused of going to extreme lengths to avoid
catching the disease during a concert in Africa by not touching his
fans

R&B superstar Akon » is under heavy criticisms from several
media outlets for going to extreme lengths just to avoid being
infected with Ebola » during a concert in Africa. He was seen
jumping on the heads of his fans while inside a giant plastic
bubble.
The 'Locked Up' singer climbed inside the airtight blow-up during
a performance in Goma, in the Democratic Republic of Congo , on
Sunday and rolled over the crowd, pushed along by the
outstretched hands of 60,000 screaming concert-goers.
But his actions prompted breathless reports from certain reporters
that rather than just being a creative way of performing closer to
his fans, it was a cynical attempt to shield himself from the deadly
virus that is sweeping West Africa.
Now why is that a problem?
The Source website reported that to avoid contracting it from
anybody, when Akon left the stage to crowd surf with the people
that were attending his own concert, he did so in a huge plastic
protective bubble.'
What the site forgot to mention or research is the fact that the
Konvict boss has used that same 'protective bubble' in several
other African countries like Cameroon (in March 2012), Perth and
Dubai in 2010 when no trace of Ebola was found then
In a brief speech on stage in Congo, the 41-year-old singer stated:
"As Akon, I see myself as an Africa...".

The singer was born in St. Louis Missouri but spent part of his
childhood in Senegal and have frequently visited the continent
where he even runs a charity for underprivileged children called
Konfidence Foundation . He also owns a diamond mine in South
Africa.
