In an effort to guard against contracting the
Ebola Virus Disease, a United States-based
R&B star, Akon, last Sunday climbed inside an
airtight blow-up during a performance in Goma,
Democratic Republic of Congo.
The singer rolled over the crowd, pushed along
by the outstretched hands of 60,000 screaming
concert-goers while performing at a concert.
The performance was part of a larger free
concert held by charity, ‘Peace One Day,’ to
help promote and support the United Nations’
International Day Of Peace.
Akon was, however, accused of going to
extreme lengths to avoid catching Ebola during
a concert in Africa by crowd-surfing inside a
giant plastic bubble.
His action was criticised by a section of the
media outlets, describing it as a cynical
attempt to shield himself from the deadly virus
that is sweeping West Africa rather than just
being a creative way of performing closer to his
fans.
The Source , on its website, however, said,
“The Ebola virus is no joke. And to avoid
contracting it from anybody, when Akon left the
stage to crowd surf with the people that were
attending his concert, he did so in a huge
plastic protective bubble.
