Did Akon Peform In A Bubble To Avoid Contracting Ebola In Africa???

Akon has been getting blasted on social media as of late after pictures surfaced of him crowd surfing during a concert in a bubble. Many people speculated that the singer who was in Africa at the time, did so to avoid contracting Ebola.

The New York Daily News reports:

As parts of Africa battle a grave Ebola crisis, rapper Akon performed in Democratic Republic of Congo — inside of a giant hamster ball.

Twitter users have accused the hip hop star of donning the bubble during Sunday’s concert in Goma as a means of protecting himself from the virus that’s killed more than 3,000 people.

But wait just a minute, did he really recently perform in a bubble??? And did he do so for fear of contracting the deadly virus????

Hit the flip to find out….

NOPE!

While it is true that he did indeed perform in a bubble, Akon ranted about how he would NEVER isolate himself from his people in fear of getting sick.

He then noted that he’s been getting his lil bubble on for years.

Interesting.

What do YOU think about Akon and his bubble performance??? Did you really think he’d do the people of Africa like that???
