The Islamic Ministry of Maldives has approved the concert of Senegalese-born rap artist Akon because he is married to three women.
"Our brother Akon practices polygamy and he has three wives. We are proud he is performing in Maldives," a statement issued by Adhaalath Party which heads the Islamic Ministry said.
Akon has been banned from performing in Sri lanka because one of his songs shows semi-nude women dancing next to a Buddha statute. However, the government of Maldives welcomes Akon.
"Akon is a Muslim. Maldives had converted from Buddhism to Islam a long time ago," President's Press Secretary Mohamed Zuhair told Minivan News.
"We are confident there will be no trouble at the concert. Gasim Ibrahim can control the nation because he is married to 4 women. Brother Akon can control a concert because he has 3 wives," said Sheikh Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed of Adhaalath Party.
