Video & Photos: Akon performs in a bubble in DR Congo because of Ebola?

Ebola scaremongering knows no bounds, first there were reports of the virus creating "zombies", and now Akon has allegedly crowd-surfed in a bubble during a concert in Africa "to avoid contracting it".

"Akon Performed In A Bubble In Africa To Avoid Contracting Ebola" a headline on The Source screamed yesterday, a strange conclusion that was echoed by thousands of people on Twitter.

The concert in question took place on 21 September and was part of International Peace Day celebrations in Goma in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, so it would have been pretty galling if Akon had honoured the occasion and its message of unity by sealing himself off from the crowd.

Yes, isolation is employed to help stop the spread of the virus, but in this case Akon wasn't worried about contracting it at the event, he was merely gleefully bouncing around on the crowd in the giant ball for the hedonistic thrill of it.

Yes, fun we guess because he performed in Ebola and disease free Dubai on the 3rd of December, 2010....in a bubble as well!
