Either Akon doesn’t know how Ebola is transmitted or he’s just doing his usual thing. The “Locked Up” singer performed his set at the International Day of Peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo from the inside of giant plastic bubble. According to Yahoo! News he used the prop in order to crowd surf among all of the fans gathered for the outdoor concert.

Given the recent Ebola outbreak in Africa, some news outlets assumed that he only did it because he was afraid on contracting the virus. However, Akon has actually been using this bubble in his act since at least 2010. Check the video below!
