Malaysian State Radio Bans Bieber-Free Original Version of “Despacito”

202

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee‘s globe-conquering hit “Despacito” is banned from state-run media in Malaysia, the Associated Press reports. The decision follows a call by opposition political party Amanah to ban the song because of its innuedo-laden Spanish-language lyrics. Speaking to Malaysia’s The Star, Amanah arts and culture chairperson Atria Umar complained that the lyrics were unsuitable for the public and inappropriate for children.
