Malaysia cancels US singer tour over Allah body art

Erykah Badu
Malaysia has cancelled a concert by American singer Erykah Badu after a local newspaper sparked outrage by running a photo of her with body art that included the Arabic word for "Allah." Information Minister Rais Yatim said in a message on Twitter that the concert was cancelled because it breached government guidelines on "religious sensitivities and cultural values" in Muslim-majority Malaysia.
