Malaysia Bans ‘Despacito’ From Government-Run Stations
Malaysia has banned Luis Fonsi‘s smash hit “Despacito” from government-run radio and TV stations.
The country’s Communications Minister Salleh Said Keruak told CNNMoney:
“The song was filled with numerous sexual references and innuendos and thus wholly inappropriate to be aired by our national media outlets for our general public, especially children.”
Salleh also told the Associated Press that the ban does not affect the Justin Bieber remix, and only applies to government-run stations, not private outlets or streaming services.
“Despacito” has become the first Spanish-language song to reach number one on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in over 20 years. The original and the remix together are the most streamed track of all time with over 4.6 billion plays, according to Billboard.
