Ananova:

Ashanti had to be rushed off stage during a concert in Nigeria after male fans tried to storm the stage.

The singer, wearing just a tiny top and hot pants, whipped the 10,000-strong audience at the Abuja National Stadium into a frenzy after dragging a male fan onstage for a private dance.

Hordes of male fans suddenly tried to rush towards the singer, and had to be restrained by guards while Ashanti was whisked into the wings, reports MTV.

A concert-goers said: "Things got pretty heated out there. The crowd went wild when Ashanti stepped on stage. Her bodyguards were furious that fans were allowed to get so close."

The concert was organised to raise awareness of agencies helping the fight HIV/AIDS in Nigeria.
