LOL. Yes, he did ask for it. He sits in rooms all day with teams of publicists thinking of ways to sexualize himself so he can galvanize the pocket books of hormonal teenage girls (and gays of all ages) and then performs sexual lyrics and wags his hips in tight leather pants. He's not doing it for the art of singing. He wants the 1.6 million a show. And if he didn't want people touching him, he'd change security/the arena/HIS GENERAL THIRSTY VIBE or just take his money and go home.
Entitled spoiled celebs do not deserve my sympathy for things they themselves create.
