In October 2011, Seal came under criticism from human-rights groups for appearing at an event in Grozny, Chechnya, that turned into a birthday celebration for Ramzan Kadyrov, the President of Chechnya. Also appearing at the event were the actress Hilary Swank, actor Jean-Claude Van Damme, and violinist Vanessa-Mae. The New York-based Human Rights Foundation claims that it sent letters to invitees in advance of the event noting Kadyrov's record and asking them to decline the invitations.Human Rights Watch sent an inquiry to Seal regarding his performance at the event and released a statement about the incident which said:
"Ramzan Kadyrov is linked to a litany of horrific human rights abuses. It's inappropriate for stars to get paid to party with him. It bolsters his image and legitimizes a brutal leader and his regime. And getting paid to be part of such a lavish show in Chechnya trivialises the suffering of countless victims of human rights abuses there."
Seal refused to apologise for appearing at the event, sending a message from his Twitter account telling people to "leave me out of your politics". Seal was reported to have made $500,000 for singing at the party.
The singer Seal has been accused of making unwanted sexual advances by a former neighbour.
Tracey Birdsall, 54, claims she visited Seal, also 54, in his Los Angeles home in 2016 and that he forced himself on her, groped her and tried to kiss her.
Seal, whose real name is Henry Olusegun Adeola Samuel, is now under investigation for sexual battery by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department.
A representative for Seal told TMZ that he vehemently denies the 'false' allegations.
Ms Birdsall initially made the allegations in a now-removed Facebook post after Seal criticized Oprah Winfrey following her Golden Globes speech, claiming she knew about the rumors surrounding Harvey Weinstein but did nothing.
