However, the singer has rejected the allegations.
Report says whether the protest will be effective remains to be seen, the concert organizers were not available for comment.
A municipal official in Hamburg told dpa that a binding contract had been signed for the 7,000-seat venue Hamburger Sporthalle for April 14.
