Smack That!

Akon shouldn’t take his lyrics so literally.

During a show in Trinidad, the singer simulated STATUTORY RAPE with a 15 year-old fan, who shouldn't have been allowed in the club in the first place. For approximately 47 seconds the singer was twisting, turning, and flipping Danah Alleyne, daughter of a Trinidad pastor, all over the stage. Alleyne (pictured above with her father), who now, "regrets attending the concert," told the Trinidad Express, "I got carried away, I started to dance as well, but I never thought it was going to be like that. I was shocked. My head was hitting the floor."

The Prime Minister of Trinidad has called for a formal investigation.

How is Hip Hop still getting away with such degrading and disgusting acts towards women, and old white men like Don Imus are the ones getting blamed? What's with the double standard!

Akon is the opening act on Gwen Stefani’s Sweet Escape tour and now major sponsors like Verizon are dropping out.

Keep it in your pants Akon, or else you’ll end up Mr. Lonely.

What? There is no way you can compare the hiphop culture and what Imus did. Not even equivalent. And while I am not condoning Akon (though I love him), did we stop and ask why a 15 year old is at a concert she should not have been at? Do you know where your children are?
