Another Fight Breaks Out at Akon Concert

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:41:20 +0000

Akon was performing in Melbourne, Australia when a fight broke out between rival gangs in the audience. So what did Akon do? He jumped into the crowd to fight the people fighting, so he could stop the fight. Usually pouring gasoline on fire only makes the fire bigger.

Afterwards a total of nine people went to the hospital with injuries, and six other also reported being assaulted.

Akon’s promoter sugar coated Akon’s intervention saying:

"One of the things people should take note on is an artist didn’t have too much concern for his own safety to go down and try and make things better."

"The thing that I saw, and I was standing right next to him. He walked to a girl (involved in a fight) and walked to her and held her face and said, ‘You’re better than that’."

It took Akon 2 years to convince Australian authorities to let him perform again in their country, due to his long list of criminal convictions. Australia may be rethinking opening their door to Akon anytime in the future.

Wherever Akon goes, trouble always follows.

Akon Lies About His Age

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 23:03:22 +0000

Akon, real name Aliaune Damala Thiam, has been lying about his age. Akon says he doesn’t want to disclose his real age, because it will disappoint his female fans. Akon said:

"All it’s going to do is depress me. I don’t want to know I’m getting older. Then I’ll start to think about getting checkups and insurance. I don’t want that."

Numerous reports have put his age between 25 to 35 years old. In 2006, he gave his age as 25. But now, he claims his birth certificate shows he was born on April 16, 1977, which would make him 31. However, when Akon was booked, and the mug shot above was taken, in New York in December of 2007, Akon claimed his age was 34 years-old. Lying to police is a crime.

Although Akon was born in the United States, he spent his early life in Senegal, where his family is from, and he says he never knew his real age:

"In Africa … age is not important over there. They don’t care. People only focus on it here (America) and in Europe."

Akon says when people ask, he just gives him a figure that comes to mind.

"I feel like I’m 21 right now, and I’ll be 21 for the next 10 years."

Lying to people on the street might not matter, but it’s a crime when you lie to police, a government agency, or a court about your age. It’s called perjury, and it is punishable with prison time.

This is the same irresponsible, and reckless, attitude that keeps getting Akon into trouble.

Akon Falls On Stage

Akon was performing when he slipped on a wet stage.

It’s good to see he didn’t throw anyone off the stage … this time.

Akon Found Guilty in Assault Case

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 18:21:10 +0000

Akon delayed a court date on an assault charge dating back to November of 2007. Yesterday Akon pleaded guilty to second degree harassment. He was fined $250, and has to serve 65 hours of community service. All this for throwing a 15 year-old fan off a stage which injured the fan, and a girl the fan landed on. With Akon’s criminal record it would seem the courts would take this action more seriously. Akon got off easy.

Akon Assaults Female Concert Fan

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:18:40 +0000

Akon, who is scheduled to go on trial for assaulting a young boy in New York by throwing him off a stage, which also injured a girl in the crowd, did it again. This time Akon was performing in Guyana, South America on August 30. Akon body surfed from the stage to a camera platform about 100 yards away. When he got there he physically assaulted two girls, one of whom helped him get up on the camera platform.

This isn’t the first time Akon has abused young girls. In April of 2007, Akon dry humped a 15 year-old girl named Danah Alleyne from Trinidad and Tobago, who was a preacher’s daughter. She was no angel, but she was only 15, and Akon knew better. Pictures of Danah are below, and a video of the incident that almost landed Akon in jail is also below. Fortunately for Akon, his actions in Trinidad are part of a common dance there, which isn’t necessarily considered indecent, and it is considered part of the culture.

In New York however, it is against the law to be violent towards minors, and that is probably the case in Guyana, especially when two girls are involved. Akon never seems to learn his lesson. Hopefully, prosecutors in New York will see the Guyana video, and decide not to allow Akon to settle the case in New York, but will instead convict him so he can learn his lesson behind bars. One of these days, Akon’s reckless behavior is going to hurt someone very seriously.

Akon Goes on Trial for Tossing Fan

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:41:42 +0000

Akon is finally going on trial for throwing a fan off the stage, and into a crowd in June of 2007 at a concert in New York state. Akon faces charges of endangering the welfare of a child and second-degree harassment. A female fan in audience said she got a concussion when Akon threw the boy on her.

Fishkill Town Justice Harold Epstein ordered Akon, who was present in court for today’s 9 a.m. hearing, to return to Fishkill Justice Court December 1 for the start of the jury trial.

Akon faces a maximum of one year and 15 days behind bars if convicted on both charges.

Dutchess County Assistant District Attorney Anthony Parisi requested that Akon’s attorney, Andrea Zellan, attempt to reach a deal within the next two weeks, before notices are mailed out to potential jurors.

Akon’s attorney released the following statement:

"We are pleased that Judge Epstein adjourned the case to a date certain for either a trial or a negotiated resolution. Akon looks forward to putting this incident behind him, and in the meantime, he will continue to meet every requirement set forth by the court."

Akon will settle.

Whitney Houston Song Leaked on Internet

Hollywood Grind — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 16:53:08 +0000

A new Whitney Houston comeback song was leaked, probably to test the response. The song is called Like I Never Left, and features Akon. The main line is "I want you to love me like I never left."

The song lacks enthusiasm, and sounds just okay. What do you think?

Akon Causes Riot in Denmark

Hollywood Grind — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:01:18 +0000

Akon was performing a free concert in Copenhagen, Denmark on Wednesday when his fans began to riot as police attempted to evacuate the mall after fire alarms went off. The riot escalated once everyone was safe outside as concert-goers started throwing rocks and drink bottles at the officers, resulting in eight arrests. The fire turned out to be a false alarm and mall security have launched an investigation into what went wrong.

Gosh this an easy one to figure. One of the kids at the free concert thought it would be funny to pull the fire alarm and did, nearly getting people killed in a riot. As for the rioters, would they rather burn to death in a fire rather than be evacuated?

Trouble has been following Akon ever since the day he dry humped a 15 year-old girl onstage in Trinidad. Trouble follows trouble.

Akon Dirty Dances with 15 Year Old On Stage – Video

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 16:39:19 +0000

[See post to watch Flash video]

Back in April of 2007, Akon simulated sex with, and grinded on, a 15 year-old girl in Trinidad, but he remains one of the most popular artists to date. In defense of Akon, he didn’t know the girl was 15, and that type of dancing is common in Trinidad. I guess that dancing helps keep the population from declining in Trinidad. The video, which seems to be the only one left on the Internet today, is one of our most popular even today, so we thought we’d post it again in case you missed it.

Akon Mug Shot

Prosecutors charged Akon with endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment, after he threw a teenage fan off the stage at a concert in New York state back in June. In his court appearance Monday, he pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his lawyer issued a statement saying the singer "deeply regrets" the incident. Akon pleaded not guilty, but "deeply regrets" the incident. Spoken like a politician. Akon’s court date is in January 2008. Click here to see video of the crime.
