Akon seems to be making a lot of news lately with his bold concert stunts. A footage leaked onto the Internet recently showing Akon toss a young male into the crowd during a concert. And this video has led the Fishkill, New York police to investigate into the matter. However, it seemed to be a stunt because no one really looked concerned in the video.
Check out the video of an object being thrown at Akon as he talks to the crowd. Once a young male is identified as the culprit, Akon orders his security to bring him onstage. The crowd cheers as Akon removes his shirt, lifts the boy like a WWF wrestler and tosses him off the stage into the crowd. There is no word as to if this was a stunt or if the boy was injured.
Akon recently got into some trouble for his on stage sexual performance which included a 14-year-old girl in Trinidad. As a result he lost his endorsement deal with Verizon. During the April 12 concert in Trinidad, Akon announced a “dance contest” that featured a grand-prize trip to Africa. Danah Alleyne, the 15-year-old daughter of a pastor, won the “contest” – but the prize was not a trip to Africa. Akon announced that he was “Africa,” and proceeded to simulate multiple sexual positions with the girl as the crowd cheered.
Alleyne apologized in public last month after a local TV station aired the footage.
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.Verizon said they have removed Akon’s featured ringtones, as well as music and artwork from Akon's platinum-selling album “Konvicted” from Verizon Wireless stores and handsets.
