Is Akon A-lying

June 7. 2007

Singer Akon claims he is innocent in the child flinging incident featured on the site yesterday, where he picked up a youngster and threw him into the audience in a fit of anger.

Dude, we saw the video. You picked up a 15 year old boy and tossed him like a sack of potatoes. The kid landed on people before hitting the ground. Not good.

Akon, you were wrong. Full stop. No one deserves that kind of treatment and disproportionate actions in response to a small provocation. The boy threw a small object at you that missed. He didn't deserve to be tossed for that by a well known R&B star.

Now comes news that the minor's mother has stepped forward with her son's info. It was also revealed today that an innocent bystander was injured, sustaining a concussion.

It wasn't an accident Akon, like some stage incidents turn out to be. This was deliberate and had forethought.

What if the boy had landed on his head. He could have died, been rendered paralyzed, broken several bones or sustained a brain injury. That's not something to joke around with. Think next time before you contemplate then undertake such deeds on stage. Adrenalin and anger is no excuse.

People aren't trying to come down on you, but they realize there is a problem with your conduct, with incidents transpiring one after another.

You seem to act first, then think after, which isn't beneficial to the public, who have been subject to your mood swings and wild behavior.

You clearly aren't thinking well when you go on stage, which beckons the question, what is your mind set when you are off stage.

You've had two incidents in a row. Let's not strive for a third, where you are sure to be "locked up" as the title of your song states. This is all very unnecessary.

Somebody give that negro some ADD medication before he goes on stage. We can't have him tossing the kids of the world all over the place like this.

Update: Akon Insist Innocence Over Fan Fling Allegations

06/07/07 - R&B singer AKON is adamant he is innocent of potential criminal charges after he allegedly threw a teenage fan into the audience at a New York concert. Video footage from Yahoo/ABC News shows the “Smack That” hitmaker hurling a concertgoer into the crowd at an event in Fishkill, New York, on Sunday (Jun 3).

While no criminal charges have yet been filed over the incident, police are in contact with the alleged victim - a 15-year-old boy from Harriman, NY...

This is the second teen-related controversial incident for Akon - last month the singer apologized after a dirty-dancing incident with a 14-year-old girl onstage.

In related news, A 26-year-old woman says she suffered a concussion when the thrown teenager landed on her head after being tossed off the stage. Abby Rosa of Delaware County tells the Poughkeepsie Journal that she suffered a headache and blurry vision and was later diagnosed with a concussion.
