Wow. That picture puts a whole new light on the situation. Originally I thought he was some pedophile, but the girls got her fingers in his pantalones and she's dressed like a stripper.

exactly. didn't she think she'd won a dance contest or something which allowed her up on stage? and *that* was her prize?


She went voluntarily on stage to compete in a dance contest. So yes, it would be perfectly acceptable for him to dance with an adult that volunteers to go on stage to dance.
you call that dancing? :laugh:


What's most important is if the people involved call it dancing. I've been to quite a few clubs, including ones in the Caribbean, and people do grind and dry hump each other on the dance floor all the time. While their actions may be shocking to you, it's doubtful that it's something that girl hasn't seen and done before if she regularly goes to clubs like the one she was at.

How the hell is that racism?

He assume just because he is a black artist in the Rap industry he is a murder

I didn't see anything about him saying because he was black. He based his assumption on the fact he was dealing drugs and jacking cars. You seemed to have made your own ignorant assumptions that he based it on the fact Akon is black.

If you pretend that no one else can see that paragraph, and then your lack of a rational response..... maybe it'll come true.

my response claiming you are justifying what he did to that girl isn't irrational.

deal with it. move on.

Looked to me like she was already on the floor with her legs spread, then when he began 'simulating' she assumed the correct position. Like it or not she was complicit.

I'm not saying it was right, just calling it like I saw it.

These days, 14 year old girls look like 18 year old girls.

It started in the 80s. Thank you Madonna.

I'm 29 now which is relatively old by ATOT standards but even in my day there are always been girls that are very developed body wise by the age of 14. It's only their face that gives them away but they can obscure that by using a lot of dark makeup to make themselves look older.

I am certain that the guy is a dirtbag thug. However, that was an over-18 concert and the girl had a tramp stamp (lower back tattoo) and was dressed for the part. The dirtbag had a reasonable expectation that the girl was 18 or over. I think the girl and her parents are to blame. The rapper should not have to make amends for that incident. All the same, I would be perfectly happy if he offed himself and improved the gene pool.

I do feel a bit dirty defending this scum and agreeing with alkemyst at the same time.

ya, he didnt seem to give her any choice in the matter from the video i saw. even at 24 a girl wouldnt have had too much say in what was happening.

I am on Akon's side, 1) for no one under 18 was supposed to be in and 2)uh, she doesn't look 15 at all

BUT, holy crap, that video is pretty inappropriate

I am already boycotting him, and I sugest you all do the same. He is a huge supporter of blood and conflict diamonds. His actions have lead to the suffering of many people. A sick man indeed.

Lol.. yeah what he did was messed up.. but that stuff happens at clubs. Yes, he should have watched himself since he is a celebrity and things like this can get to the press. But, I have seen far "worse" stuff at clubs.


If Bon Jovi did the same thing, would people be attacking Jovi? Hmm

Bon Jovi would know better, most people would...

dry hump once, ok....questionable, but ok

twice on the floor, flip her over, twice more, take her to the side 3 more times, and finish up on the floor two time times is a porn flick.
