June 9th, 2007 Be gone, Akon

Akon
Is Akon the nastiest man in music?  On Sunday he was filmed throwing a 15 year old boy off stage and into the crowd at a gig in New York .  The boy landed on a member of the audience who suffered an immediate headache and blurry vision and was later diagnosed with concussion.  Unbelievably, Akon is protesting that he did nothing wrong, although The Poughkeepsie Journal is reporting that Akon’s lawyers have contacted the police who are investigating the incident and offered full co-operation.  

In April he was criticised for simulating sex on stage with a 14 year old girl.  The incident, which was filmed by his crew and later uploaded to the internet, led to Verizon Wireless withdrawing sponsorship from the Gwen Stefani tour, which Akon was due to support, because of massive public critisism.

The Senegalese American musician, whose real name is Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam is a believer in polygamy and reportedly has three wives.  He also owns a diamond mine in South Africa and has denied the existence of conflict diamonds - diamonds mined in war torn areas and the profits from which are used to prolong conflict - saying ”I don’t even believe in conflict diamonds.  That’s just a movie. Think about it. Ain’t nobody thought about nothing about no conflict diamonds until the movie came out.”

What a horrible man.
