So, back at the beginning of April at a concert in Trinidad Akon apparently had a lapse in judgment. He reportedly invited some girls up on stage for “a dance contest”. Things got out of hand and there was some mutual bumping and grinding.

In hindsight, not the best move for the singer of such memorable hits as the back up vocals on Gwen Stefani’s “Sweet Escape” . One of the girls involved (I believe the one shown at the very end of the video) is only 15. Now Akon no longer has a sponsorship deal with Verizon because of all this underage backlash. Just look at the “FOX News” clip. It might not be my favorite news outlet, but it's good for a laugh

Do I think all that thrusting was appropriate? Of coarse not. But this little lady was 15 in an 18+ club. Not Akon’s fault she was there. This girl WILLINGLY jumped up on stage. Now she is back peddling. She is quoted as saying, “"This whole hip hop thing is a guise and I don't want any part of it. Look at what I have to go through with one mistake that I made. My dad warned me every time and I didn't listen. I am sorry." Huh? Her dad is a pastor...think that has anything to do with her sudden claims of violation? Daddy must be mad.
