Akon Could Be In Big Trouble

A while back we reported that Akon thew a kid off the concert stage where he suffered a concussion. Well it looks like the time to face the music has come. Akon is scheduled to appear in Fishkill Town Court Monday morning for the arraignment of the misdemeanor charge.
Back in April he was also being criticized for having simulated-sex with a 14 year old girl on stage. Not knowing the girl was only 14, he later apologized for his actions. Damn Akon, what else you gonna throw out there for us to gossip about?
Akon and Crew: No Criminal Conduct Here

Akon may think about ending his tour and giving up all live performances. Only a month it was his dirty dancing with an underage girl that got him in trouble, now he’s thrown an underage boy from the stage. Police are still considering whether charges will be filed in the incident, which occurred this past Sunday in Fishkill, New York. Akon’s attorney released a statement proclaiming the Akon’s innocence in the odd episode…
Akon Dominates the Music Charts

This past week hip-hop superstar Akon scored yet a second week at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The Senegalese star’s Don’t Matter kept his duet with Gwen Stefani on The Sweet Escape off the top, and gave him a rare one-two strike on the singles chart. That’s what I call domination! I dig Akon’s sound and I like the fact that he is pairing up with some of the music elite like Gwen and Snoop Dogg.

Akon on Music, His Diamond Mine, Beyonce

Akon said in an interview with Britain’s Nuts magazine: “I’m sure everything I listen to would surprise people. Right now, I’m listening to the new song by Take That, and also Snow Patrol. I love all that shit. “I take influences from every kind of music, not just hip-hop.”
Akon also revealed he wants to ride through the South African diamond mine he owns in a cart - just like movie hero Indiana Jones. Must be tough.
Akon on The Rise…and Oh Yeah, Free Downloads, Too

Akon’s debut album “Locked Up”’s success provided himwith instant heavyweight clout. Upgraded from writing songs and doing the occasional hook for B-, C-, and D-level artists, he tallied a multi-platinum album, was granted his own boutique label (which was used to spawn T-Pain), and became in-demand as an A-list collaborator — he worked with Young Jeezy, R. Kelly, Gwen Stefani, and even Elton John.
His second album, Konvicted, isn’t much different from the debut, even though it comes from a different perspective.
