Video: Akon Keeps It Gully with a Boy


Akon picks on people his own size. Word has it that the kid threw a piece of pretzel at ‘Kon, which led to the mandatory crowd-surfing you see in the clip. To paraphrase my friend Joey, it’s crazy that he couldn’t have done it with his shirt on.

On second thought, this whole thing looks like a stunt. How the hell did Akon’s DJ know that he’d be feeling “Lonely” after that incident if it wasn’t staged?

Update: This video shows what happened afterwards.

what done got into this nucca head?

That’s really nuts.

On a different note, I thought Akon was a big star. All these videos look like he’s playing local farmer festivals and town meeting halls.

SAIGON has challenged atlantic sayin its a roster of ‘ringtone making artists’ and says he will put out his album regardless if they approve it or not… good news to me.. sai is the truth and sounds like his album will be one of the better ones released this year….

6. Rizoh Says:

that album is not coming out, at least not on atlantic.

Ah yes, Akon has fucked up again. He’ll see a lawsuit from the toss-ee and the female fan that dude landed on to break his fall. Nice work there ‘Kon.

On second thought, this whole thing looks like a stunt. How the hell did Akon’s DJ know that he’d be feeling “Lonely” after that incident if it wasn’t staged?

Akon’s DJ is probably using an iPod to cue up songs and uses the turntables to manipulate scratching noises. I don’t think this was a stunt.

The real question here is why did this guy threw a piece of pretzel at him in the first place?

Which makes this all the more conflicting for me. On the one hand, that guy should have been dragged onto the stage, beaten severely and taken away in handcuffs. On the other hand, throwing a concertgoer into the crowd is bad for business — and is a criminal act.

I don’t condone what Akon or what that fan did but something had to give. And in this case, a mandatory bodyslam into the crowd for a skinny white boy.

As for Siagon, it looks like he’s going to have to follow in the footsteps of Little Brother and say, “bye-bye” to the folks at Atlantic. The executives are rolling with the T.I. movement and that Piles “Shawty” track is burning radio up like a motherfucker.
That’s going to be the hot song of the summer.

Siagon it’s all on you. You need to create your own movement or go to Koch Records. Atlantic is on the southern T.I.P. right now. So it’s time to release a hot joint — NOW!!! Just Blaze, where you at? The time is now. Blaze the streets with a fire joint. Come Again!

^Trent, you should be A&R at some big label right now.

10. DJ Raida Says:

Im really dissapointed on that saigon, becuase the teasers i heard from the album were all fire, that jay-z saigon one? man i watch that video its in all the time just over and over salavating at it

11. Darkpoet Says:

I would have thrown a pineapple instead.

12. Walter Says:

If Akon does this to dudes for throwing a piece of a pretzel, what would happen if they threw a water bottle at him???

13. Illmatic620 Says:

its staged, and if he isnt, he assaulted Akon with a pretzle, Akon should be suing this kid.

14. Donny F Says:

That was a WWE move right there. It was probably one of the very few times they actully got a chance to put their hands on a hurler.

15. DJ Raida Says:

throwing a pretzel at someone is NOT assault, theres no justice if throwing a pretzel at someone is assault.

16. Passing Through Says:

Funny thing is, in the newer aftermath video, we see glimpses of no less than 4 different cops on camera. They did nothing at the time, but NOW all of a sudden they want to speak to the kid that was thrown? Come on. Dude just stood there and let Akon pick him up. I’m thinking it was a stunt.

17. Tom Says:

Stunt or no stunt, you gotta’ admire Akon’s strength.

18. adam@ 1xtralarge Says:

C’mon dawg it was only a pretzel. That ish was lame compared to this….
