Akon sexually assaults girl at Trinidad concert.

[gtikid]

The AGE has very little to do with it. I'd say the same exact thing if she was 25, 35, or 55. What he did was put himself in a position where someone else looking at it could PERCEIVE it as offensive. Since HE has something to lose, HE is an idiot for putting HIMSELF in that position to begin with. You don't get that? He COMPOUNDED the problem because she turned out to be a minor on top of that. So he's not an ass for doing that to a 14 yr old, he acted like an ass and put himself in jeopardy REGARDLESS of what her age was. Get it?

Like I said before, the only people that really have a problem with it are the people who don't buy or listen to the music to begin with. Then they see some redneck on his WWJD Radio Station bring it up, and they all follow. It's not offensive what he did, believe me, you see that type of shit in clubs all the time. Would I do it? No. But if he's into that kind of stuff then let him be. Did you ever see the girl try to push him off? Hell no. She probably got off stage, said "wow, what a hell of a night" and texted all her friends letting them know that Akon just dry humped her on stage.

Really? What is his Verizon Wireless contract worth???

Really? What are prospective sponsor companies worth???

Really? What is a lawsuit gonna cost him????

It's gonna cost him a lot of money eventually, you can believe that.

Hahahahahaha his Verizon contract Have you ever seen Akon on a Verizon commercial? Is he a spokesman for Verizon? Shit no. He's like EVERY OTHER ARTIST on a wireless providers ringtone list. Of course they're gonna have pictures of him on there. It's not that hard to copy and paste and make a website. Yea he might be getting a little from them, but it's not what makes him his millions. You think Verizon, Cingular, Sprint, Tmobile, Alltel, Metro, etc are going to pay EVERY artist they have on their ringtone list millions of dollars?

Crowds at pitbull dog fights "get into it" too. Does that make them cool or right?

Did I ever say anything about it being cool? What about rock concerts that start mosh pits and end up with people getting their asses beat and sometimes dead? Should we ban all of their music from wireless providers ringtone lists? Should Hot 107.9 in New York make a big ass discussion about how that genre of music promotes violence?

If that's what it takes to STAY a millionaire, then yes that's exactly what he should damn well do.

Wrong. That's your image of a millionaire. Not everyone is going to do things HOW YOU WANT THEM TO. And just b/c they aren't doing it YOUR way isn't a reason for YOU to bash them.

Entertainment is a BUSINESS. This is what these people DO for a living. Therefore they have to cater to their audience, not the other way around. If their audience says that he's a crude person and no longer want to support him, then guess what???.......he'll have to find another way to make a living. That simple. Look at what happened to 2live crew. They got the limelight for a while for being out there and doing the same thing. We all bought into it for a while, but eventually people got tired of the same old lines and the same old BS. What happened to them?? After a bizillion lawsuits and record labels dropping them, where are they now???? Are they still up on stage having sex in front of millions of people and selling millions of records???? NO. Ask them if they regret being stupid. Ask them. I've seen E! True Hollywood story.....they regret the shit out of it now. Your boy is gonna be the same way.

What audience are you talking about?! Look at everyone that likes Akon in here, THEY'RE STILL ALL SUPPORTING HIM!! And they're going to CONTINUE to support him. Everyone knows it's just another case of some stupid ass female trying to take advantage of a well known star. His audience are going to still listen and BUY his music. I'll say it again, the only audience that has a problem with it, is the audience that didn't listen to him to begin with. The one's who never really cared about him anyway, or didn't even have a clue who he was before the incident. What good are those people to him? NONE. They don't buy his music, they don't put money in his pocket, he doesn't give 2 shits about them or what they think.

#1. I explained exactly how it's going to affect him above.
#2. BS.

I guess you ran out of answers and things to say

I buy music. I buy all kinds of music. Will I buy Akon music now? Don't know, depends on what he puts out and how he responds to this. If he comes on TV acting like yall, then hell no. If he admits he screwed up, then maybe. Either way, when you are an ENTERTAINER you're only as good as your last gig. If your backers think you're hot, they pay. If they think you're hot for another reason, they pull out. Look at what happened to Imus with CBS. As I said, what kind of effect do you think this kind of exposure can have on his FUTURE sponsors? Would a company who has a good and established reputation want to gamble on an artist that has THIS tape available world wide for everyone to see??? Look at what happened to R. Kelly. Look at what happened to Michael Jackson. Look at what happened to 2live Crew. All from bad reps and bad publicity. They may be good singers and entertainers, but they are not worth the trouble in the sponsor's eyes to back them up.

You might buy a little 50 cent here and there, a little g-unit here and then, maybe, MAYBE some Dr. Dre, and I really doubt that. You aren't REALLY into that kind of music. Once more, you are someone who's opinion Akon isn't really going to give a shit about.

R.Kelly and Michael Jackson, good points Those guys can still go to ANY venue and still sell the place out. R.Kelly did his thing with that girl, and he's STILL making all kinds of songs and doing all sorts of remixes and he is still all over music and all over the radio. Did it affect him? Nope. Once again it was just the people who didn't listen to his music to begin with that had a problem with it. And Michael Jackson, are you really saying no one likes Mike anymore? You must be out of your mind. When I used to demo audio systems, and I would put on some Michael Jackson videos, the whole store would come to the section and just watch him and get into it. He may be a little on the crazy side, but everyone still loves Mike.

You still don't get it, do you?

Was Kobe in that hotel room with some girl IN THE FIRST PLACE??? He was. Therefore, HE has placed a lot of the burden onto HIMSELF because he was stupid enough to let his guard down and put HIMSELF in a situation where he COULD be extorted. Get it?

Another way to look at it: If a woman comes up to a married man and says HE is the father of her new baby and she wants money, has he done anything wrong? Well, IF he slept with that same woman making the allegations, then YES......EVEN IF SHE IS LYING. Why? Because he was married when he slept with her. EVEN IF SHE IS LYING, he STILL slept with her. Had he not, he'd have ZERO to worry about. NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH.....he could laugh in her face just as if a perfect stranger walked up to you and said the same thing. But IF he did sleep with her, then he is automatically wrong on atleast ONE count, maybe two now. Do you think his wife is gonna care that she is lying about the baby if she is telling the truth about sleeping with him??? NOPE. She's gonna beat his ass anyway. Why??? Because he did something WRONG ANYWAY, baby or not. Get it???

So your boy was wrong for the simple fact that he PUT himself IN the situation to be sued or to lose sponsor or to look like a dog in heat or whatever else comes his way. If he hadn't put himself there, there's no way of them getting to his hard earned money. See that? THAT IS THE POINT. Forget that she ended up being 14. Forget if she wanted it or not. If you don't open the door, they can't just walk in. Right?

These entertainers have so much money, but little brains.

Ok, Kobe was in the same room and yea maybe he fucked her. BUT, was it considered rape how the girl had said? Hadn't she fucked like 1-2 or more guys just before that? Didn't they find multiple semen samples in her panties? Why is it so hard for you to understand that everyone is just out for money and they're going to get it the easiest way possible, such as taking advantage of a superstar. Like you said, Akon is an entertainer. He loves his music and loves what he does. His music gets people dancing at a club. Is he just supposed to sit on a chair like if he was doing a show on MTV Unplugged?

Actually, he was an actual sponsored artist from Verizon. He was getting mucho dinero. Not to mention the favt that Verizon was sponsoring the Gwen/Akon tour(he opened up for her). They pulled the sponsorship after the incident. He was a feature artist and he was to be a spokeman for them. Later, QD.

Then I will retract that statement. I wasn't informed about that

[Jaimecbr900]

Like I said before, the only people that really have a problem with it are the people who don't buy or listen to the music to begin with.

Then I guess you have comprehension defecits because I was clear in that I buy music, I bought his last album plus others that have HIM in it, and I certainly have a problem with what he did. Am I gonna lose sleep over it? Hell no. Am I going to picket him and boycott him? Hell no. Do I think it was cool what he did?? Big HELL no.

It's not offensive what he did, believe me, you see that type of shit in clubs all the time.

Yall keep bringing up clubs like it's the same thing. It's not.

I could care less if Akon wanted to pull his pecker out and jizz all over the front row during his concert. That's his business. But he also has to man up and realize that when he jizzes all over the front row it may make HIM feel better but it may piss off someone else. So now, I ask you again to use logic. WHO has MORE to lose by jizzing on the front row??? Akon with his millions or someone on the front row looking to get paid???? DUHHHH.

The question then is: WHO is the bigger dumbass in that situation??? The person wanting to get paid or the millionaire celebrity that was stupid enough to put himself IN that situation in the first place??? I know the answer, do you?

Hahahahahaha his Verizon contract Have you ever seen Akon on a Verizon commercial? Is he a spokesman for Verizon? Shit no. He's like EVERY OTHER ARTIST on a wireless providers ringtone list.

You think Verizon, Cingular, Sprint, Tmobile, Alltel, Metro, etc are going to pay EVERY artist they have on their ringtone list millions of dollars?

I guess the laugh's on you now that you've found out he was making bank with Verizon and may lose it, huh?

Did I ever say anything about it being cool?

Yes, by defending his actions that's exactly what you are implying.

What about rock concerts that start mosh pits and end up with people getting their asses beat and sometimes dead? Should we ban all of their music from wireless providers ringtone lists? Should Hot 107.9 in New York make a big ass discussion about how that genre of music promotes violence?

If they have in those mosh pits girls from the age of 0 to 200 that are getting hurt unnecessarily, then I'd say absolutely the same thing. I'd say the band was a bunch of retards for letting it happen. I'd say that the people hurting the women were retarded. I'd say that if they had sponsors endorsing them they'd probably need to re-evaluate their position. Yes, I damn well would say the exact same thing IF the situation was the same where a female was being man handled unnecessarily and the "artist" was stupid enough to let it happen.

Wrong. That's your image of a millionaire. Not everyone is going to do things HOW YOU WANT THEM TO. And just b/c they aren't doing it YOUR way isn't a reason for YOU to bash them.

I'm not bashing anyone for being a millionaire. I'm bashing you, him, and anyone else who supports ANYONE (including millionaires) that is so obviously stupid as to place themselves in the line of fire and then complaining about it. So you're right, they can do anything the damn well please, but they also can deal with the consequences. Don't manhandle some young girl up on stage to get your rocks off and then puss out and say it was ALL her fault.

What audience are you talking about?! Look at everyone that likes Akon in here, THEY'RE STILL ALL SUPPORTING HIM!! And they're going to CONTINUE to support him. Everyone knows it's just another case of some stupid ass female trying to take advantage of a well known star. His audience are going to still listen and BUY his music.

They don't buy his music, they don't put money in his pocket, he doesn't give 2 shits about them or what they think.

I said before, that says more about you and his supporters than it does about him. He's got an excuse, what's yours?

And you're wrong again....when he loses his Verizon contract......do you think ALL the execs listen to Akon's music or buy it? Doubt it. Do they have a chance to screw up his life??? Yep. Same with that young girl. Does it matter if she ever buys another Akon record? No. Can she make his life a PITA??? Absolutely. Which is more important now???

You have the same mentality that most "artists" have. "Ima eat today while I can and fuck the rest of yall and fuck the future...." Well, fine, do what you want and screw up your own future earnings. Very smart. Good for you. Music is cyclical. It comes and it goes. What's hot today is old school tomm. You may be able to pack a stadium today, but what about tomm? Look at Michael Jackson. He can't even be on a Cracker Jack box now. Multi, Multi, Multi millionaire before he started screwing up his own life by making poor decisions that impacted his career and all but ended it. The "King of Pop" wasn't he? Just yesterday he could do no wrong. Just yesterday he was sitting on top of the world with everything and everybody at his beck and call. Now....what is he??? Butt of jokes, a freak, a loner.....why??? Because of BAD choices he made.

I guess you ran out of answers and things to say

If you honestly think that I could ever run out of things to say, you haven't been reading my posts very well.

You might buy a little 50 cent here and there, a little g-unit here and then, maybe, MAYBE some Dr. Dre, and I really doubt that. You aren't REALLY into that kind of music. Once more, you are someone who's opinion Akon isn't really going to give a shit about.

You don't know shit about me my friend. I was buying records when they were real records, vinyl. I may not be hardcore into listening to that genre of music, but I'm far from a newbie at the game. Matter of fact, I did a photoshoot with Lil' Jon just this past week. I guess he's not hardcore either. How bout Yung Joc? Jazee Pha? I've been lucky enough to have dealt with all of them one-on-one and learned quite a few things I must admit. So, don't sit there all smug because you have a bigger rap and R&B CD collection than me that I some how don't know shit about "the scene". I know enough to form an opinion. I know enough to be a consumer. That's dangerous enough aint it. So if Akon don't give a shit about my opinion, cool no skin off my back.

He may be a little on the crazy side, but everyone still loves Mike.

A little???

Did MJ's career go up or down due to controversy? Answer that and then tell me again just who's crazy.

Ok, Kobe was in the same room and yea maybe he fucked her. BUT, was it considered rape how the girl had said? Hadn't she fucked like 1-2 or more guys just before that? Didn't they find multiple semen samples in her panties?

Is he just supposed to sit on a chair like if he was doing a show on MTV Unplugged?

You have that mentality. So do the majority of entertainers.

So why is it that you would put YOURSELF into a situation where you are caught with your pants down IF by your admission you KNOW what they're trying to do????? Who's the real idiot in that situation then????

Again, you can justify all their bad choices from here to eternity....doesn't change the FACT that they are BAD CHOICES and THEY had some control over it the majority of the time. Who's the bigger fool? The one trying to get one over on you, or YOU for letting them when you KNOW they're trying???? Answer that.

Quit justifying this guy's idiocy. He just put himself in a position where HE could get hurt. He's an the idiot then. Bigger than the girl, bigger than her sneaking in under age, bigger than her parents not keeping tabs. All have a part in it, but HE is the biggest one. BUT FOR THE FACT that he acted like a dog in heat up on stage, this would not be happening....right or wrong? So then, who should hold more responsability. He would not be in the position he's in had he chosen one of his dancers, who he's probably doing anyway, to dry hump all over the stage. Think about it....all of this over a dry freaking hump. I hope she was worth it. I hated dry humping, so I don't see what he sees in it anyway......

[speedminded]

jeeze jaime, is that all you have to say? slackers these days

Am I gonna lose sleep over it? Hell no. Am I going to picket him and boycott him? Hell no. Do I think it was cool what he did?? Big HELL no.

Speak for yourself when you talk about comprehension defecits. Your the one who can't seem to understand that I am not saying him dry humping a girl on stage is cool. If that's what he wants to do, let him be. Would I ever do that? Shit no. But that doesn't mean i'm not gonna be like damn man that's fucked up. Hey maybe thats not our thing but it's his.

Yall keep bringing up clubs like it's the same thing. It's not.

I could care less if Akon wanted to pull his pecker out and jizz all over the front row during his concert. That's his business.

It is the samething. What happens when you go to a club? You listen to music and do whatever it is you do. What happens when you go to a concert? The samething except that the music you are listening to is live. I bet you Akon would be doing the samething at a club, even if he wasn't a star/millionaire. Now, jizzing on the front row is just gross I'm pretty sure I can speak for everyone by saying that it would piss everyone off. But he didn't jizz on anybody. Your not comparing red apples with red apples. Your comparing red apples to green apples. Almost the samething, but not quite

I guess the laugh's on you now that you've found out he was making bank with Verizon and may lose it, huh?

No, not really. Did you forget about Convict Records? Verizon isn't gonna be what's making him all the money. Wow, he might of had his picture on their website. I can guarantee the main reason Verizon sponsored his tour was to get their name out to the public and to benefit themselves and to sell more phones

Yes, by defending his actions that's exactly what you are implying.

No, it's just that you hear too much about people trying to take advantage of artists and athletes. How would you like it if, for example, you were a multi-millionaire and your son who is, let's say, 18, is going out with a girl who is 17 and lives with a middle class family and they have sex, her parents find out, and they try sueing you for it? I imagine you'd be very excited about it and punish your kid for doing what every other kid is doing. And then you'd be super happy to pay up

If they have in those mosh pits girls from the age of 0 to 200 that are getting hurt unnecessarily, then I'd say absolutely the same thing. I'd say the band was a bunch of retards for letting it happen. I'd say that the people hurting the women were retarded. I'd say that if they had sponsors endorsing them they'd probably need to re-evaluate their position. Yes, I damn well would say the exact same thing IF the situation was the same where a female was being man handled unnecessarily and the "artist" was stupid enough to let it happen.

BUT, you what if the girls intentionally put themselves into the mosh pit, kinda like how the girl, intentionally got on stage? If those girls got substantially hurt, who's fault would it be?

I'm not bashing anyone for being a millionaire. I'm bashing you, him, and anyone else who supports ANYONE (including millionaires) that is so obviously stupid as to place themselves in the line of fire and then complaining about it. So you're right, they can do anything the damn well please, but they also can deal with the consequences. Don't manhandle some young girl up on stage to get your rocks off and then puss out and say it was ALL her fault.

It wasn't manhandling. Sorry you haven't been to the clubs in a while, but you see that type of shit EVERYWHERE. Believe me, I saw Akon at a concert myself, 1 week before this incident happened, when he was in South Padre, Texas for Spring Break . And once again you bring up the fact that she was a young girl. How in the hell was he supposed to know? You really can't blame him for that. And you know you don't want to blame him for that, b/c in reality, he had no way of knowing how old she was. But I understand why you keep bringing it up, b/c if he had known she was 14 and still went along with it, then yes, that would of been a really bad situation.

I said before, that says more about you and his supporters than it does about him. He's got an excuse, what's yours?

And you're wrong again....when he loses his Verizon contract......do you think ALL the execs listen to Akon's music or buy it? Doubt it. Do they have a chance to screw up his life??? Yep. Same with that young girl. Does it matter if she ever buys another Akon record? No. Can she make his life a PITA??? Absolutely. Which is more important now???

You have the same mentality that most "artists" have. "Ima eat today while I can and fuck the rest of yall and fuck the future...." Well, fine, do what you want and screw up your own future earnings. Very smart. Good for you. Music is cyclical. It comes and it goes. What's hot today is old school tomm. You may be able to pack a stadium today, but what about tomm? Look at Michael Jackson.

Butt of jokes, a freak, a loner.....why??? Because of BAD choices he made.

What would I need an excuse for? I'm not gonna dry hump some girl at a concert or a club. But that's no reason for me to call the authorities when I see someone doing it.

So the Verizon execs are really gonna mess up his life? I guarantee you they could give 2 shits about him too. They'll just move on and look for someone else. Why would they spend the companies time and money on Akon? As far as the girl making Akon's life a PITA, look at the girl that tried to sue Kobe. What happened to that girl as soon as the media found out all the facts? The girl never even showed her face and as soon as the multiple semen samples were found, she shut up, and quit bitching about the whole situation, and took whatever was offered.

Exactly, the music industry is a cyclical cycle. They can get be replaced the next day at any minute, so why not go out and enjoy it while you can, because in the end, your going to be replaced anyway

If you honestly think that I could ever run out of things to say, you haven't been reading my posts very well.

Then don't try to answer to something by saying BS

You don't know shit about me my friend. I was buying records when they were real records, vinyl. I may not be hardcore into listening to that genre of music, but I'm far from a newbie at the game. Matter of fact, I did a photoshoot with Lil' Jon just this past week. I guess he's not hardcore either. How bout Yung Joc? Jazee Pha? I've been lucky enough to have dealt with all of them one-on-one and learned quite a few things I must admit. So, don't sit there all smug because you have a bigger rap and R&B CD collection than me that I some how don't know shit about "the scene". I know enough to form an opinion. I know enough to be a consumer. That's dangerous enough aint it. So if Akon don't give a shit about my opinion, cool no skin off my back.

So now name-dropping is gonna make you seem like a more reliable source? Is this gonna turn into a I know, you know discussion? We can go on all day talking about who we've met, is that gonna change anything?

A little???

Haha, I meant that in a very sensitive way

Did MJ's career go up or down due to controversy? Answer that and then tell me again just who's crazy.

MJ's career was already over before the whole children thing happened, we all know that.

You have that mentality. So do the majority of entertainers.

So why is it that you would put YOURSELF into a situation where you are caught with your pants down IF by your admission you KNOW what they're trying to do????? Who's the real idiot in that situation then????

Again, you can justify all their bad choices from here to eternity....doesn't change the FACT that they are BAD CHOICES and THEY had some control over it the majority of the time. Who's the bigger fool? The one trying to get one over on you, or YOU for letting them when you KNOW they're trying???? Answer that.

Quit justifying this guy's idiocy. He just put himself in a position where HE could get hurt. He's an the idiot then. Bigger than the girl, bigger than her sneaking in under age, bigger than her parents not keeping tabs. All have a part in it, but HE is the biggest one. BUT FOR THE FACT that he acted like a dog in heat up on stage, this would not be happening....right or wrong? So then, who should hold more responsability. He would not be in the position he's in had he chosen one of his dancers, who he's probably doing anyway, to dry hump all over the stage. Think about it....all of this over a dry freaking hump. I hope she was worth it. I hated dry humping, so I don't see what he sees in it anyway......

Yes a lot of people have the same mentality that people are always out trying to screw artists and athletes over. Why? Because it's been proven over and over again. It happens waaaaaaaay too much. It's not just a rare event. Akon didn't make a BAD CHOICE. He made a choice, that ended up turning bad. Get the difference?

It's not defending his idiocity. I guarantee you if he had done this with a girl over age, it wouldn't of been nearly as bad, especially if the over age girl hadn't pressed charges. Hell if he had done this with an 18+ girl, you would of probably never heard of it. And the fact that she's 14 WOULD change things, ONLY IF he had known her age. She was somewhere she wasn't supposed to be, where only adults are at, and everyone here can agree that she looks nowhere NEAR 14.

If I go to a strip club, and I toss a girl a $20 and she lets me slap her on the ass, then I get arrested b/c it turns out that the girl had given the strip club a fake age and was only 16, who's to punish? Sure as fuck not me, i'm at a strip club where everyone has to be 21+

You see all types of shit happen at concerts. Like the one guy who said Destiny Child gave some dude a lap dance. Why didn't the media make a big deal about it, especially since they were supposed to be so innocent? B/c it really isn't a big deal, until someone wants to get rich off of someone else's wealth
