Akon Throws Fan Off Stage, Police Investigating
This time, he did more than smack that.
He frickin' threw that. Clear off the stage.
Alleged musician Akon may face police questioning after he chucked a fan from the stage into the crowd during a concert... an incident he can't really deny, since it's documented on video. See below.
Detective Lt. John Berlingieri of the Fishkill, N.Y., Police said officers were looking for the young man at the Sunday concert who was plucked from the audience by a security guard, directed up to the stage, then literally thrown back into the crowd by Akon, the Poughkeepsie Journal reports.
"We're trying to identify that kid, just to find out whether or not we have any kind of criminal offense," Berlingieri told the paper.
"We are looking to speak to him. No victim. No crime."
The fan-tossing took place at WSPK (104.7 FM)'s annual KFEST concert after someone in the crowd threw an object past Akon. A video showing the man being hurled from the stage has widely circulated on the Internet.
Reps for the collaborator of Gwen Stefani and Snoop Dogg, among others, couldn't be immediately be reached for comment.
This was the latest controversy involving the oft-troubled singer, whose Konvicted album has sold more than 1 million copies.
He lost his concert sponsor, Verizon, after another video hit the Internet showing Akon simulating sex acts with a 14-year-old girl in Trinidad at a concert of his.
There's another side to this jailbait tale, of course.
The girl, later identified as Danah Alleyne, was discovered on MySpace, and found to have lied about her age to get into the show... and by the looks of some of the racy photos of the incident, appeared to enjoy the special Akon "treatment."
Anyway. Here's the video of Akon throwing the fan off stage, including the prelude to the toss, as well clips of the launch from multiple angles ...

Akon is lucky that young man did not break his neck or die he was singing he was locked up he will be someones butt bitch if he killed that kid.
Everyone says don't drop the soap that would have to be said on a regular basis and he would have to fight the brothers off his booty for sure they love meat like that they would of passed him like a carton of ciggies in cell block c.
Everything has cause and effect to him he could of been messing around and joking but tossing some one in a crowd hoping they would catch that person is highly unlikely. If he was or was not caught in mid air the security of the concert grounds should of did something to protect that child.
That child is a child not a adult and not a star on WWE. If Akon wants a career in wrestling join WWE. As for the 14 or 15 year old girl possessively roughly humped on stage and dragged around she is a child no matter if she faked her age or not.
Kids any more want so badly to be adults it kills them they want to

Maybe the kid threw something by accident? How the hell can that be possible? You're the dumb ass, "Reality", someone should throw you under a bus :)

Akon's an dumbass, you never ever throw a kid of 15 years old, especially when he's a fan , maybe that kid throw that object by accident , some people say that Akon is the one who's right is really an idiot or just trying to protect Akon because they are big fans, but be serious, you just never ever throw a kid off the stage and after say " Now we can start the party!" . Be realistic .

although i really like the guy, i have to admit that my opinion about him changed completely. you cant just throw someone off a stage, even if you'r a big celebrity loaded with cash to cover your as*. especially a 15 year old kid.

Why isn't anyone bringing up the fact the the guy attacked Akon first? Not justifying akon's actions, but stop attacking Akon without looking at the WHOLE situation. Maybe next time that guy will think about throwing someone on stage at a concert. Anyway, who cares? Don't we all have bigger issues to worry about besides what the stars are doing?

Somehow I feel that if Akon had been the one thrown, Tommy and Kailah would have a differnet opinions. I'll tell you what. Let me throw you from a six foot high stage riser into a crowd and see if that doesn't alter your opinion. Don't peddle your bull*hit comments. It's America. You can't blatently assault someone in such circumstances and not expect severe reprecussion. Bottom line is the kid has every right to sue. Someone assaulted him and that's against the law. Remember the law? It's one of the key ingriedients in our society that helps to keep order, keep people safe from flying bodies, and; oh yeah, let's people post whatever comments they like, no matter how ignorant.
