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 …
