Some of you may know Akon from such memorable moments as “Thug Rapper Dry Humps 14-Year-Old Girl On Stage in Trinidad Then Runs Off, Presumably, To Spank It,” and some of you know him for his music (he has music?).
Ordinarily we don’t post much about Senegalese hip-hoppers, so there’s gotta be an anecdote here, no? There is. If you haven’t seen this fine story yet, one of the many 100-pound pipsqueaks thay typically make up hip hop crowds tossed a little giveaway disc at Akon during his set at KFEST on Sunday, only to be dragged on stage by Akon’s security and, well, I’ll let the video take it from here. I’m pretty sure I saw Bill Nershi do this at a String Cheese Incident show once.

I smell a race-based lawsuit…
Wow! Whats the over under on the $$$ he gets in settlement for that toss? I am going with $200k.
Dave No. 8 and I missed you at Page last night. I assume you were there.
I was up in the back by the soundboard…good times, mixed review coming shortly.
Him and his three wives might have to move to a smaller place pretty soon.
Man, you watch that new angle, and not a single person thinks to throw their hands up and catch that kid, they just jump out of the way with their cameras in hand. That would have never happened at a rock concert, poor little gangbanger.
I recall that Billy Nershi show… Dude just does *not* like glow sticks…
Wow. That’s really depressing.
I was there. The kid deserved it. Akon was talkin about respect and stuff and the kid threw that shit on purpose. The kid wasnt hurt, he was actually at the concert for the next 4 hours. He was actually happy that he got so much publicity. Everyone was cheering, they’re taking this whole thing out of context. The police were right there when it happened and they didn’t do anything. Obviously nobody thought it was a crime then.
Thanks for the first-hand account, mathew…not sure anyone here thinks it’s a big crime either, but I bet when he got home his parents told him to put on a neckbrace while they called the lawyers. America!
