The world of etiquette is a tricky one to navigate sometimes. Take Akon, for example – last month he spent a full minute of a concert in Trinidad violently dry-humping the 15-year-old daughter of a pastor, which some circles see as quite the faux pas.
And thanks to the wonders of YouTube, videos of Akon furiously pumping his groin against a child's crotch were seen around the world within minutes. This Akon humping video has dismayed Verizon Communications, which quickly pulled out of sponsoring Akon's Sweet Escape tour with Gwen Stefani, and now Akon has issued a humble apology over the matter. From now on, Akon says the only daughters of pastors that he'll disturbingly mimic violent sexual intercourse with in front of thousands of screaming fans will be at least 18 years old where available.
Akon has never been as popular as he is now. It's now been made law that all TV shows and radio stations aren't allowed to go more than 15 minutes without playing Akon going "woo-hoo" all over that new Gwen Stefani song, plus his latest album has sold over two million copies in America alone. That's not bad for man previously most famous for making up lies about Eminem.
And how did Akon go about celebrating his new-found fame? Opening a cheeky bottle of champagne? No. Buying himself a nice car? No. Going onstage in Trinidad and dry-humping a teenage pastor's daughter while a bunch of people video the act to put on YouTube? Yes, that one. There's every chance you'll have seen Akon humping underage pastor's daughter Deena Alleyne by now but, hey, here it is again…
Akon's tour sponsor Verizon Communications was as shocked as anybody else when it saw the Akon humping video – it'd rather be known as the company with the bad wireless broadband customer service record than the company that pays for grown men to mimic sex with minors – and so it removed itself from sponsoring the tour, headlined by Gwen Stefani. And now, as Reuters reports, Akon is all apologetic over the incident:
"First, and most important to me, I want to sincerely apologize for the embarrassment and any pain I've caused to the young woman who joined me on-stage, her family and the Trinidad community for the events at my concert in Port of Spain on April 12th… It was never my intention to embarrass or take advantage of my fans in any way, especially those under the age of 18. That is why we tried to make sure that the club did not admit anyone under 18 in the audience. Somehow, that standard was not met."
Although being filmed dry-humping a child will be endlessly embarrassing – not to mention financially damaging – for Akon, at least one upside is that the video has made him more famous than ever before. Maybe Akon will learn his lesson and stick to simulating sex on underage girls instead of wasting his time by singing useless high-pitched songs about how bloody lonely he is all the time.

Ah, so THAT’s how you do it.
Right, who wants a bit?
The under age girl had no business in a club.
Just for clarification …. the headline “Akon Sorry For Dry-Humping Underage Pastor’s Daughter” infers that the the Pastor is underage.. and that would really be a creepy story.. how old could the daughter be?
Headline should read Akon Sorry For Dry-Humping Pastor’s Underage Daughter
Well if R Kelly can do it why can’t Akon? The chipmunnk sounding wankface.
so that behaviour would have been acceptable if she was over 18????
Ok, I have a daughter….WHAT THE F*** was she at the age of 15 doing in a 18/21 age limit club???? And she is a pastors daughter???? YOU do know where your child is at that age, she is still living under your roof and it is your duty as a parent to know where they are at all times, until they are out taking care of their own self!!!!! I am no big fan of Akon, but I will say I like some of the songs, but here I do not think it is right how people are trying to be so “publicly correct” and “politically correct” Look at the F’n fact, a 15yr old should not have been let in to the club to begin with!!!
Damn strait that little girl should be embarrassed because she knows better!
I think YOU SHOULD ALL STOP BLAMING AKON, THE GIRL WAS THE ONE IN THE WRONG HE WASNT TO KNOW, SHE CAUSED ALL OF THIS TROUBLE.
BUT THEN AGAIN, HU WUDNT DANCE WITH AKON LIKE DAT IF THEY HAD THE CHANCE?
I WOULD.
IM 14.
I WOULD’NT MAKE IT WORLD WIDE NEWS THO, WE WOULD HAVE GONE BACK 2 HIS ROOM AND HAD A 3SUM.
SO WHAT?
SHIT HAPPENS.
GOOD ON THA GIRL BUT YOU CANT BLAME AKON.

like what? have you had sex?
dat underage girl suddent been there so its her fault and not akons
Your Honor, I submit that it was not rape, if she had not been there my penis would not have been inside her vagina. It is her fault.
the parent was not responsible enough to find out where the child was and did not call the parent house where the child went to stay ………..the parent was totally to blame
i think you are responsible for it
that child is 15 years old!!! ….she shouldnt be at the club in the first place and I think shes old enough to decide wether or not she wanted akon to dry-hump her…..plz ppl be real how many young teenagers are having sex by the age of 14….personally i find it stupid because most of them r doin it just to stay at the same level as their friends….
Wait, she’s not old enough to be at a club but she IS old enough for dry-humping by some twat with a record deal?
Please, steph, enlighten me with your all-powerful understanding of ages of consent, because personally, I find you stupid.
Do people know Ghetto speech is made fun of even more then lets say the mullet. Why do they think its remotely cool. Especially when white people to it.
A 15yr old child isn’t old enough for a grown man to rub his penis on her vagina even with a little fabric in between. No one likes seeing anyone dry-humping no matter what thier age is…but when your really ugly to begin with…..
She deserves to be embarassed, i hope all her classmates made fun of her and rejected her, haha
oh btw, unce unce unce unce unce unce unce unce u-u-u-u-unce unce
It is akon’s fault, he had no right to do that, she is only a young girl and he took advantage of her, granted, she shouldn’t have been there in the 1st place, however this behaviour would not have been acceptable even if she was over 18, no one with any dignity behaves that way in public, he is an adult and should know better.
