Akon in Concert
Akon will be in court starting in December on charges of second-degree harassment and endangering the welfare of a mior stemming from an incident at a New York concert. The fan claimed that Akon threw him off the stage at a 2007 concert, causing another fan to suffer a concussion. Rather than seeking a plea deal, Akon requested his lawyer seek a jury trial so he could attempt to clear his record.
Hailing from Senegal, Akon hit the scene in 2004 with his hit Locked Up and earned a Grammy for his second album Konvicted featuring the single Smack That. In addition to his solo career, Akon is a producer who has worked on hundreds of albums through his Konvict Muzik label.
