Wow, I don't know anything about that guy or his genre, but he is under 
indictment right now for picking up some poor adolescent kid over his head 
on stage at a show in my area, and throwing him, pretty forcefully, all the 
way to the ground. It was a big deal in the papers when it happened. Maybe 
he'll be Mr. Lonely pretty soon.

If anyone wants to see this vid, and hear the incredible "Alvin Vinton" 
loop, go here:

If you want to see the "incident" it's here:

A version that's somehow turned sideways shows that it wasn't "in the heat 
of the show." The kid may have said or done something without Akon hearing 
it, because he asks people to point the guy out, and then sends his stage 
security guys to go get the kid and bring him up to the stage.
