that is true, but then i saw one of the posters comments, and their logic did make sense. The poster said she just covered herself by saying she was disgusted by Akons actions because she didnt want to upset her father or get in trouble. but i mean really, what was she doing at this 18+ concert anyways, something tells me she did want it to happen. where theres smoke, theres always a fire. still though, i think akon was wrong for his actions. this is in no way a positive image for hip hop these days. I had to be 18 to get into a Josh Kelley show, my friend who wanted to go was 17, but they wouldn't admit her, it wasn't because the artists, it was because of the venue. She could be a huge Akon fan and love to see him live, but not meet the requirements of the venue. yeah i know that people are able to sneak into these things, but im just saying that i dont think she is genuinly telling the truth when she said she didnt want to be apart of it. she probably didnt think her father would find out, but when he did, she needed to think of an excuse quicktimes.

She knew what it was for. He made an announcement on what it was about and the prize. The little trick just wanted the free trip to Africa that was being offered to the winner.

I like him as much as I did before. I don't think he did anything intentionally wrong. Motive does matter here....Wow, maybe motives do matter in potentially criminal cases. hmmm....that's an arguement for another thread in a completely different topic in a completely different room.

^I guess when you get sick of hearing someone on the radio and they don't stop making good music and putting it out right away it's time to start mud slinging to get them off the radio.

thats so unfair to say. people do what he did all the time in private. are there any confirmations that the club was supposed to be 18+? if thats the case, then I think all these allegations that he's sick because she was underrage should be dropped because he would not have known better.

I brought up Imus when I asked, Don Imus has a track record of comments that were deemed inappropriate over MANY years. Akon did one action. If I called you a Dirty Country Cracka B!tch on national TV would you say my action was worst or equal to Akon's action? LOL, but seriously this is ridiculous. The owners should be held liable--not Akon. And why is her so called religious father not remprimanding his child for being dressed so provactively for a 14 year old???

That's the difference here, isn't it? I have no problem with people doing this on their own time, but publicly, it's disgusting.

While I understand the reason gpduke thought this might warrant its own thread, and appreciate that he thought it out before posting, I do think this belongs in the regular Akon thread.
