So apparently American rapper Akon performed at a nightclub in Trinidad sometime last week, and somehow ended up simulating sex onstage with a member of the audience.
The buzz around the ‘net is that he got girls (the one in the video and a few others) on stage by telling them that they would be participating in a dance competition, with the prize being a trip to Senegal (Akon is of Senegalese heritage); reportedly he later admitted that the contest was a farce and that there was no prize on offer (apart from, of course, the awesome privilege of engaging in violent frottage with Akon in front of hundreds of people). It is also rumoured that the girl involved is only 14 years old.
See video here. And read Trinidad Express coverage.
I’ve been to plenty (well, enough) fetes and soca/reggae shows and I’ve seen revellers at Kadooment and thing, so believe me, I’ve seen raunchy, but that isn’t just raunchy, that is brutal and scary.
