First, I must apologise on behalf of DiS for bringing you this news so late. This week - like any other, really - has seen myriad misdemeanours committed by those gathered under MTV's 'hip-hop' umbrella. So initially allegations that Akon had manhandled a fan didn't really strike us as interesting - but, typically, the devil was in the detail.
The incident under investigation by local police was caught on the camera phones owned by members of the audience at the Dutchess Stadium in New York.
The videos show a fan hurl what has been described as "a piece of pretzel" at the singer as he gets ready to launch into another one of his dog-pitched warbles. Akon stops, turns around and asks the crowd to identify the source of the missile.
After being grassed up by his peers, the pretzel-thrower is dragged up onstage by security and Akon removes his shirt and chain before grabbing the boy and throwing him over his shoulder back off the stage and into the crowd.
Soon, Akon starts to worry - rightly so, perhaps, after he lost his licence to tour in Trinidad over footage that showed him simulating sex with a 14-year-old girl onstage back in April.
No charges have been brought as yet, apparently. DiS will keep you posted. Perhaps.
you totally missed out the youtube links.

was
it a protest against AKON's over baked r and b crap?
I've never understood
why people throw stuff at people on stage. It's spoiling it for the fans who just want to hear the music.
if anything...
...i condone throwing stuff at artists if it equals them performing a macho man randy savage-style bench press on hecklers.
Unless
Its a bottle of piss heading towards Johnny Borrell, which I fully condone.
What an
absolute cunt.
And also, in regard to the crowd, what an absolute bunch of cunts.
Except for the poor pretzel throwing bloke of course.
Look at the crowd
they lap it up. Bunch of heathen's. Moronic jackasses.
I just repeated exactly what the guy above me stated
Whoops
What an arsehole.
But still, a pretty impressive throw. He must have launched him at least 5 metres. All that excersise in the prison yard obviously paid off.
he deserves to have his pants sued off
i'm guessing he has a lot of pent up aggression from having an acorn sized penis and then being stupid enough to advertise the fact. Plus he's about as gangsta as my deceased gran. And his music willingly engorges donkey chode
In short, Akon = penisfarmer
LOOOLLZ
at penisfarmer! what a brilliant insult.
but yeah akon? what is he? i dont know what he is.
"throw meee...
...why don't you throw meeee"
always wondered what the hell he was singing about...
Akon is the new
...
Cunt. Crowd of cunts. Pretzel throwing cunt.
That type of concert needs to be firebombed.
well
i can't have a go at dis for reporting this, it is entertaining
but no-one else comes out of this looking sentient.
That picture
reminds me of the slapping game
I love that slapping game
but I'm a wuss and always move my hands away too quick.
nice to see someone who throws stuff at 'artists'
get thrown several feet.
akon quits music to join WWE?
OH MA GOD!
HE'S HAD HIS BRAINS KNOCK OUT BY THE STEEL CHAIR! HE IS LITERALLY BROKEN IN HALF!!!
the guy who threw the pretzel
is a true American hero. akon sucks so bad.
Akon
should come to Reading Festival, we'd show him all about throwing things on stage.
The great pre Offpring bottle war of '99
The bottling of OPM
The bottling of DAfny and Celeste
The bottling of Good Charlotte
The bottling of The Rasmus
The bottling of 50 Cent, that was my fave as he fought back with full bottles and got his whole crew involved, great great fun!
MCR
last year
oh and Panic at the disco!
i hate myself for not seeing that
whizz
i hear when you take speed you get blue akon.
.
lots of sympathy for the pretzel guy, he probably just got dragged there by his girlfriend and did what most people would do. though akon - what a cunt, surely he's kind of inciting the crowd to turn on the guy? granted its not exactly a slipknot gig but still...
he should sue obviously. its the american way.
