Promoters of that Akon gig where the R&B star reportedly attacked two female audience members have said he did no such thing, and that video footage that implied he did was misinterpreted.
As previously reported, reports last week suggested Akon crowd surfed to a podium at a concert in Guyana and, on finding two girls dancing on said podium, hit one and then pushed both of them off the mini-stage. A video on the net seemed to show the girls trying to hug the singer, and him lashing out in response. But another video that has been released seems to show that wasn't the case, and that Akon actually danced with the girls.
Promoters Hits and Jam Entertainment told Gigwise: "There were no incident reports stemming from the event. Despite a late start, the concert was a tremendous success and we hope that Akon will come back soon".
It's possible the original video was edited to look unfavourable coming, as it did, in the week it was confirmed Akon would stand trial for allegedly throwing a fan off the stage at a New York concert last year.
