Akon reveals body found at Eminem video shoot

Akon tells MTV that a dead body was found in a derelict LA hotel where he and Eminem filmed the video for Smack That.

Akon has revealed that a dead body was found at the location in LA where he and Eminem were recently filming a promo for their upcoming release 'Smack That'. The pair were shooting the video at a derelict hotel in the city, and Akon says that there was a bit of a spooky vibe, vibes which proved founded as a body was subsequently found in the building. That said, there generally is a spooky vibe in derelict buildings, really, so don't go getting excited and thinking Akon's psychic or something.

Anyway, he told MTV: "Some weird stuff was happening that whole weekend. I think it was a haunted hotel or something. Man, that whole weekend was just dark, but the results were incredible. A dead body was found on the floor under us the next day. A real dead body. I was like, 'wow!' It was mad that we were right above that body just wiling out, just 'smackin', that's crazy!"
