NEW YORK -- Akon, under fire for doing a sexually explicit dance onstage with a 14-year-old girl, has offered an apology to the teen and anyone else who was offended by the display.

Akon, whose hits include "Don't Matter," "I Wanna Love You" with Snoop Dogg and "Smack That" with Eminem, was videotaped simulating sex with a girl invited onstage as part of his act during an April 12 concert in Trinidad. After the video was circulated widely on the Internet, it was revealed that she was 14.

Since the incident, Verizon has pulled out as a sponsor of his tour with Gwen Stefani, for whom he wrote the hit "The Sweet Escape."

In a statement released Wednesday to The Associated Press, Akon, 34, said he was sorry for the incident but also said he didn't know the girl was underage.

"I want to sincerely apologize for the embarrassment and any pain I've caused to the young woman who joined me onstage, her family and the Trinidad community for the events at my concert," Akon said.

"It was never my intention to embarrass or take advantage of my fans in any way, especially those under the age of 18. That is why we tried to make sure that the club did not admit anyone under 18 in the audience," he said. "Somehow, that standard was not met."

Akon's latest album, "Konvicted," has sold more than 1 million copies in the United States.

Not at all.

No, no she did not. And I think he has a valid argument when he says

"It was never my intention to embarrass or take advantage of my fans in any way, especially those under the age of 18. That is why we tried to make sure that the club did not admit anyone under 18 in the audience. Somehow, that standard was not met."

Also, thesuperficial.com says:

"The girl is either 14 or 15 depending on what news source you're reading. I don't know which to believe so I'm going with the one that sounds right in my heart: 8."

it's funny what people will pay like $30 (I'm guessing) to go see though. Judging by the dearth of "Akon freakin' some ho" videos on youtube, seems like he just ferociously dry humps women at each show.

What do you do if you're in the crowd? Say, "Oh shit! Look! Idiocy!" and wait for something entertaining to happen?

I don't know.

When I was 14...

jesus christ I can't believe I'm going to admit this.

But when I was 14 I went to CA to visit my grandparents in Apple Valley CA.

I ended up heading to San Diego for a night with their neighbor to see W.A.S.P.

Halfway through the set I got pulled up onstage by Chris Holmes and Blackie Lawless dry humped me the exact same way for about seven minutes straight. He kept going long after I had messed my pants.
