I love people who appologize or the things they haven't yet done. Why don't they just decide to not be an ass and then they won't to say they're sorry?

Akon freakin' blows
mstee says – reply to this

So how does he regard the whole scandal on stage?

"I’m sorry for the hand that she was dealt
For the embarrassment that she felt
Just a little young girl trying to have fun
Her daddy should never let her out that young
I’m sorry for Club Zen getting shut down
I hope they manage better next time around
How was I to know she was underage
In a 21 and older club they say
Why doesn’t anybody wanna take blame
Verizon backed out disgracing my name
I’m just a singer trying to entertain"

dont forget to apologize to tara reid, oh yea and also that kid you threw off the stage.
watch out for put the blame on me PART II!
pathetic..

I'm sorry P but I have to differ with you on this one. I am not an expert judge on Vid's but it and the song (esp combined) say/send out some pretty powerful/good/ and very needed messages at this time….song is prob not gonna be a HUGE hit but it is NICE non the less and video is a slow but POWERFUL non the less
Patsy says – reply to this

32

WOW what a terrible vid, Decent message and no big fat euro transgender. Gets my vote for worse. Where you not able to hold him hostage with you blog Perez
(Although your not the one writing anymore) your too buisy doing all the things you condem the celebs or doing.
NANA says – reply to this

33

Perez, did you notice that the ultimate point of Akon's song is to say to that young girl he dry humped on stage, that even though the blame is on her and her and her father, he'll take that blame away….. He is so full of shit and ultimately still not taking responsibility. its not just that she was underage, it was also his disrespect for women and lewd behavior- Not to mention how f#%&ed up it was when he threw the kid off the stage at another concert. This song is not redeeming at all. He is a slime ball. I hope he reads this. PLEASE POST SOMETHING ON HOW UN-APOLOGETIC HIS SONG IS AND WHAT HE SHOULD BE SORRY FOR.
Lovin' Akon says – reply to this

34

Whatever, Akon has an amazing voice and is totally hot. All you haters only wish you could be half of what he is.
Harlz says – reply to this

35

Ahhh, note the line where he tries to place blame on others as well? This guy couldn't spell responsibility if if it was burnt into his hand.

39

It was 100% the clubs fault, as well as the girls and the parents. That girl shouldn't have even been there. I love this song and I'm glad he didn't bend over and take it up the a$$. He's right and he's put it out there.

This is the first song that I LIKE. It's better than those whiney-ass "woe is me" songs.
PEOPLE- you act like everything is PERSONAL and he's done something to you! Get a grip.
FIRST, SECOND and THIRD WTF!?!?!?….elementary school didn't leave you lacking did it? First just means you have NO LIFE…go get one. Perez even has a life beyond the board.

Ummm LEROY….Watch yourself…FOR REAL. Leave that racist shit in the trailer park by the TV sitting on the couch beside the rusted out car in your front yard.

AKON IS A CUNT AND HE GIVES BLACK PEOPLE A BAD NAME.
PEOPLE SHOULD STOP BYING THIS CAPOLA, HIT HIM WHERE IT HURTS, THE POCKET.
Awa says – reply to this

47

He still doesn't get it does he. It's not about the age of the girl but about the VIOLENCE of the way he treated her. Noone should be dry humped on a stage like this, regardless of their age. And the fact that she had accepted to get onstage to *dance* (to dance yes , to get assaulted no) is totally irrelevant. It's similar to saying that a rape is not a rape if the girl had a short skirt or had been making out with the guy before. Total nonsense.
This guy has no respect for women. Nor for kids for that matter. Remember how he threw a kid in the audience just because he had thrown a paper cup at him? Get over yourself you punk!!
If you guys want to listen to good Senegalese hip-hop, listen to Daara J or Positive Black Soul instead, Akon does not deserve to have fans.

Akon sucks.
Think About This... says – reply to this

if the same exact situation applied to any other singer, do u think he would have made a song about it? NO WAY. Akon is showing that he dosnt have a problem with drawing attention to mistakes he's made…

51

i think dis video is great nd perez shld stop hating
Your retarded Perez says – reply to this

52

Don't be mad at him. Damn. No wonder all the celebretards are cracked out freaks. One glance at what Perez says…one of the most inlfuential people in the media…and then they feed off THAT attn. So it's no wonder you'd actually talk shit about the stars that are trying to do GOOD things. You only like the news about who sucking who's dick and smoking that crack pipe. I WAS almost interested in watching you on VH1 perez.. until I realized. I don't like being pursuaded by bad media. You should get some class. I'd never see YOU take blame for shit you didnt do. Precious perez taint his already bad name?? Of course not!
Uma Smith says – reply to this

53

Akon is so lame - issuing an apology does not mean saying "even if the blame's on you, you can put the blame back on me" - he is so dumb he doesn't even know how to say sorry or look like he has any remorse for trying to hump some girl. Even if she wasn't underage that is still bad what's his problem - sexual assault is bad even if you are more than 15 years old!
First btw

people who apologize for "things that haven't occurred yet" are retards
PAUL JAMES says – reply to this

59

Lame and contrived. The 'apology' concept completely constructed and put together by Akon's management & record label to appeal to the mass victim mentality of so many young people of colour. "Hey if I was white you wouldn't have attacked me for fondling that 14 year old girl AND for throwing that child concert goer into the audience". YES WE WOULD HAVE!! Child abuse is child abuse, no matter what colour, creed or gender you are!! Please keep Akon away from the UK. He's not welcome over here!

Laurita says – reply to this

63

Oh yeah huh what about that poor kid he threw off the stage lmao Now that was funny. Fuck Tara Reid she wanted to be dry humped lmao But he could've done a way better casting job. That so-called gangsta was a straight lame. They should've used a hot ass thug. But instead they used a hot ass bald cop! God Damn! He easily could've been the thug! THUG LOVE, BABY!

fashionstar says – reply to this

67

Why make a song to apologize for something you're really not sorry about? All he did was say he was sorry and then not take full responsibility (I'll take the blame, even though the blames on you). No one likes a half-assed apology, I'd respect him more if he didn't apologize at all. What a pig, even if the girl was over 18 he shouldn't go around humping people that he doesn't know. He's disgusting and his shirts are way way too tight. They're hurting me.

The song and video are not bad at all maybe if you listened to the words you would understand the point he is trying to make.
bb says – reply to this

69

How is he saying sorry when at the end he; saying "even though the blames on you"? How is that an apology? And would his dry hump of the girl been okay if she win 22? It was still wrong ! This is so damn dumb!

Ugh. I love Akon, but this video= zzzzzzzzz……
Tammy says – reply to this

Great video..i thought it was good!!
Leela says – reply to this

72

I'm not an Akon fan, BUT if he's at a club for people over the age of 21, he wouldn't really be thinking "geezz…I wonder if she's 14…"

"I’ll take the blame, even though the blames on you"
fashionstar says – reply to this

73

#55 is so right, he's such a effing douchebagl And he has no talent, and he was trying to make it a black thing, I'm black and there's no way you can blame your acting like a skanky animal on the white man. In fact he's only making black men look ten times worse because he such a perv. Quit humping women and girls you don't know and quit throwing kids off the stage. And next time you want to make an I'm sorry song, actually be genuinely sorry, because we know you're going to screw up again.

bnash says – reply to this

how many times do you get to say.. sorry.. the girl and the kid thrown off stage? Gwen should have kicked him off tour- no more excuses. i don't buy his songs and don't buy his apology. DON'T support people who act irresponsibly.
Paige says – reply to this

81

I didn't think it was bad at all…. actually a pretty catchy song and not a horrible video
Brianna says – reply to this

82

Dang PEREZ.
Sorry! Akon has a guilt.
&& If he feels the need to apologize then so be it.
Not everyone out there likes to blog 24/7
and talk shit about people he doesn't even know.
Get a life
Fat Ugly Fuck
Get a better face/body then maybe you can hold the position to talk shit about someone who obviously looks better than yourself.

85

i like the song, but wish there's more to the video
Marj says – reply to this

86

First of all, just because you find him Hot, doesn't mean we all do. Second of all. It's no the fact that she was underage. It's the fact that he would think that if she was 18 it would have been ok. Some dumbass said "if you go to his concerts and listen to his music, you know what you are getting into" so, i've heard his music on the radio, and i've never gone to one of his concerts. That means that if a friend were to invite me to his concert I'd have to assume that if he takes me onstage he's gonna simulate raping me??? He need to realize is not the fact that the girl was 14. You don't do that to anybody. Period. unless that person explicitely said it'd be ok. But there's no way to get permission in the middle of a concert so just DON"T DO IT!

Akon’s new song, Sorry (Blame It On Me).
I hope he takes full responsiblity for this terrible song and herendous video.
AKON, we ARE blaming you for this disaster.

ok akon we get it that chic was too young to get in the club however what ur saying is if she was over 21 THEN it woulda been ok to disrepect her????
Angie says – reply to this

92

I have no idea who akon is but i don't see why you think the vid is so bad. Maybe it is because he has values of some kind?

ChrissMiss says – reply to this

95

Oh get over yourselves with your self-righteous "its rape, its rape!" No, it's not. Until you have known what rape is or what it feels like, uhh no it's not rape. Also, there is more video of the girl acting like a silly girl again, at a different club. I do not take the side of this girl or her family. She is one step away from becoming pregnant and ruining her life. Since when the fuck did we get so lackadaisical with our children or their parents? Don't blame Akon for pointing out what's been there. He is an entertainer. If you think what he did was bad. WOW. You are in for a SHOCKER so my advice to you is stay with the little teeny bopper acts. You guys cannot handle the truth of what's out there.

You guys are so uptight its disguisting… Who gives a shit what the artist does it's about the music and Akon is incredibly talented, just listen to Mama Africa on youtube… Yeah, it's disguisting that he dry humps woman he doesn't know but he didn't know the ho was only 14, her father should take responsibility.

Rihanna Rocks A New Look During American Idol Finale Performance!

Just when we think we've seen it all from Rihanna, she goes and pulls the rug right out from underneath us!

The pop star took her latest single from Talk That Talk, the Calvin Harris and Dr. Luke-produced Where Have You Been, to the American Idol stage last night for a special, season finale performance, and although she didn't switch up the color of her recently dyed back-to-black locks, she may have well have, because she was rocking some seriously FEROSH dreadlocks!

Ch-ch-check her out (above)!

WOW! We LOVE it!

A true Princess Of ~~China~~ Hollywood!

Looking great, gurl!

And SOUNDING even better!
