Akon - “Sorry, Blame it on Me” Lyrics

What a rad thing to do, owning up for mistakes and willing to put things you don’t think are your fault on your shoulders anyway in a genuine way. Right on Akon.

Akon is a huge idiot. This song and the lyrics are so hypocrite! First he appologises and all and then in the end of the song he revokes all the things he said; “Even though the blame’s on you
I’ll take that blame from you”. So what if the girl was underaged. That kind of behavior is not acceptable even if it was an adult woman! I just don´t get people who adore him. c´mon, little kids watch what he does on gigs from tv and they think it is acceptable. Thanks akon from ruin children. Just think about if some man would do the same thing to your sister, daughter, mother, cousin etc. before when you think what´s cool and funny.

Akon should GROW UP and try to learn some manners!
Akon, please, leave Gwen alone. Nobody needs or wants you to entertain.

It sounds like a backhanded apology…he apologized because he was forced to not because he was truly sorry…he really didn’t take the blame for his actions…that’s just sad.

LOSER!!!

“For rising back out disgracing my name
I’m just a singer trying to entertain
Because I love my fans I’ll take that blame
Even though the blame’s on you (3x)”

Uhhhh…. and that’s an apology HOW???

Are you ******* kidding me?! This guy simulated the RAPE of a teenage girl. She went up there to dance for a “prize” trip to Africa. He then said, in fact, he was the prize. He grabbed her, threw her on the floor, held her there against her will (as she struggled to get free he banged her head repeatedly on the damn floor), spread her legs, and then began to thrust her. Jared, I usually love your site, but calling a simulated RAPE “dancing suggestively” is beyond the pale. I doubt you’d be happy if someone referred to gay bashing as just friendly “rough housing.”

Poor girl. She thought it was just a dance. SHE got blamed for what HE did, too (She was wearing “provocative” clothes and too “good looking” so naturally this excuses an adult male for getting “carried away.”). This is just bullshit. Blaming a kid for something as sick as this is too ******* much.

That’s not an apology! Not when you say sorry which is immediatly followed by blaming the young girls dad, then the club and then your fans.

“Why doesn’t anybody wanna take blame
For rising back out disgracing my name
I’m just a singer trying to entertain
Because I love my fans I’ll take that blame
Even though the blame’s on you”

Why not be a man Akon and actually step up and offer a real apology - to your fans, to the underage girl, to Gwen and to the fan you tossed around like he was human garbage!!!!!!! Then again, you’re not a man, you’re just a little boy……

Folks - please do not reward his inexcusable behavior. Don’t buy his CD’ ’s and don’t go to his concerts. Abusive pedophiles do not deserve a forum of any type much less our hard-earned $.

I worked at the concert where the fan throwing occured…and this is a FAMILY concert. In the 13 shows that KFEST has put on, nothing like this has ever happened. Usually the artists are great, some even come and hang out with us during the show. Akon though he was the “man” and could do whatever he wanted. Picking up that kid (who is prob 100 lbs soaking wet) was the worst thing I have ever witnessed.

Like the poster above said, are you kidding me?????
This idiot did not simply dry hump a young girl in Trinidad like the media is reporting, he acted out a rape. Watch the video on youtube, he had TWO guys hold her down. The girl is 14!! 14!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You’re right nothing speaks louder than your money or lack thereof!
Don’t let this guy get away with this! Write and email Gwen Stefani and her management and demand that Akon be removed from the tour.

If Gwen Stefani were smart, especially now that she is a mom herself…she should fire Akon from her tour…her acceptance of his behavior and further promotion of him on her tour only supports his behavior and condones it.

His song is nothing but an attempt at trying to stay in the spotlight. He needs to quit.

His behaviors are wrong, sick and should not be tolerated!!!

I’m not defending him but it was a 21+ up club. What the hell was a 14 year old girl dressing sexy at a club like that for? And more importantly, what kind of parents let their kid go to a club like that? If she snuck in and she’s like that, then its a little bit her fault.

Now. At teh same time. He’s let his fame go to his head, I’ve heard it from several people that know him personally. It was wrong on his part to do an act like that, and im sure you’ve all seen the tapes via Youtube.

This is one of his best songs and at least he saying you can put the blame on him but we should not we should take the blame for are once actions no one should put it on him he saying sorry and we should thank him for that if we could all be like that it would we a better world but we cant

Thank you Akon

i don’t believe that he was tryin to apologize he was more so just taking the blame for it. The only reason it’s even so public is because he’s an artist. But I read what everyone has written so far and some of you do make good points but i would like to just point out the fact that it is the clubs responsiblity to control who is allowed in their clubs. I have worked the doors at many parties and clubs and if we say you have to be a certain age than that is what you have to be. Granted there are fake ids out their you can tell them apart from the real ones it just take time. SO there are more than one person who should be taking blame on this. He was wrong for however it was that he was dancing with her but if she had been of the approiate age she was suppose to be i doubt that it would have went down like that.

OMG did anyone watch that video he is HORRIBLE. Gwen why us she touring with this guy. he has the audacity ni one video to say im a muslim that why im not at the bar and i dont smoke but he grinds his co%k on some girl.whats with gwen she is getting wack why is she touring with this bump he is a disgrace to muslims, and africans no wonder ppl have issues with both of them. she must need tix sales or something im glad verizon dumped her and he doesnt have any sponsors anyway. thats just wrong

i agree with you oooo clearly all people see is someone dancing with a underage girl forgetting the fact that she shouldn’t have been in there in the first place … what he was suppose to check the girl id hisself when he invite them up on stage; i think not … and ya’ll talkin bout not buyin his music and stuff really get over yourself cause he still makin paper day in day out

yo is this even a discussion

there is no reason for this little debate to be even going on. Are you people even thinking about what you’re saying. He’s an entertainer. He was doing what he do. The only reason ya’ll feel the need to even put him down about it is because the girl was underage. But yet he had no way of knowing that since the club was a 21 and older club. The ones that really need to be speaking up and explaining theirselves is the club owners who allowed this underage girl to be let in the club and her parents for not knowing where there daughter was. I totally agree with #36 it’s a part of the show if the girl had been the age she was suppose to have been the story wouldn’t had even hit the press. And yes that girl need an old fashion butt whoopin that Big Mama would give ya.

I think that he means it. And that he will take all the blame for it.. But he is sorry. He just wants to make it clear, he didn’t know that she was underaged, and if it was in a 21 year older club why the **** was she in there? He had no right thrusting the girl, but it seems like he feels sorry. And in teh even though teh blames on you. or whatever, hes probably saying .. ” I know that the girl got blamed, but I’m taking the blame from her ”

Gets it?/

there is no excuse, no matter how old a woman is, when THIS he did happened - every woman would care huge trauma beying almost raped like this

even if it would be a club for people over 100 and the girl was there, there is no excuse for such a dehumanization of a female!!!

would the act be better? less embarassing? less violent or even entertaining, when he would “stage”rape an adult woman????? no way!

its horrible, and that she happens to be a kid just draw more attention to his action or any attention at all - as violence, rape against women is still often ignored and used as “art” in entertainment, where the artist or performer, who can behave like that (and call it art or entertainment) has just huge aggressivity and hate problem against females

hows he a pedophile wen he thought the girl was 21?

this song is siiiiiick.
screw all u hating parents who are like omg akon is such a bad person. and the one person who called him a stupid negro, go **** yourself. this isn’t the sixties anymore dont bring racism into this. its a good song and he is taking the blame for his action like a real man would. right on akon. you mah boi kiiiid. for the rest of u blow meeeeeee

Its her own fault.. looks to me like shes enjoying it.

First I think that Akon is a great Hip-Hop artist and that is great he takes the blame, just for the fans. But I think that is right for the club to get shut down because it’s their fault that they let a 14 year old girl in a 21 or over CLUB. Also I hope that the father takes responsibilty of the 14 year old for goin’ into a club when your supposed to be 21 or over.

Oh yeah all ya’ll haterz hatin’ on Akon about this **** about the 14 year old girl, you should really hate yourselfs.

When you’re drinking and partying, you’re not in the same state of mind to sitting on the computer arguing.

Akon simply wasn’t in his state of mind when he did what he did to that girl.

That fourteen year old ***** is to blame. Obviously, what do you expect to happen when an underaged teen goes into a 21+ club?

**** happens.

everyone can fail but everyone don’t have the courage to apologize.i’ve really appreciate the thing u’ve done Akon.

Have we, the American people called for a nationwide investigation and/or the immediate impeachment of George Bush for INTENTIONALLY lying to the American people with regards to the “war” in Iraq. If were worried about money being wrongfully spent, let’s put an end to the tax dollars being spent in Iraq. Bush is the true definition of a thug!

Akon’s actions concerning the young lady from Trinidad were inappropriate BECAUSE she was under age. Was he supposed to card her when she jumped up on stage? No…that was the clubs responsibility. His actions were in no way, shape or form comparable to rape. Yes they were immature and irresponsible… that is unquestionable. He’s been penalized enough.

Why hasn’t anyone taken the blame for the lack of preventative measures enacted concerning Hurricane Katrina. Is that the kind of support we can expect from a government that we strive to abide by each and everyday in times of crisis and chaos? When we can no longer offer taxes should we expect to be labeled as “refugees” in our country! Why is it that can we rebuild a country overseas (Iraq) but we cannot manage to deliver food water and shelter to suffering Americans in New Orleans. Americans are cold blooded…I guess it’s just in your nature.

The lyrics are fantastic.
I like Akon for being very honest in his songs.
Gwen Stefani might want to forgeve Akon now.

Thank you for sharing this story with me !

i like this song but he should of never done that to the girl even he really didnt opalogize i like his music and the songs he has written so i think this is a good song.

akon its not your falt you didnt knw how old she was u thought she was 21 she fibed her falt not yours!so write me back i have a question

p.s im just a girl that wasnt to sing

you guys are all ******* retarded. it is that ******* fault. shes like 14 and going to an over 21 club, where people get fucked, and things like that happen. if she didnt want that **** to happen, she shouldnt have gone. akon apoligizes in his song, but he says its NOT fair he gets blamed for everything when her parents didnt know where she was, she was illegally at a club, andddd he fucked up. get over it

i like this song, akon is amazing
all entertainers make mistakes, like normal people
i dont see any of you ******* complaining about anything that someone not famous has done. everyone ***** up, so leave akon alone k thanks

Wow yall are such morons…..He made a mistake EVERYONE makes mistakes god i mean look at every …1:She shouldnt of been in the club underage?
2:yall talkin about that kid? wow he asked for it what a moron for coming to hes concert and disrespecting him what a moron…but other then that this song says it all
Hes NOT to blame but he will take the blame thats a real man right there not everyone makes a song about their mistakes..

But other then that Mad respects to Akon

“For rising back out” I guess it does sound like VERIZON BACKED OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t you think a person could tell from a 14 and 21 serously. Even if she wore thos clothes I think you could tell. If you saw the vidio she enjoyed well I think. And that sooo wasn’t rape. Some of you people say Akon should be sued whatever. But really if the girl wasn’t there none of this would have happened.

well yeah it me again that stupid gurl should not even be at that club on the other hand akon shouldnt have done that 2 any body like i said in ma last post that song sounds f.a.k.e well i kno all ma gurlz iz reading dia ma i miss ya’ll

Akon lost his sponsership with Verizon after the humping incident. I guess he didn’t learn enough to avoid throwing that boy off of the stage though.

http://www.BragandRag.com

omg this song is adorable. i love akon.!

wow, first he releases don’t matter, and then everyones like “AKON YOUR THE BEST” and now, just cause of a little mistake, everyone brings hatred on him, very grateful isn’t it? i forgive him for what he did, as long as he knew his mistakes, everyone makes them, he’s still my HEROOOO :D

when akon is saying “the blame is on you” and “they were dead wrong trying to blame it on me” he is trying to say that the parties involved were probably more responsible than he was, such as Verizon, Club Zen, the 14 year old girl, and the girl’s father. What gave these haters the idea that he is placing the blame on his fans? We are only spectators in this fiasco. Everyone has to lighten up. If you want to try and fix society through your blogs, then leave akon alone and start talking about the crowd who was chanting and cheering when akon was dry humping the girl on stage. I believe voyeurs are more perverse than the person committing the act. Lets start there and leave akon the **** alone.

All u motherfuckers who hating on akon should jus go suck ur mama *****!!!!

“I’m sorry that it took so long to speak
But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani
I’m sorry for the hand that she was dealt
For the embarrassment that she felt”

I think he really apologizin to gwen with a sincere heart.

The girl at the club, i think not…the blame’s on her, her dad and the security that let her in in club Zen.

Also, one of u motherfuckers said Akon held her against her will…****** get ur facts straight!! She was ****** enjoyin it…she opened her legs for him to come!!! and the comment she made afterwards “Best show ever!!”…doesnt that say something!!! She jus playin innocent because her daddy found out…that little ******!!!

Akon is one the most talented artist in the game…a little incident like that would not bring him down

MUCH LUV AKON!!!!!

Big ******* deal. If what he says is true and the clubs 21+ then the ***** got what she deserves. If you’re gonna be in a grown up situation learn to deal with grown up circumstances.

i think u all neeed to calm downn a bit. i love akon, hee is a m a z i n g and i love his voice! akon does a lot for us besides giving us amazing music so everyone calm yourselves and enjoy some music for once. i love you akon, dont take this crapp

-.-” I like the rythm of this song. There are pros and cons to your song. But other commenters have said some. It’s a good thing to apologize though… Just think before whatever you do next time and take a look at other’s point of view. Like in the book “To Kill A Mockingbird” - “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view . . . until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”

Honestly, cut him some slack. How was he supposed to know that the girl was under 21? She wasnt supposed to be there, it was her fault. It’s rediculas that it’s all his fault now that some irresponcible girl went to an over 21 club when she was 16! And listen to the lyrics, he’s apologizing for a lot more then just that. He’s truely a sincere person.. the lyrics aren’t fake. So try being a little open minded and realize he’s trying to say sorry instead of calling his hypocritical. Thanks.

Give him a break.. you guys are rediculas.

You guys gotta get a hold od yourself… how was he suppose to know that she was underage?
He was having fun and she was having fun!!
Yeah so he pushed her off the stage…. did she die?no she didnt! and plus her dad shoulda known where she was going and shoulda known she had a fake ID!

PLUS…. theres a huge difference between what a 14 year old girl looks like and a 21 year old girl looks like …. its easy to tell them apart! so akon didnt say get a fake iID and come to the club now did he? He had no clue that a 14 year old girl was going to show up at a club.

So stop blaming akon for somthing that he didnt even know would happen and its not his fault… its fans like our fault for losing control over a singer or dancer!

IT IS ALWAYS GOTTA BE THE BLACK MEN I MEAN LOOK AT IT WHAT DA HELL DID HE DO THAT WAS THAT WRONG YO ALL BETTA STOP BEING RACISTS AND GROW UP. HOW MANY SINGERS GET IN TROUBLE AND AFTER THAT THEY APLOGIZE, UH?. I AM SO UPSET BY THE WAY U AMERICANS TREAT US BLACK FOLKS HERE. I MEAN LOOK AT THEM SNOOP, BON JOVI, PARIS HILTON, BRITANY SPEARS AND SO MAY OTHERS. AKNO IS THE ONLY MAN WHO EVER EVER EVER APLOGIZED FRO HIS ACTIONS, THIS WAS A FREAKIN’ ADULT NIGHT CLUB WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE WHITE PEOPLE WAS THE LITTLE BUSTARD DOING IN THERE. YOU DISGUST ME, JUST COZE DA MAN IS BLACK HE SHOULD GET IN THE MUCH TROUBLE. AKON IS FREE AND **** YOU ALL.

dude all of you back the **** off!!!!!! AKON IS BETTER THAN YOUUU ALL!!! i love akon’s song. so don’t sit here and make fun of him.. sit here and make fun of yourselves. grow up, and stop being so immature “LOSERRR!” yea i would shut up(: kk thanks guys. all of you stop making fun of him.. i would watch out.

ok, the guy messed up. you know how rediclous u all are saying hes not talented and that this is bullshit. if an entire song of apologies isnt an apology what is? that takes time, money, and emotion. hes not 100% to blame and anyone who says it is needs to sit back and relax. u cant deny his talent, his cd’s are deep and he talks about way more than ur average thug rapper. listen to his cd’s. anyone can relate. he messed up and sent bak and apology. what more can anyone ask?

hes lost his sponsor, and enough people are already shitting on him. relax and sit back. he apologized. it doesnt make it right, but it takes a man to do that. saying he isnt talented is being ignorant and narrowminded.

out

wait hold up…. what da hell is a lil girl doing in a 21 and up club?? can someone answer that for me before people start saying racist comments and instigating about the rapper akon… i know in part that he did bad… but there is no excuse for a freakin 14 year old girl doin in those kind of places… shes a lil ***** that needs an education and manners… in conclusion, balme it on the lil *****.

u guys are seriously just haten on him leave him the hell alone its all the girls fault. she should’ve never been there and akons not blaming her dad
he’s jus saying tht the dad should’ve never let her out tht young. he’s right believe or not u idiots.and akon was man enough to make a song like this did any other singer ever do something like this, no0 because all the other singers tht make mistakes avoid all the media crap and never bring it up, and akon brang it up himself and is saying srry. good job akon. tht was seriuosly the smartest thing to do.

guyss, akonss sry . if youu dont belive him . then get overrr it & movee on . thiss is a good song . so dont complain . k thankssssssss

I respect him for this. If this were to happen to any of you that are calling him a loser, and an idiot, or whatever, I’m sure you wouldn’t have had the courage to make an apology to the world like this. He is taking the blame off of all of these other people and putting in on himself. He should be blamed for this, but some people are punishing Gwen Stefani for his actions and that’s wrong. So I respect him for taking the blame. What he did was wrong, and he is accepting that and saying he deserves the blame. Honestly, if you have ever done something and someone else suffered a consequence because of it, how hard was it to say that they had nothing to do with it? Did you even tell anyone that they had nothing to do with it? Imagine having to do that to the whole world. I’m not saying he should just be forgiven, and I’m sure he didn’t think that’s what everyone was going to do, but he tried. Give him a break. So for those of you telling him to grow up; take you own advice. I know sorry doesn’t cut it, but at least he is apologizing.

Get over it, for those who thinks it’s Akon’s fault. Was he supposed to know that she’s underage is he supposed to say “excuse me miss can i check your ID before i start bang you”. As you all haters know that she’s 15, now ask yourself this, why would a 15 year old be doing in an overage club. Plus the way she dress it’s saying “do something nasty to me” lol. Teenagers these days wears clothes that reveals about 3/4 of their body I’d say they want to get laid before they reach their adult hood. Anyway he’s apologizing, do YOU have the guts to apologise to everyone around the globe?

okay people. So i know akon did something wrong. But you people do not understand what he is saying. People are putting the blame on the girl, but he is saying that he will take the blame. He really is apologizing. If he wasnt apologizing, why would he take the time to make up this song. This is truely one deep song, and I forgive akon. you should too, and not go on strike against him. Don’t judge people on their past in the future. Every day is a new start.

why are all you guys hatin on akon. hes been tru some rough times. by you doin this you making it worse. think before you speak.and how do you know the songs about him. like he siad even tho the blames on you you can put the blame on me. its the other persons fault. listen to the lyrics. and stop being so judgemental. GROW UP!! the only hipocrates here. are most of you.

kayy thanks.:]

Will everyone shut up?? PPl PPl!! I was scared of account once bcuz of club zen. But i hard this song, I’m sooooo relaxed now, I know everything he might of done was rude, but he had guts to say sorry to the whole world. Thats all i gotta say.. if you wnna contact me, plz email me babytrini_kasha@hotmail.com

L8tzz

first of all adults are alound to dance however they want. you dont check id when you are at an adult club where the club has a responsibility for adults and only adults entering. what about the girls parents?

omg would u guys leave akon alone he made a mistake! he didnt know the girl was under 21 she shouldnt have been there in da first place i dont think that he should have done that to the girl but at least he apologized!

alwaysright dude i agree wit u on everything but ur a racisst son of a b_tch

“Even though the blames on you”

That means that hes taking the blame because Gwen Stefani lost her Verizon sponsor. She lost her sponsor so that mean she got blamed and he is taking that blame. He knows it was his fault. Goodness give him some credit.

wat he did was wrong. and he told the public about it. he offered the kid a million dollars for wat happened.

come akon, is this the best you can do?
not only have you “disgtraced your name”,
you try to shove the blame on the girls dad,
the club, and the fact that she was underage.
sorry but simulated rape is NOT okay for underage OR
over 21 women. looks like you should take a “sweet escape”

PS: what about the kid you through off the stage ??

OH MY GOD why is everyone making such a big deal out of this?

I’m not taking his side because he’s famous but Akon was just having fun.
we all do stuff that we regret. But it’s not like u have to be all serious about it. It’s a part of life. It’s legal to dance like that in a 21+ club. everyones over 21 there like comon people.

That girl who was 14 should not have been there. You should not put the blame on Akon. You should put the blame on her.

Akon it wasn’t your fault. Hear me out. If that girl was over the age of 21 no one would have cared!!

They’re only making such a big deal out of this because she was 14 for god sakes. It was her fault. I love the song you made Akon but you didn’t have to take the blame for that.

Akon your very thoughtful and responsible to take the blame. But that girl needs to get a lesson taught to her about breaking the law.

At least thats what I think.

Thanks.

WTF i don’t get it at all
he raped a girl
a teenage girl
who dídn’t knew what was happening to her
that’s so not real
and if he raped the girl
& everybody seems to know
why isn’t that THE news of the day and isn’t he in jail :S

I think akon is trying to do the right thing by saying sorry but he already did those things twice i think he doesn’t care and he have to said sorry becuase he knows that his fans wouldn’t like him. Also what in the hell a girl that is 14 years old can go to a club that is just stupid besides what kind of security is the one. And what about the fathers of the girl what they were thinking they let her go to a club and something wrong happen to her they are going to said that it was the singer fault all of these people are irresponsible and they have to tace care about they’re jobs and the people.

Akon you rule!! Keep up the good work! ; ) The girl liked it! Thug!

As life goes on I’m starting to learn “more” and “more” about “responsibility”… I don’t think Akon could waist his time to write a song that doesn’t come from the bottom of his heart… If Akon he didn’t mean what his saying in the song, Why the hell did he bother himself to write it anyway… Besides to that Akon is really sorry about what happend He Apologizes In Public… For us people to hear how really sorry he is… Gwen listen cut Akon some slack… He really means what he’s saying… in other words he’s trying to be a gentleman… Apologizing in front of the world… Besides if he didn’t mean really mean it he could’ve just brought a bunch of flowers at your door step… Saying he is sorry… Even if he did bring some flowers at your door step saying he is sorry… He also went an extra mile Aproving that HE IS SORRY… And before Iclose my feelings try to analiyse his words that say… As life goes on I’m starting to learn “more” and “more” about “responsibility”…

Ok why are you guys hatin on akon?! Wow. He was dubbing ( hard grinding ) wit a girl is that far off from what a lot of people do. You cant call that rape. Even though he did something wrong its not his fault. Besides about half of artists today are ‘criminals’ at least he says to himself, “wow I guess some people thought that was stupid of me” but he’s saying sorry! Unlike N.W.A. Saying **** like fuckthe police when they get in trouble. I think you guys are expecting way to much from akon and its kinda sad.

f al u who think akon sucks

Well, first off i believe that most if the comments posted here are idiotic in their own right. Can we please you the English language correctly?

Akon screwed up, he admits it. The bottom line is he shouldn’t have done that whether the girl was 14 or 40. However, the club is at the most fault and cause the whole problem by not preventing her entrance. They had a responsibility to protect that girl from herself, and the entertainer they hired.

I don’t believe that Akon is a bad man - i believe, like everyone, hes human. Human make mistakes, and we all deserve redemption. And frankly, its not like he did anything terrible… He didn’t kill, he didn’t rape, he didn’t do anything beyond a simple mistake that we all can be guilty of doing. He went to far.

And the song is very good :)

Akon is such an idiot. Most people that I have met dont know about this side of him. It wasnt her fault, so what if she was wearing clothes that were a little bit revealing, Akon knew what he was doing and he had the choice whether to continue or not, Also HE KNEW she was under age. Obviously her parents trusted her and the people running the competition, that they would take would take good care of their child, to let her go! Rape is a serious crime and it can cause phsychological harm to the victim. Taking the blame or saying sorry, sure it may seem easy to let those words fall out of your mouth, but to the victim it can mean nothing! What kind of entertainer throws fans off stage (sure you were trying to protect yourself), but as Akon says in his lyrics “Im just a singer trying to entertain”…What the hell is that about! We know your trying to enterain people, but if you were’nt so cracked in the head maybe you would realise that these people actually like your music and they are desperate to meet you!

Akon you truly digust me!

its not “for rising” its “Verizon backed out disrgracing my name.” Ok.? get it straight. geez. >:[ people have no commen sense. dont just make up lyrics.

I love this song it is so good and he did the right thing to say it

Akon shouldnt be to blame that girlis underage but she shouldnt of been in the club n e way so e isnt to blame n he is grt so e shuldnt listen tothings that peeps say xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He’s a complete P.O.S. I don’t care if she was of age he had no business doing that crap to her or anyone else. And now he blames us? f that had been my daughter or girlfriend, I’d kill the mofo. I say let him, i mean it, rot in jail. Good riddance.

no matter how much u gonna hate on Akon he’s still sick and i love this song. he is being a man and taking tha blame. Now which one of u have ever done something like that??… exacly thats what i thought

Akon Rapist….You guys after getting some amount of money;you feel the whole world is in your hands.Not knowing that there are some who existed before you ******** came into being.I wish this people were all banned from Singing.On here;somebody might think that i hate Akon but where the Truth lies,nothing should ever prevent one from saying it.Why do we have Freedom Of Speech?Akon you are a **** and Stop this Stupid life you are living.You went that far to disgrace Africa …The Song you claim you sung to apologise for what you did was a whole mess.How could you think of singing that?Bulshit Man…Go back to school and learn some sense.Correct your SILLY mistakes……

i fink akons a brave man for doing the song no one forsed him to right it he dun it him self n the girl shudnt of been in the club so y is it his fault i dont get that what do we all need to ask for ID now wen we chat ppl up in clubs it is rediulus she needs to GROW UP
she probly snuck in there loads of times befor askon shudnt gt the blame for this

Plus I also want to add, Akon keep doing your music just as you are, dont change a thing…I love you!!!!!! And to everyone who hates Akon you just dont listen to his words and dont know what he has been through. Everyone deserves second chances and especially someone who has as much talent. Those of you who are trashing him for his dancing with that underaged girl, well you are just jellous that wasnt you. She shouldnt have been in the club in first place…sorry but its true. I dont like the way he danced with that girl it was alittle on the sexual side but he shouldnt be pentalized for not knowing she was underage……grow up!!

If everyone would just forgive and forget what happened in the club that one day they would see that this is one of the best songs i have heard in a long time. Very nice Akon

akon, your the bom….

akon, ur da bom….luv u

shut up all of u he didnt know he is trying 2 get his fans bak!!
he didnt know she didnt look under age!!!
i will always suport akon

can someone explain to me what happened….i didnt know he had problems with gwen stefani and a kid and a 14 years old girl….can someone tell me all the story….about gwen ,the 14 years old girl,the rape and the thrown kid? didn’t know he’d do such things as rape….

Hey……….it’s alright! He freakin apologized, isn’t dat enough?!

erm
in the bit of the last verse
‘For rising back out disgracing my name
I’m just a singer trying to entertain’
they have the lyrics wrong
its
‘VERIZON backed out digracing my name..’
not
‘FOR RISING backed out digracing my name..’

well thiz song itz kinda true
tht gurl y did she go to the club any wayz
and akon didnt know tht the gurl was 14
and akon was stupid enough to say she was 20 and up
IT WAS BOATH OF THIER FAULT!!!

I think this song is awesome. It doest matter that he says the blame is on them. First he takes blame for all the stupid stuff he’s done. Then takes blame for things that other people have done. That is why he says even though the blames on you. Dont call him an idiot if your going to be one yourself.

Love the song!!! Its awesome and really great to relate to.

i not being funny yer but that stupid **** shuldnt be in a ova 21 club anyway. so every1 stop blaming Akon for being so one bad wen dat slag was da 1 in da wrong. yh n go on you tube n see that she was the one on top of him. ifeel really sorry for you Akon he has given us so much good music but u lot r just so ungratefull. dnt worry you still got fans out there. you can tell in the video how sorry he is.
dnt wrry Akon we still luv u.

Okay so I dont like Akon but still that girl should NOT have been in that club! its a 21+ club!!And yes, its tempting just because you’re not aloud but still the freaking ID checker person should have saw her or something! Its good the club got shut down. thats what it deserves. And some of it is Akon’s fault. I dont think ANYBODY should be doing that to a girl. Young or old. But it is NOT rape. She was smiling and enjoying herself! If it wouldve been pretty much rape she wouldve been screaming and trying to get up. but was she? no. that dad shouldnt have sued. he shouldve beat the girls butt for the fact that she was dressed like that at the age of 14 in a 21+ club. and good job on the sponsor backing out. I wouldnt have supported them after that happening. Its all bullcrap. I dont think he is truly apologizing! He just doesnt wanna get sued!

I think that what he did was wrong and he shouldnt of done it no matter what the age was. But the song was good for an apology but think the bit were he sez he will take the blame is a bit **** coz it aint no1 elses fault he shunbt of done it in the first place

and its not akon fault …. but he need to be more carefull of his fan not all fans are fan ….

always learn from people before you ….

….Tupac …
Stay forever …

check it guys akon an icon why hes to be blamed for es mistakes HE was IN Da clUb WHeRE hE Was allowed and gwen was not
TITle TOTALLY SAYS OBEY UR PARENTS AND RESPECT ELDERS CROSSING LIMITS WILL HURT U DARLING……… EITHER WAY DATS Y LAW SAYS DONT DRINK AND DRIVE

i think that akon was wrong for doing what he did but he has spent all of his money saying sorry and she shouldnt of been in the club i am just suprised he held her down and done THAT!!! i love akon loads though and i think any man would of done the same mistake as she must of looked old and she shouldnt of been in the club!!! i don’t see why this has got anything to do with gwen stefani though!!!!! could somebody tell why she has been brought up so many times???

wow,i love this song welll even htough some other people talks out of it but i like it
GO AKON….

It’s good how he’s apologizing… I mean, we all make mistakes and he’s not only taking the blame for his own problems, but for others’ too! in my eyes he is a herro he is my biggest fan i love you AKON and i don’t blame you

just make the musik we like

if you read the song he sais “Enter 21 you know the club they say
Why doesn’t anybody wanna take blame
For rising back out disgracing my name
I’m just a singer trying to entertain
Because I love my fans I’ll take that blame
Even though the blame’s on you (3x)
I’ll take that blame from you”

it’s the girl’s fault for sneaking into a club when she shouldn’t be there, that’s why he sais ill take the blame for you

read all the lyrics before you criticise someone,
and by the way he’s not being a hypocrit because he only sais
“Because I love my fans I’ll take that blame
Even though the blame’s on you (3x)
I’ll take that blame from you”
because she was in the club, did she evd up getting arrested for false identification, possibly even fraud if she stole someone else’s identification.

Errr use are all so gay, your makin it 100000 times worse.
all hedid was dance with her.
how is that wrong
any fan would love to dance with him i sure would.
he didnt touch er in any sexual way
so stop tellin him to grow up iuse are the ones who need too.

what is so bad about the song anyway??? it takes a lot of courage to actually appologise in public and make a song about it! i think the song is brilliant and i love it, it is my favourite song! i havent seen the video but it couldnt possibly be that bad and if she thinks she’s SO GROWN UP to go into a 21 AND OVER CLUB than sh’e gotta expect things like this to happen! and if she didnt want it to happen she could’ve pushed him away but thats wot u get for being a ****!

I LUV U AKON
yo even thhough u did some loser stuff i still got luv for u

we personaly thnk dat ppl dnt have to judge him 4 what we thnk he did- thinking dat- dat girl cud b a liar jst to myk money so Akon, wrote da song so dat he wnt hav to loose his reputation dat easily so cud those ppl shuv their words nd go to hell HE IS NOT A PEDOPHILE!

A rape is a rape Akon n we r not judging U
ppl must appreciate what u hav done 4 apologizing unlike others.
whatever u had with Gwen its none of their concern they r right u shud’nt add the last paragrph
my sister n I
wil always b supportive coz every1 myks mistakes

that wasnt akon and wot u said is wrong i no but it is as bad as vanessa so we all make mistakes dont we that was just somthing she might of enjoyed it

Look all yous idiots crying over **** on this man it was a Over age club she shouldnt been let in **** her in her mouth with a rubber ****

wow this site is found interesting and i realy have to say akon is one of the best singers i have ever knon. i would love to meet him someday.

i dont understand this.

at least apploziged like he shoudnt have done it but he apolizged and its a good song

i love this song,
i hate the lyrics though.

my ex sent it to me, when we split up.
i cry when i listen to it.

espesialy the-
”Sorry for the things that I did not say
Like how you are the best thing in my world
And how I am so proud to call you my girl”
part.

Hey people quick being a f**kin b***h about akon. He’s my # 1 singer. If you guys DARE to talk BullS**t about Him you guys will feel pain from me. We all make mistakes even if it’s our 3rd 4th 5th so on it doesnt mean for you guys to talk smack in this . so y dont u guys tak a Freakin Hike down to Hell were u guys can do watever u guys want. Also God foregave Akon and he gave Akon alot of chances. So y dont u guys say ur own apologize to Him. I dont care if im not typing for the song i care about him. We all had something in life to regret or to think over for some times and Im his # 1 fan so dont u guys dare to lay a hand or watever pn this singer. HE does apologizes for wat has done to the girl and the girl foregave him. SO u guys should foregive AKon to he and i and you people all made our worst choice(s). But you no wat, there wil be a person to foregive u and all. I like Akon I have him all around my House and listen to al his music. The songs arnt just for us. He wanted to apologize to his X and to his girlfriend tht he had. The only way to not like him is to say: Akon I dont like ur music i dont like want did to tht girl but i forgive u to tht. Thts al u have to say.

Akon your my # 1 singer. I forgive you. We all make mistakes before. I made mistakes also but tht nvr gotten over me untill I heard the Song. It filled me with apologizes. I made mistakes in front of my girlfriend before and I had cry for over a day until I heard the song and shared it to all my friends and to my girlfriend. That song is really a heart taking. I cant get over that song I hav shared it with alot of people and it changed their lives as well. Thxz for tht song Il keep in touch with you sometimes. Bye!

wow boy,
ur a good artist but ur act was wrong and ur apology is not sincere ,pls it should never repeat itself and if i might ask why don’t u sing gospel musics with that good voice?

I have looked at the video over and over again trying to see where the young lady in question pushes Akon away…can’t see it….As someone from the Caribbean this kinda thing goes on all the time at clubs and concerts….Girls and guys alike aggressively fight to get up on stage to behave like this….That’s a part of ‘de culture’….EVERYONE is blaming Akon, but who’s blaming her parents, or the club….At age 21 if u wanna go out there and put urself out like that all the power to u….but at age 14 u need ur parents to set boundaries……Akon ought not to be blamed, if any of u have been to any Caribbean island u would know that’s acceptable dancing….does it look like it simulates agressive sex, sure it does but that’s what’s done there….Does that mean we condone rape (thin line between agresssive sex and rape, for it to have been rape she had to say NO!!)), no it does not but like I said, the young gir was not pushing him away….She may have thought since its not a Caribbean soca artiste that he would have been gentler, I don’t know but I’ve seen how some Africans get on in a session and all I can say is I see where we get it from….Ah well to each his own…I personally would never be up on stage grinding with anyone but I have friends who have done it and I know girls vie to be ‘honoured’ to be up on there shaking their stuff…

To you below who wrote a story, ur a prick, akon was in a club, which is meant to be over 21’s, he wasnt to know that the girl was 14.
