Here's the deal about Akon:
In April 2007, Akon drew criticism for a raunchy dance with a fourteen year old girl at a Trinidad club, as part of a fake contest, despite the club's claim to have an eighteen-years and over age limit. The incident was filmed by Akon's crew and later uploaded to the internet. On April 20, 2007 local media, channel TV6, aired the video clip publicly. Amid criticism on the radio, television, and from the blogosphere, Verizon Wireless has removed ringtones featuring Akon's songs. Verizon has also decided not to sponsor an upcoming tour where Akon was to be the opening act for Gwen Stefani.
Conservative commentators Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingraham, and Bill O'Reilly criticized Akon for "degrading women". Malkin uploaded commentary about Akon to YouTube, using footage from music videos and the Trinidad concert, and Universal Music Group then forced its removal by issuing a DMCA takedown notice. The Electronic Frontier Foundation joined Malkin in contesting the removal as an misuse of copyright law, citing fair use. In May 2007, UMG rescinded its claim to the video, and the video returned to YouTube.

If you know that you have royal blood in you, and you are a Prince/Princess. Then you should take it for the positive and know what you must do. What would happen if you discovered that you have royal blood I wouldn't care what people think or say to me I wouldn't say nothing at all. This is you , YOU have royal blood

Go to mediatakeout.com or hiphop.com. They should have a link to pictures of the tour. I think he's still on tour with her despite the scandal he's been involved in.
