The Game, Akon Come Under Fire In Australia
Published Friday, July 06, 2007 10:53 AM

By Mike Winslow

Rapper The Game and R&B singer Akon's upcoming appearance at the annual "Rock tha Block" concert in Australia has come under fire, due to both artists' criminal records.

The Family Council of Victoria and the Australian Family Association voiced opposition to both artists appearances, claiming they were not good role models for local children.

"We don't really need people from the criminal end of town acting as heroes up on stages for our young people to admire," AFA national secretary Gabrielle Walsh told the Melbourne Herald.

Immigration officials in Australia are currently reviewing the Game's visa, while the department has not yet received an application for Akon.

Both artists have been in the headlines in recent months.

The Game was recently arrested and charged for allegedly brandishing a gun during a game of pick up basketball. He pled not guilty to the charges in June.

The rapper is also fighting criminal charges alleging that he impersonated a police officer, while riding in a cab in New York.

He also pled not guilty to those charges in January.

Akon drew controversy worldwide, when footage surfaced of the R&B singer dancing provocatively with an underage girl in Trinidad.

Verizon eventually dropped Akon as a spokesman due to the negative publicity the footage caused.

propz on the news, Londonbeachsfinest has a point though, they get freaku off rappers but they don't give a damn about the rockstars and shit.

rewynd · 07-06-2007, 02:33 PM

How stupid..Akon, Game and others who commited crimes, got punished for it all..so I guess they should be free like every other persons...

Australia is a racist country..been there before and blacks(aborigines) are treated with no regards....

Although I don't see eye to eye with u on things regarding my man 50, I have to agree with you on this one.

Whenever U Have A Gayme Concert, You Know Its Going To Attract The Gay Crowd And I Doubt They Want That Either. They Should Have Just Let Akon Perform And Not Gayme, Since Gayme Does Stupid Things Like Pretends To Chug Down A Bottle Of Hennesey Or Whatever On Stage(even Though Its Filled With Applejuice), But The Fans Dont Know That. He Also Likes To Pretend To Be A Gangsta, And Hire Someone To Go On Stage So He Can Pretend To Beat Him Up, And Pretend Its 50 Or Something(we All Know Gayme Wouldnt Even Come Within A Mile Radius Of 50) But The Fans Dont Know That.
