Fans fail to carry Akon above their heads (video)

Akon delivered one of the best and most electrifying performances that Kenyans have ever seen. To be honest, I didn’t expect the concert on Saturday to be as packed as it was, considering he disappointed fans last time by not showing up for his much anticipated concert. In the long run, I guess he is really just a great artiste, and his fans couldn’t miss the concert despite his no-show for the previous one.

Akon lived up to our expectations and gave his fans the best they could ever ask for. Performing almost, if not all his songs, Akon touched the stage and everybody went wild and crazy! The Carnivore grounds was packed to the max and nobody left the vicinity disappointed.

There’s just one thing though that I just can’t help mentioning. A little hilarious but at the same time, unfortunate. You know how huge (not physically, but in popularity) artistes, at the peak of their performances love to throw themselves out to the crowd and are transported from one end of the stage to the other, on the revellers’ hands? Akon tried this, only he knew too well not to trust these drunk Kenyans, and therefore did not throw himself onto them, but instead leaned forward to the revellers’ hands and slowly let himself go just for a little bit. After realising that the guys at the front could not hold him to save their lives, he backed away and continued with the awesome performance.

Now, dear Kenyans. You only had one job… hold Akon and move him across the field. Let him also enjoy himself. Only that! But no, we just had to drink ourselves silly and almost dropped the poor guy. Kenya’s story!
