While this site refrained from a response to Akon’s nightclub incident at Club Zen in Trinidad, its absolute atrocious that “dry humping,” incident at Club Zen in Port-of-Spain with Danah Alleyne has now ended Akon’s sponsorship by Verizon.

The statement issued by Verizon states, “We have music services on our cell phone service and we were promoting him as one of the artists. The other part of the sponsorship was the Gwen Stephanie tour, of which he was an opening act. We are no longer sponsoring the tour."

The owners of Club Zen should be held responsible for Akon dancing with an underage teen, seeing as the club was suppose to be 18 years and over.

R+B singer AKON has slammed allegations that he stole a song from rival rapper LOON. Loon claims that Akon fused stolen vocals from his hit song Who Is That, with those of another artist, T-Pain and the Locked Up hitmaker. But, manager of Akon's record label Konvict Muzic, tells AllHipHop.com, "Given Akon's current track record of making writing and producing hits, it is very unlikely that he would have 'stolen' a record form Loon. T-Pain had no knowledge of what was happening once the song got leaked." But Loon's representative remain stands by his allegations, saying, "Why does Konvict Records feel they need to steal hits from Loon? "Loon is a bonafide hit song writer so let's expose these people and give Loon his bona-fide dues."

Gwen Stefani is huge. There's no denying it.

Her name carries history (No Doubt, anybody?), success (20 million albums sold -- good enough?) and is even a brand (she peddles shoes, clothes and purses).

Yet, as her Sweet Escape tour continues, her name might not even be the biggest on the bill.

It's her opener (and recent collaborator) Akon who has a vice grip on the charts, with hits like "Smack That" and the recent chart topper, "Don't Matter." All told, he has had three No. 1 hits off his 2006 album "Konvicted."

His knack for oh-so-catchy hooks even gave Gwen a boost on her latest single, "The Sweet Escape."

So just who is bigger at the moment, Gwen or Akon? A Gwen fan and an Akon fan try to settle the argument.
