During a livestream with controversial streamer Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, Akon took an unexpected turn by singing his iconic song ‘Locked Up’ to an alleged pedophile mid-arrest.
Joining the ranks of other rappers like The Game and YG, Akon teamed up with Russian streamer Vitaly Zdorovetskiy for one of his infamous child predator sting operations. The event, broadcasted on Kick, unfolded in a public park.
A group of men dressed in tribal costumes confronted a suspect who was having a picnic with an underage teenage boy. The surreal scene escalated when Akon, handed a microphone, began performing his hit song ‘Locked Up’ through a speaker.
Akon tweaked the lyrics, singing, “You’re about to get locked up / They won’t let you out,” before adding, “You’re literally getting locked up, bro.” As he continued the performance, purported police officers moved in to arrest the man.
The authenticity of the livestream remains unclear, leaving viewers to wonder if the events were real or scripted for entertainment. A video clip capturing the bizarre moment was shared on social media, quickly going viral.
Earlier the same week, The Game participated in a similar operation. He ambushed an alleged pedophile in a toilet, throwing a cake in the man’s face and confronting him about his actions. After a heated exchange, The Game ended up having a heart-to-heart conversation with the suspect.
The Game urged the man to change his ways, expressing conflicting emotions. “You gotta change your ways. It’s not cool, man. As sick as the whole operation is, some part of me still got a heart,” he said. The man eventually agreed to assist in future sting operations.
Both Akon and The Game’s livestreams highlight the ongoing battle against child predators. However, the lack of factual authentication leaves viewers questioning the legitimacy of these dramatic confrontations.
Whether real or scripted, Akon’s unexpected performance and The Game’s heartfelt plea underscore the strange and troubling efforts to expose child predators online.
