Akon Up To His Old Tricks Again, Plus... BET Launches in the UK

A free Akon concert went terribly wrong Wednesday (Feb. 20), after a fire alarm set off panic among thousands of fans at a Danish mall.

According to Reuters reports, some 3,000 people gathered at the Fields mall outside Copenhagen to attend a free performance by the R&B singer. A number of concertgoers responded violently after police attempted to evacuate the building during a fire alarm. [read more here.]


Akon can't stay out of trouble to save his life. Why is the only R&B singer prone to so much violence. Kinda the way R. Kelly is prone to sexual scandal.

But wait, there is more. According to Reuters:

The entertainment cable network, targeted to African-American audiences, will make its debut in Britain on February 28 to more than 8.8 million digital satellite homes, with a roster of U.S. shows.


It will offer shows including "106 & Park," a music and variety show, "College Hill," a reality show about students, and "American Gangster," a documentary series about notorious criminals. [read more here.]


Uh oh, BET is taking it's mediocrity across the pond. Yikes....

BET has some damn nerve! they need to perfect their craft before they go exposing their bullshit to 8 million more people under the misguided guise of "Black Entertainment"...better yet they should just change their name. Low Budget Garbage sounds like a good fit.

BET is trash, been that way since like 2002. Errthing thing they got is based off an MTV concept.

VH1 Soul is what BET should be. VH1 Soul's programming is a better depiction of what black entertainment really is.

By 9Trae on February 22, 2008 9:50 PM

THEY TRIED TO MAKE WATCH B.E.T AND I SAID NO NO NO!!

By Truthbetold on February 25, 2008 12:05 AM

Yeah BET sucks big time. They for one are adding to the demise of black music in general. Majority of their programming is garbage. I hardly watch anymore.
