Akon tried to stop a concert in Australia from breaking into violence by leaping offstage and ordering brawling fans to “calm down.” The R&B star was performing at Melbourne’s HiSense Arena as part of his co-headlining gig with T-Pain when rival gangs began fighting, prompting Akon to halt the show, forcing his way through the crowd.

Immigration officials in the Outback have previously refused the Smack That star entry into the country over his past run-ins with the law.

“It took me almost two years for Australia to let me back in the country. And I’m not going to let them fuck up my concert tonight!”
