Akon, hip-hop singer and amateur concertgoer tosser, is singing a new tune — “Sorry, Blame It On Me” — where he offers apologies for his recent troublesome events — including lewd dancing at a club in Trinidad with a 14-year-old pastor’s daughter, and causing Verizon to dump their sponsorship of Gwen Stefani’s tour, reportedly because of Akon’s shenanigans. Someone’s had a busy summer!
TMZ inside sources reveal that Akon did not pen the song. Say what?! It seems DJ and producer Clinton Sparks actually wrote the entire ballad — even though his credit is listed as co-writer and producer. Sparks will fly!
This leaves many wondering if Akon’s apology is more of a publicity stunt to capitalize on his bad decisions. An insincere apology? From a man who allegedly practices polygamy? Say it ain’t so!
I can’t say I’m surprised by this…
*I’ll be leaving later LA today 
so updates may be a bit slower than usual. Be sure to keep it locked on That Grape Juice though, as there are some great things in the works upon my return to the UK. The interviews with Jagged Edge and Johnta Austin will DEFINITELY be up before the week is out*

Is this a joke?
Not a fraud to me. Seriously doubt Clinton Sparks daddy has more than one wife. Its Akon’s experiences = co-writer from re-telling. All on the up and up.

I love his unique sound,but someone need to help rappers and females have some respect and common sence when they’re in the public eye. What you do in your own home is your business, as long as you’re not sexy litte kids, or killing or beating on pepole. Has some respect for yourself folks
