Akon doubts the rape allegations against Nelly are true. TMZ caught up with the singer at LAX to ask whether he thought Nelly was capable of doing the crime.
“Not the Nelly I know,” he said. “He’s an amazing person, man. I just know how scary these type [of] situations can be. I’m almost 100 percent positive he’s innocent.”

Akon theorized that it could’ve been someone in Nelly’s entourage who was actually the guilty party, but the St. Louis rapper was caught up in it as the bigger name. He also said celebrities are targets for false allegations.
“I don’t think it was him directly though,” he explained. “And often times those are the situations that you gotta be mindful of anyway because people like us are licks for these girls now. We are targets on every level. Half the time, they’ll set up a charge just for us to settle out just so we don’t deal with the embarrassment and go through the process of fighting it. Once you get that stigma, it’s on you whether you are innocent or guilty.”
Nelly was arrested for alleged rape in Auburn, Washington on Saturday morning (October 7). He was released later that day without any changes and denied the allegations on Twitter.
“Let me say that I am beyond shocked that I have been targeted with this false allegation,” he wrote. “I am completely innocent. I am confident that once the facts are looked at, it will be very clear that I am the victim of a false allegation.”
If you know these groupies are out to get you, why place yourself in a situation to get caught up? For some pussy? Gotta be smarter than that…
What can you possibly do to avoid the accusations wtf? Get every groupie to sign a waiver?
That is EXACTLY what you do. It’s what the Portland Trailblazers did in the 80’s before dealing with these hoes.
Yea u really gonna have waivers & pens at an after party
Reply meant for “Hell Yeah”
If you are about your brand, business, money, and reputation, you do WHATEVER it takes to protect it. Groupie hoes will do EXACTLY what a celebrity requests. Hence why they are groupies…
Akon said Celebs are targets for false allegations and then turns around and said it was prob someone and nelly’s crew lol.
ARe you that dumb? What do you understand by a false allegation? The fact that it could be somebody in his crew doesn’t make him guilty. Damn you really need to stop hitting on crack and get back to school

Your dumb ass should know that it could be a false allegation even if someone in his crew did that shit. Stop hitting on cheap crack and get back to school
That was the same exact shit that happened to Al B. Sure and Run back in the day. Bunch of vultures.

Akon is a fucking hippocrite. We haven’t forgotten the footage of you assaulting a girl on stage.
