Akon has bizarrely sung his classic hit “Locked Up” to an alleged pedophile while they were being arrested.
Following the likes of The Game and YG, the Konvict Muzik boss linked up with controversial Russian streamer Vitaly Zdorovetskiy in one of his alleged child predator sting operations that are livestreamed on Kick.
In the surreal clip, Akon and Vitaly go to a public park along with a group of men dressed in tribal costumes and confront a suspected pedophile who was having a picnic with an underage teenage boy.
After accosting and questioning the man, Akon is handed a microphone and begins performing “Locked Up” as the song plays through a speaker.
The Senegal-born rapper subtly tweaks the lyrics to: “You’re about to get locked up / They won’t let you out,” before saying: “You’re literally getting locked up, bro.”
The man was then arrested by purported police officers as Akon continued to sing “Locked Up.”
It’s unclear if the events in the stream were real or merely scripted entertainment.

Earlier this week,The Game was seen in a similar livestream in which he and Vitaly ambushed an alleged pedophile in a toilet.
The Compton rapper threw a cake in the man’s face before stepping to him and saying: “You got a sickness, bro. You need to kill yourself. What’s going on in your mind?”
Later in the nearly five-hour livestream, the “Hate It Or Love It” hitmaker sat down with the suspected pedophile and unexpectedly had a heart-to-heart conversation with him.
“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,” The Game said. “I feel bad for you, homie. And I shouldn’t feel bad for you. You better than this, bro. I got kids, homie.”
The man later agreed to work with Vitaly and The Game on more sting operations to catch other sex predators.
As with the Akon stream, the events of the video have not been factually authenticated.
