A video that has recently gone viral on the internet shows R&B star Akon performing his hit song “Locked Up” while a man, reportedly a child predator, is being arrested. Although the exact location and time of the event are unknown, the presence of palm trees and the man’s unusual outfit suggest it might have taken place in Miami.
In the video, Akon is seen singing his classic track, which features lyrics about being confined and struggling with the law, as police apprehend the suspect. He is accompanied by a person playing the song’s instrumental on a boombox. Akon’s performance underscores the song’s fitting theme as the accused is taken into custody.
Akon is the latest rapper to appear on Vitaly’s Kick stream, which has recently gained attention for featuring such dramatic moments. Unlike previous streamed arrests, Akon did not interact with or demean the accused during the incident.
