Ever since he was “free” from being “locked up,” Akon has become a world recognized face for his country of Senegal, a platinum charting musician and has penned songs for some of the best and brightest in the entertainment industry.

But there is a darkside to Aliaune Thiam that some have seen, others have experience, but in the end, Akon can speak for himself on beef in the rap game:

The Urban Daily takes a look back at the most outrageous Akon moments.

Akon ‘Smacks’ Chelsea Handler:

While being on E!, Akon spent some time with Chelsea Handler on her TV show. But while promoting his album Freedom, he uses his other hit to “hit” Chelsea where the sun don’t shine (at the 3:59 mark).

Akon Throws Kid Off Stage:

Ladies may love a bad boy, but the crowd certainly went ape-shiite when the Senegalese singer/songwriter calls a kid on stage for throwing something at him and LITERALLY throws him back into the crowd.

Akon’s “Boy” Knocks Out Suge Knight:

After being knocked out once already, Suge should’ve just chilled. But when a discussion turned ugly involving the former Death Row CEO and a member of Akon’s camp, the Konvict Musik camp showed why they’re not going down without a fight.

Akon Dances With Minor:

Akon gets wet ‘n wild with a preacher’s daughter. Crazy, I know, but she did into a club that was 18 and older. Check out this CNN news report where the discussion gets a little bit wild.

Akon Hits Female Fan:

Akon created controversy in the Caribbean. Guyana was his territory of choice. At a concert in Guyana’s National Stadium that was part of the regional Carifesta celebrations, Akon hits a female concertgoer. Accident? On purpose?
