Akon sings ‘Locked Up’ as child predator gets arrested in Vitaly livestream: watch

A viral video doing the rounds on social media has popular Senegalese-American singer Akon belting out his hit song “Locked Up” as a child predator allegedly gets arrested by the police. 

In a move that left the internet scratching its head in equal parts confusion and amusement, music superstar Akon teamed up with the notorious prankster Vitaly Zdorovetskiy for a Kick live stream that was as unpredictable as it was outrageous.

Known for his controversial stunts, Vitaly brought his signature brand of chaos to the table, while Akon added a touch of musical flair. 

The highlight, of course, was the moment when a child predator was apprehended on camera while Akon’s “Locked Up” played in the background. 

Adding an extra layer of irony to the situation was Akon’s own brush with controversy involving allegations of misconduct. 

While these claims have been denied, the juxtaposition of his song about incarceration playing during the arrest of a child predator created a particularly potent mix of emotions and reactions online.
