Blogpost 6: Akon "Sorry Blame It On Me" Meaning


Aliaune Damala Badara Thiam (Akon) is Some guy that mainly sings the chorus to others rap songs and is famous for saying his name and the rappers at the begining of the song. Akon is highly known for his songs like smack that, I wanna love you, Right now (Na Na Na). I'm very curious by his song Sorry blame it on me, to whom does he address the message in the lyrics?



 

In the article entitled Sorry, Blame It On Me Meaning, by anonymous akon is acknowledging his responsibility and for his actions for his song he is saying sorry repeatedly, the song is like a confession to his wrong actions. In this song he is apologizing to three persons he is apologizing to his wife, his mother and a fifteen year old girl in trinidad and tobago. In the second verse akon is apologizing to his wife for spending less and less time with her and their sons. In the two verses after the first play of the chorus, he is apologizing to his mother. When Akon was young his father found another woman in his life and since he believed in polygamy, he soon married her without his first wife's consent. To add to this pain, Akon started stealing and was first placed in jail at the age of 15 for armed robbery and later for a 3 year sentence for grand theft auto, increasing the pain of his mother. And lastly he apologizes to a fifteen year old girl in trinidad and tobago, Akon was at club zen, a 21 plus club, where a 15 year entered using a fake ID. Akon started grinding with her and soon after the club was shut down. He apologizes to the little girl for her embarassment and for the club being shut down. 


According to the second article entitled Samini Versus Akon: Who Makes A Better Apology Song? by Ameyaw Debrah, I have read is the fact that these stars have released a hit song to make a bad situation right. After an issue has occured between akon and the under-aged Danah Alleyne, daughter of the local pastor, Akon decided to make a song to apologize for his wrong doing. "Blame It On Me" became an international hit and was put on his album "konvicted" but had the R&B star really regret his actions?
From a part of "blame it on me" akon is telling that why should he be the blame for that happening, all he wanted to do was to entertain and it's not his fault that he danced with a fifteen year because the club says its for 21 and above. All he wanted to say he shouldn't be the one who is apologizing and it's not his fault he just said that he loves his fans so he taked the blame, even though it's not his fault.

 

In the end akon shouldn't be the blame for that controversy, the club should be responsible for that happening because a fifteen year old have entered without knowing she's underaged. I say that akon shouldn't be a part of this situation he just wants to give entertainment to people who is idolizing him to give joy to the people who is listening to his songs.
