Akon mobbed by London fans

AKON has revealed how he had to take shelter in a fast food restaurant to escape hundreds of screaming fans.

The US R&B star was in Leicester Square and decided to go and see a film without his minders in tow.

On his way to the cinema, he stopped to film a fight on his mobile phone.

Speaking to the Daily Star, he said: "The intention was to go and watch a movie, but as we were walking there I spotted this little catfight in the middle of the street.
"It was really funny so I started filming it on my phone. I forgot who I was for a second, and people started to notice me - before I knew it I was being mobbed by about 300 fans."
He took shelter in a nearby fast food restaurant but then staff had to smuggle him out of the back entrance after the surging mob of fans shattered a window.

He said: "I had to run to the nearby Burger King, but it got so crazy with people following that a window ended up getting smashed. They had to sneak us out the back and I never did get to see that film."
