Just when Akon thought he'd put all his legal troubles for that fan-tossing incident behind him, he's being sued by another fan -- this time, for diving off the stage himself.

Just when Akon thought he'd put all his legal troubles for that fan-tossing incident behind him, he's being sued by another fan -- this time, for diving off the stage himself.

Matthew Graham says that Akon permanently injured him when he jumped from the stage at the Bayfest festival in Alabama in 2009. He claims that he hurt his head, back, knee and torso, and that he's now disabled. He doesn't say exactly how disabled he is, though.

Graham is suing for medical expenses, lost wages, physical pain and mental anguish. He's also suing festival organizers.Source: TMZThe Angles:

  • Akon just needs to keep his distance from the crowd. Too many bad things can happen.
  • This happened in 2009. Kinda sounds like a money grab.
  • Not enough is done for fan safety at some of those festival shows. Lots of people jammed into a small space -- anything could happen.
