Verizon removes Akon ringtones

Verizon recently announced that it will sever all ties with Senegalese R&B singer Akon, two weeks after a video surfaced of Akon simulating sex on stage with a 15-year-old girl.

Verizon has since removed Akon's ringtones, music and artwork from his platinum-selling album Konvicted from Verizon Wireless stores and handsets. [via Hot Press]
