American singer, August Alsina is in the news for the wrong reasons.
The 23-year-old known for his singing prowess and brilliant look couldn’t control himself while performing at a Baton Rogue concert in Louisiana on Friday, September 25, 2015.
The music star had brought a female fan on stage and made her to sit while he sang to her. As he performed, he placed his hands around her neck and then moves it downwards and grabbed her breasts.
The smiling fan intervened by covering her boobs with her hand.
As expected, Twitter users have reacted to what they consider sexual assault on the female fan:
August Alsina living his dream, and his dream is sexual harassment http://t.co/qA2Q3MwFY3

In the case of Akon, it involved bringing an underaged girl onstage. This August Alsina video is disturbing & cringeworthy. A damb gropefest

Some other fans felt the discussion should be extended to female artistes who have previously given lap dances to their male fans on stage.
Others felt the fan enjoyed August Alsina fondling her breasts. Some others blamed the fan for her outfit.
