Akon guard hit doorman

-

SINGER Akon’s bodyguard attacked a hotel doorman who did not recognise the Smack That star.

Mamadou Ndiaye, 40, was fined £500 after being found guilty of assaulting Christophe­r Smith.

The 20st minder reacted “with substantia­l force” after Mr Smith asked to check Akon’s key at the five-star Hilton in Cardiff.

Ndiaye, of Cannes, France, told city magistrate­s: “I wasn’t aggressive – I didn’t punch him.”
