Akon was one of the performers at Nelly's Hot in Herre Festival in Toronto, Canada, which took place at Downsview Park on June 24. The Senegalese-American rapper spiced up his set by hopping into a huge inflatable bubble and crowd-surfing. In video of the performance (below), 'Kon can be seen encased in a transparent bubble with mic in hand.
