Deena Alleyne, the 14 year old in the video and photos of Akon performing at Zen has given an interview to the Trinidad Express where she laments on her experience and discusses her future plans of casting aside hip hop and dancing for the Lord.

A couple of noticeable quotes:

“I know a lot of my friends who were my age and were there,” she said.

“They asked for ID in VIP because you have to be 21 years and over to go up in VIP, but anyone was allowed to go in the general admission area.”

Johnny Soong weeps. Should an outcry occur because of this revelation contrary to what was reported by Johnny?

“When I went off the stage, everyone came telling me thanks for representing. You did well. That was so good. So I felt a little ease afterwards like, okay, it wasn’t that bad after all,” Alleyne added.

I would question the judgment of those who may be slightly intoxicated.

She said her father, pastor Dave Alleyne, did not know she attended the club and only learned of it after seeing a picture of her in the newspaper last week.

“He saw the pictures and I told him about it as well because I did not want him to hear it from anyone,” she said.

Tending to the flock are we Pastor Alleyne?

Alleyne said she plans to continue with her school studies and focus on spending more time with her family.

As for her love of dancing she plans on joining the dance ministry in her father’s church, Flaming Word Ministry and use her talent to serve God.

Read as - I am staying indoors until the 7 day syndrome of Trinidad happens and we have something new to talk about next week. Oh, and plug the ministry.

I guess Deena is coming toward the end of her 15 minutes of fame as she is alleged to be boasting of her exploits earlier in the week.

One can hope that the lesson here is learnt not only by her but by others so that this doesn’t occur and if it does, it doesn’t end up on the internet.
