Akon’s Shady Past is a Load of Krap
You know how Akon toiled in a Georgia jail for four years for his illegal work as the head of a car-heist ring? His tales of thievin’ and fighting behind bars after facing up to 75 years for a felony charge are a common theme in his songs and interviews, but it turns out it never really happened! The Smoking Gun did a whole lotta research on the Kon’s shady past, and while the rapper does have a lengthy rap sheet, the only felony he ever received was for a gun possession charge, for which he got just three months probation. In fact, the longest Akon’s ever spent in jail was just a few months, after he was busted for stealing a BMW. His rep as a “ringleader of a notorious car theft operation” - which he loves to boast about - is a total sham, presumably created by the rapper to appear tough to his millions of fans. Turns out that after all his bogus tales of life as a notorious felon, this might be his biggest con job of all. [Smoking Gun]

I use to like him as a person, but after I found out about his verbal wives I lost all respect for him. His music is okay.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Way to go on the research! I liked him, too, this is a disappointment. What I hate is having multiple wives and how he likes bragging about crimes. The worst part is, he didn’t even do the crimes. EXPOSED! What a loser…it’s not cool to commit crimes, I don’t know what he is thinking.

I now this story is real because in 1996 - 97 I met him through my manager in NC he came to promote his album “which doesnt even exist now for some reason” I have copies of it on 12 inch same font type and all!!! he was cool then cause he was kind of broke but he was signed to eastwest records a division of Atlantic/ Elektra. He told me he got a 200,000 signing bonus and he bought a diamond for his front tooth, a Jetta, ahouse and put a studio in it. He would drive up from Atlanta. But in 04 when his hit came out and I saw it was him I noticed all of the stuff he told us about himself was a lie and I knew him!!! I still have 2 copies of his first real record that they dont even admit exist….so sad he is very arrogant to….

Hip-hop, rap all this )#*% is just entertainment NOW. Stop believing this fake !&+ i grew up so hood” stories. I’m not surprised at all, because REAL RECOGNIZE REAL. Don’t y’all GET IT, AKON is A CON. He’s knows it, that’s why he’s so arrogant, he had all y’all fooled by buying his albums and being his fans. So don’t hate on him, hate on yourselves for falling for it, hahaha.
ENTERTAINMENT IS NOT REAL. YOU ARE.
