'Koned!
Filed under: Akon
Looks like hip hop 'bad boy' Akon has been blowing a lot of smoke up our asses.
The Smoking Gun has unearthed police, court and corrections records that prove the multi-platinum musician 'created a fictionalized backstory that serves as the narrative anchor for his recorded tales of isolation, violence, woe, and regret. Akon has overdubbed his biography with the kind of grit and menace that he apparently believes music consumers desire from their hip-hop stars.'
Liar liar pants on fire!
So, there was no conviction and he wasn't 'locked up' between 1999 and 2002.
Duped by marketing again, kids!
The Smoking Gun also expresses shock that the media, and especially the music press, failed to take 'Kon to task on his claim before they did!
Akon's manager declined the offer to comment on the exaggerated, embellished, and/or wholly fabricated claims SG discovered. His record rep failed to get in touch before the story went to press.
We're disappointed but not shocked.
C'mon…we live in a world where we have to ask if what we're watching on TV is reality or 'real' reality!

Damn, i hate Akon…
loser
FIRST!!!!!!! yeah
First again oi oi oi
Haha eejit

seriously, i cant handle hearing this guy on many more songs, dude needs to chill
hes an idiot
WHO CARES!!! I don't like him because of his past…..I like him becasue of his music! He's not running for president people, he's just here to entertain!
what a loser another case of vanilla ice
1th
PEREZ I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
fake azzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
He's so ASHY!!
since when did it become cool to be "locked up" sounds trashy to me.
dang that nose is wide.
Who gives a rat's ass about any of this. It is a common tool in marketing for talent. It's the same as Madonna acting like she is queen shit and selling her song to sell shampoo. It's all a ploy.
teeth and eyes
Meh.
He is just doingh what all American wannabe does. Making a profile to make cash. Perez Hilton does the same thing. Blows up ones one ass to seem big.
Meh, meh meh.
Just listening to his girly voice should be enough to know this guy has never been in jail.
bitch needs to moisturize!!
you should have known it was all lies… his teeth are a dead give-away. they are too perfect, too natural. Bet he had braced all through junior high! Only time he had to be tough was when they tightened the wire.
ohhhh akon. now i don't like him, hes a lier
It's fucking insane that someone would lie about being in prison to seem cooler. Only in rap…. unreal.
Poser. Why do you lie about going to jail? I hate those guys that act like they are tough and they're hard body. Dumbass. I loved "Locked Up", everyone loved even the guys in jail.
Can we say Vanilla Ice?
I dont think much people respected him even before this news….he's a joke.
He hit on me so bad one night here in a club in atlanta i felt threatened. I had to leave, literally because he was driving me crazy. I didn't even know it was "akon" until I saw his photo in the paper. FREAK.
he is not the only rapper to lie about that stuff.
its a shame they think breaking the law is cool. what a great message for our impoverished youth. they want someone to look up to and these rappers make money off of saing things that can ruin ones life
What next 50 Cent was never shot, and Taylor Swift is a teen drunk !
Now they should investigate his age. He says his is 38 or 29, but I heard his is like forty something.
I meant 28 or 29…sorry
studio gangsta
NICE TAN
i don't care whether he was in jail or not. i like his music don't care about his life.
And he dodged sniper fire in Bosnia too.
Yeh i remember reasing sumwhere that he cums from a rich family in Senegal and that he still or used 2 have multiple wives. Dus anyone know about this? Anyone heard about this???
Akon is an amazing performer! One of the nicest most geniuine people I have ever met! Who cares about his past…A hit record is a hit record!
Re: jade – His family was in the music biz….He came from a well to do family….Never heard about the mulitple wives thing…
I beg to differ, Perez. I always knew Akon was a hack! Never for once did I think he was "locked uuup". If he ever was, he took it up the butt 24/7, hence the whiney ass sound on the radio.
Can you say ICE ICE BABY
Re: Aquaboogie –
His B-day is supposedly April 16, 1973 or '72. Documents exist saying both according to the Smoking Gun article
Re: jade –
The article says he was morn in Missouri, moved to the Senegal around 10 and moved to Jersey and then Atlanta as a teen
He has at least 2 baby moms and 1 wife.
Isn't Akon from Senegal (Africa)? Were his records there checked?
send him over to Gibraltar island
with the rest of his kind they will
do the right thing
He pulled a Vanilla Ice…Way to Funny…WHo really even cares. as long as the musics good thats all that matters.
So when is he going to jail for real for throwing that fan from the stage of one of his concerts?
What a nice change! I'd rather have my hip hop stars lying about their criminal activity than actually being out there running guns and drugs, victimizing people! Maybe this will start a new trend…
DOES HE KNOW THAT AKON IS A TYPE OF DWARFISM? IS HE TELLING US HE IS A 'MIDGET' IN AT LEAST ONE WAY?
I think you mean 'Konned'… Seriously, when 2 vowels go walking the first one does the talking!
What a moron! Useless and worthless to humanity. No wonder gansta cRAP is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo stupid. Only white trash, ghetto trash and the uneducated listen to it any more
Most people with criminal records try to HIDE their transgressions. If musicians had to fill out an employment application, what would this jerk have put then?
How ironic- in order to get hired he would have had to put that he had never been in trouble. I'm unemployed right now and the jobs I apply for require background checks. And this fuckwad WANTS people to think he's a con. Good luck in the real world with that shit, dude.
they should check up on Amy Adams happy life story. My girlfriend lived with her for a while and those are not the stories we heard….
Don't ya'll get it! Acon? A CON!!!
Only in a world this fucked up (or in an industry as desperate as the music biz), does the fabrication of a prison record HELP your career.
Sad, pathetic and considering his past behavior, justice that this comes to life.
Yet another fraudulent celebrity.
What a dork. He molests teens and has a fake voice (synthasized) and a fake background. Fakon: the studio gangster that violates Americas youth.
Too bad his fake story couldn't have made his music better–
Like i said b4 every time there is a post about a black or brown person the racist rhetoric comes out. The topic could be about fucking strawberries and the niglet comments come like the wind. I wonder than why white people are quick to say brown people use the race card when most of the times we're just fending off comments like monkey, niglet, or my favorite niggynig.By the way as a black women i'm not offended just wondering..
Who cares, you guys act like all people in the entertainment industry are honest about who they are… like do you guys think Perez Hilton is really his name.. no.
can't stand akon. glad someone called his ashy ass out.
also all you perez fans, no need to be ravcist. you guys are some pussies. won't say shit to his faces. hide behind your sonys and macs.
He looks way to Metrosexual to have been in jail. I know because I'm gay and I have been in jail three times. There is NO way this dude has ever been in jail. You can tell by looking. He is more confused by what he thinks people want to see in him as a performer than anything else, ie: He is trying to please everyone. That NEVER works. I'm just sayin' ………….
Dear Perez,
I just have to say, when i heard the buzz about " perez hiton" this fab. gay guy who makes is livivng off of blogging and drawing ontop of someone else's pics, i must admit, i was amazed. and pretty curious as to what you were all about.
then i saw you in an interview. Sorry to say, but theres not much to you. not impressed at all.
bummer eh?
Don't judge a book by its cover for serious.
this guy is a fake bitch, and his voice is fucking annoying.
Did anyone tell Alicia Keys about this?
a black person telling a lie, NO WAI!
Re: superman – LOL. I agree
Daaaaamn his face is CRUSTY! Has e ever heard of cocoa butter?
His last album sold like 10 million copies…like he give a fuck what we know!
SUCKAAAHS!!
