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!

Akon's free concert at a shopping mall in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Wednesday erupted into a riot.

Did he hump someone else on stage???

No.

His Danish fans got all violent when police tried to evacuate the venue due to a fire alarm alert, which went off three songs into Akon's set.

Violence escalated once everyone was outside as concertgoers started throwing rocks and drinks bottles at the po-po.

Luckily no serious injuries were reported.

A bit of trouble was brewing even before the concert started. Capacity at the venue was 1,000…3,000 people showed up!

Also, what the heck was Akon doing performing at a mall concert????

Simmer down, Ashley Tisdale!

Once upon a time, we didn't think of Michael Jackson as a freak or a potential pedophile.

Back in the day, he was one of the best musicians of all time. Way back in the day!

Now, MJ has re-recorded Thriller, the best selling album of all time, for its 25th anniversary with some "contemporary" artists.

Some of the songs are hit or miss, but Akon's take on Wannabe Startin' Something is KILLER.

Enjoy it below!

Akon for hottest mug shot!

The rapper was booked on Monday in upstate New York for charges that he was physically violent towards a fan at a concert.

There was no humping, but he did throw the kid off the stage.

He's sorry. He wrote a song apologizing. But he's still pleading not guilty!

Click here to watch the video for Akon's new song, Sorry (Blame It On Me).

If MTV gave awards out for bad videos, this would be nominated for Worst Video of the Year!
