So Basically Akon, You’re A Liar!

When we were first introduced to Akon, he was known to us, as a past-criminal that decided to change his ways to better himself, by recording music for the public. The story through interviews, and his music content was; he was a ring leader of notorious car theft operation, landed a 4 and half year bid after numerous attempts by law enforcement to incarcerate him. During his stay in the pen, he crafted the song “Locked-Up” which he recorded and debuted featuring Jadakiss,
WELL…the good folks at “the smoking gun”, are claiming that his story, was a bit fabricated (more then a bit actually)
While the performer’s rap sheet does include a half-dozen arrests, Akon has only been convicted of one felony, for gun possession. That 1998 New Jersey case ended with a guilty plea, for which the singer was sentenced to three years probation. Another 1998 bust, this one in suburban Atlanta, has been seized upon by Akon and transformed into the big case that purportedly sent him to prison (thanks to his snitching cohorts) for three fight-filled years. In reality, Akon was arrested for possession of a single stolen BMW and held in the DeKalb County jail for several months before prosecutors dropped all charges against him.
So there was no conviction. There was no prison term between 1999 and 2002. And he was never “facing 75 years,” as the singer claimed in one videotaped interview.

Yikes, so the whole world is full of liars, Hillary does it twice, and then Akon, but I did smell something fishy, his background story sounded all too much like a bad movie…

I’ve always been very vocal in my hate for Akon. I think he’s a clown. From darn near raping 14 year old girls to picking up and throwing people off the stage at his shows, hes just a douche bag. I took a little bit of time out and wrote about Akon today over at Highbrid Nation and I hope that the uncovering of his true past is a message to artists and labels that “keeping it real” doesn’t mean making up some stuff.
