jonAkon In Jail?
October 23rd 2006 06:52
Aliaune 'Akon' Thiam was born in Dakar, Senegal on October 14, 1981. He is a muslim RnB/Hip-hop singer who moved to New Jersey, U.S.A, when he was seven years old. He can speak French and English fluently.
In the early years of his life, Akon was sent to jail for three years for a car-theft charge. This however, wasn't the first time he was sent to jail. Despite this, he used the time spent behind bars working on his music ideas. Upon release, he began writing and recording his own songs in his home studio, which lead to his songs being sent to SRC/Universal where his career 'kicked off'. He released his first album, entitled "TROUBLE" which featured the songs 'Locked Up', 'Lonely', 'Bananza (Belly Dancer)' 'Pot of Gold' and 'Ghetto'. On the Australian charts, 'Locked Up' hit #33 and on the US Hot 100 it hit #8. 'Lonely' and 'Belly Dancer' were the popular singles in Australia peaking at number 1 and number 23 in the Aus singles charts. Overall,
'TROUBLE" sold 3 million copies worldwide, and 1.4 million copies of that 3 million,being in America.
Akon's upcoming album, "KONVICTED" is scheduled to be released by the 21st November 2006. The album will include collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Styles P, and Konvict Muzik label mates, Brick and Lace. Akon has just released the single 'Smack That' featuring Eminem, which currently stands at number 4 on the U.S Hot 100 chart.
In late 2007, Akon will be releasing a movie about his life. The title has
apparently been confirmed to, "Money, Kundi, Power, Respect: A Hustler's Dream".

She probably didn't want to get in trouble by her parents because she was somewhere she wasn't suppose to be, doing something she wasn't suppose to be doing. So what better to do then say rape ah. Plus sa passe bien because she was 14 so even if she was willing to have sex with him its autimatically rape cause she was underage. Ya, so I think that story is totally stupid and should be forgotten cause its this girls fault, not his.
Another thing i heard about though, I dont know if this is a rumour or if its actually true. I heard somewhere that Akon was doing a concert somewhere, and some kid threw something on stage. So he told security to get the kid and bring him on stage. When the kid got onstage he picked him up and threw him back into the crowd, causing another innocent kid to suffer from a concussion or something. That story is kinda crazy, I mean if its true I think Akon needs to work on his patients, but then again it kinda makes me laugh cause it's so insane for someone to do that, lol. But hey, I dont even know if it's true.
Anyways, It really doesn't make a difference to me what akon does, Honestly I dont really care about him..or any other artist for that matter, I just like his music
