Akon

Is Akon a fraud?  According to TheSmokingGun.com Akon has lied about his so-called past criminal lifestyle.  Akon has claimed that he served 4 1/2 years in prison for various felonies, including running car theft operation.  However, he was convicted of one felony for gun possession which ended in a guilty plea with three years probation.

Akon was also arrested for stealing a BMW.  As a result he was held in an Atlanta jail for several months before charges were dropped against him.  That’s his criminal past!     

According to TheSmokingGun.com "Akon's ad nauseum claims about his criminal career and resulting prison time have been, to an overwhelming extent, exaggerated, embellished, or wholly fabricated.....Police, court, and corrections records reveal that the entertainer has created a fictionalized back-story 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."
