Akon Lied About Prison Record
Akon lied to fans about serving time in prison, newly-released documents reveal. The Senegalese star, real name Aliuane Badara Thiam, claimed he was the "ringleader of a notorious car theft operation" and served a four-and-a-half year prison sentence.
But website thesmokinggun.com has published papers that prove he never set foot behind bars.
The documents reveal that although the 35-year-old "Smack That" singer was arrested in 1998 for possession of a stolen BMW, the case was dropped by a Georgia court.
He has been arrested
on other occasions, but the stiffest sentence he has faced was three years’
probation for gun possession.
