It looks like Akon is more of a studio gangster than a real gangster. The Smoking Gun decided to investigate his claims that he was the leader of car theft ring and owned several chop shops that were “frequented by celebrities and drug dealers”. The Smoking Gun reports that Akon was merely busted in 1998 in suburban Atlanta for driving a stolen BMW and ended up being held in a DeKalb County jail for five months before prosecutors dropped all charges against him.
Although, this is interesting. Akon released his first album about 4 or 5 years ago and now someone decides to do a background check. At this point its like who cares!!! What I want to know about is his wives!!! I heard he has several. Why doesn’t The Smoking Gun check that out? Hip-hop is littered with studio gangstas. At this point its as common as brothas rockin’ white-tees.
Here’s the link if you are interested.
