As previously reported, the Smoking Gun published an article a month ago that claimed Akon maunfactured most of his criminal past, including being the ringleader of a “notorious” car-theft ring, plus they said he didn’t spend four and a half years in prison, as he has said. The Smoking Gun said that Akon spent only a few months in an Atlanta jail for stealing a single car, according to police, court and corrections records.
Akon is now responding to these statements and talking about how the report has changed his rep. “It’s an article,” he said. “Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions and views. At the end of the day, the Konvict movement is keeping me out of jail. It’s nothing I want to glorify or go back to. Honestly, I’m glad something like that came out, because it opens the minds of other people who’re thinking positive.”
This should be nothing new to people. most artists' backgrounds are fabricated to make them more accessible for people to buy. Perfect example would be the exploitation of 50 Cent allegedly being shot nine times. You know the shooter had to be the worst shot on earth. I actually don't believe (and I'm not the first one to say this) he was shot that many times.
