Akon Ain’t A Real G After All
The Smoking Gun dropped a bombshell. Turns out that Akon ain’t the gansta boo he tried to convince the world he is:
Akon’s invented tales appear to be part of a cynical marketing plan, but one that has met with remarkable success. Few press interviews conclude without Akon being asked about his criminal exploits and his prison days. He obliges with canned and well-rehearsed claims, false as they may be, and compares his supposed nationwide operation to those depicted in the movies “Gone in 60 Seconds” and “New Jersey Drive.”
Akon joins a long list of studio gangsters like Dr. Dre and Ja Rule and has me wondering if he really tossed that dude off the stage last year.
In times like these, I’m missing the hell out of Eazy-E, a REAL Muthafrakkin’ G. NSFW since he’s not a role model or a Dr. Seuss, he was a gansta, and about to get stupid.

I’ve always been very vocal in my hate for Akon. I think he’s a clown. From darn near raping 14 year old girls to picking up and throwing people off the stage at his shows, hes just a douche bag. I took a little bit of time out and wrote about Akon today over at Highbrid Nation and I hope that the uncovering of his true past is a message to artists and labels that “keeping it real” doesn’t mean making up some stuff.
