As recounted in scores of interviews since his first album, the platinum-selling "Trouble," debuted in 2004, Akon was incarcerated for a total of four-and-a-half years, including a long stretch for his role as the "ringleader of a notorious car theft operation." Akon's gang specialized in boosting Porsches, Lamborghinis, and Mercedeses, he owned four chop shops catering to "celebrities and drug dealers," and he frequently escaped from cops in high-speed pursuits. His criminal empire collapsed, though, after underlings--who "felt like they deserved more than they were getting"--cut deals and ratted him out to law enforcement. As a result of that betrayal, Akon spent the next three years in a Georgia prison. While inside, the 150-pound inmate "fought almost every day for two years," in the process becoming a "champion" who prevailed over both big and small inmates because, "I knew where to hit you to knock you out, so I didn't fear you."
When not brutally schooling fellow convicts, Akon was writing songs, including "Locked Up," his autobiographical account of prison desolation, from dwindling commissary accounts to friends and family that no longer visited or accepted collect calls.

I hate it when people “enhance” their resumes.
He looks like somebody’s jailhouse b*tch fo shizzle.
I think Hillary just found her VPee!
But most of their problems are caused by typical white persons such as myself.
Disgusting. I’ll never forget the awful video of him attacking a girl during one of his “concerts”.
We’ve all been “akonned”........*groan*
And just for the record, his “music” is awful.
“But most of their problems are caused by typical white persons such as myself.”
LOL! First belly-laugh of the day. Thanks! :)
resume inflation of Clintonian proportions
the boy got no cred now, LOL
amazing, in this day and age....a brotha without a real record....
Most people conveniently "forget" criminal convictions on their resumés. The culture that idolizes rap stars looks positively on criminal convictions. That's really sad and speaks volumes about that culture.
But most of their problems are caused by typical white persons such as myself.
Worth saying twice.
Was he born in Akron? Why would you name yourself after a city for God’s sake. Well, maybe after Montpelier
Animal
As soon as we can start as subgenre of Rap called Metrosexual , then we’ll have “artists” with names like
Montpelier.
His entirely approprate name should have been a dead giveaway.
