Akon

The singer's brothers Bu and Omar Thiam used to occasionally perform as the "Locked Up" artist during concerts.

"It's literally that simple."

The "I Wanna Love You" hitmaker has explained the sacrifices, power dynamics, and communication involved to sustain a poly lifestyle.

The R&B and pop vocalist started wearing a hairpiece after noticing gradual hair loss.

He assures it's still in development.

According to new documents, the Senegalese-American hitmaker has filed a petition to contest giving spousal support to Tomeka Thiam, his wife of 29 years.

The Grammy-nominated artist was taken into custody this week after police discovered an outstanding warrant related to a suspended license charge.

Thiam cites irreconcilable differences in her split from Akon, asking for custody of their 17-year-old child.

"[...] you’re gonna see a lot of misinformation on the internet.," Akon said of his Akon City project.

The singer bit off more than he could chew with his Senegal city, and now the land will be used to house hotels, apartments, a marina and more.

The artist said fans couldn't tell the difference between him and his brother Omar: "O was a straight gangsta about it."

“We would have real conversations. I'd be like, ‘Yeah, Pain. I don't think you need to buy that car," Akon recalled.

Akon talked about his history with the pop icon, who started her career on his label.

Akon said he's planned to remake his catalog in the country music style for the "last five years."

2024 marks 20 years since Akon made his studio debut with 'Trouble,' featuring hits "Locked Up" and "Lonely."

Akon declined to get specific about the case when hit with a Diddy question from a paparazzo at LAX this week.

Diddy's homes in Los Angeles and Miami were recently raided by law enforcement in connection with a federal sex trafficking case.

The lineup includes an endless array of A-list artists, including Lil Wayne, Nas, Snoop Dogg, and Alicia Keys.
