akon 300x239 Personal life of AkonPersonal life and allegations

Akon has been rumored to have three wives, however he has since revealed that he only has one, named Tomeka. Akon claims he has six children with three different women in an interview with Blender. Akon claims to have great relationships with all his children, and that he wishes to keep his family protected from the public eye. He also states that his religion made him a better person, and provides guidance to how he acts among others in life.

He also has his own charity for underprivileged children in Africa called Konfidence Foundation. Akon owns a diamond mine in South Africa and denies the existence of blood diamonds (also known as “conflict diamonds”) saying, “I don’t even believe in conflict diamonds. That’s just a movie. Think about it. Ain’t nobody thought about nothing about no conflict diamonds until the movie came out. However, he has since stated that he does accept that blood diamonds exist, and that he is partial-owner of an African mine that is dedicated to avoiding use of blood diamonds while also donating profits to local communities. He allegedly had a previous occupation as a drug dealer but has stated in interviews that he’s never used drugs, though some of his lyrics would suggest otherwise.

“The Smoking Gun” reported in April 2008 that much of Akon’s purported criminal and incarceration history has been dramatically embellished. In particular, Akon’s claims to be part of an auto-theft ring and his claim to have spent three years in prison were challenged with court records and interviews with detectives involved in Akon’s case.

According to “The Smoking Gun’s” article, Akon was not convicted of any crime and did not serve any time in prison from 1999 to 2002 as previously claimed. He stated that “The Smoking Gun’s” attempt to “discredit” him “makes no sense as it is something he is trying to forget.” Akon retorted that he never spent 3 years in prison consecutively, but many shorter sentences that add up to three years, and cites that as the mis-understanding by The Smoking Gun’s article  Despite his alleged criminal history, Akon proclaims that he has turned his life around.

    I was reading something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your position on it is diametrically contradicted to what I read earlier. I am still mulling over the various points of view, but I’m tipped heavily toward yours. And no matter, that’s what is so good about modern-day democracy and the marketplace of thoughts online.

    One acknowledges that our life seems to be not very cheap, nevertheless some people need cash for different things and not every person earns big sums cash. So to receive fast home loans and commercial loan will be good way out.
