Akon’s False Felonious Capers…
In 2008, “Locked Up” crooner Akon recounted a tale to Rolling Stone magazine about his criminal past saying he spent over 3 years in prison for heisting a BMW in 1998. “I was driving a BMW 325, on my way to the chop shop,” Akon told Rolling Stone. “That’s the slowest car in the whole fleet, the BMW 325. I’d been in high-speed pursuit before and always got away, but this time I didn’t because the car was too slow.”
A short time later, thesmokinggun.com exposed that Akon had padded his jail time by about ooh…2 and ½ years! Police records show that Kon only spent five months in jail for lifting the Beamer.
