Rapper who exerts the same nefarious hold over celebrities as scientology or prescription drugs - seriously, he must know something pretty bad about every R’n’B singer in the entire world, otherwise he wouldn’t get to be the guest singer on all their records. And Akon first rose to fame with that “Me so lonely” record that got so annoying it made the Crazy Frog tune seem like a harmless little shanty - he’s now so rich he’s bought himself a diamond mine, in his native Africa. Some suspect his stories of spending years in prison are a little far-fetched - still, every decade needs its own Vanilla Ice. Dubious treatment of women at gigs (Youtube it).
