It's been a rough several days for Akon. His name is being dragged through the mud by the father of fellow singer T-Pain, and one of his employees reportedly lost $300,000 worth of belongings after his house was robbed at gun point.
According to TMZ.com, 4 to 5 "black males" -- brandishing firearms -- entered a Van Nuys home Tuesday night occupied by a man who works for Akon, and took off with a number of his personal items, including expensive stereo and recording equipment. The suspects also reportedly grabbed keys to a Mercedes.
Meanwhile, Akon himself has become the target of Shaheed Najm, father and former manager of T-Pain, for allegedly creating a permanent emotional and financial rift with his son.
In an interview with Ozone magazine, Najm says the drama began during T-Pain’s negotiations to sign with Akon’s Konvict Music. According to Najm, his son fired him as his manager after Akon and his brother Bu spread lies to T-Pain behind his back.
“Unknown to me, they were having different discussions behind the scenes. Akon had my son signing papers without contacting me, knowing that I’m his manager,” Najm stated. “[Akon and Bu] spread rumors that I’m on crack. Most folks don’t know this, but I’m on a waiting list for a heart transplant. I’ve had a triple bypass and a stroke since dealing with the [T-Pain's company] Nappy Headz. For them to disgrace me like this and treat me like a bad daddy – that’s why I’m fighting back. I’ve let a lot of things go without commenting out of respect for my son. And I didn’t sue to get my money because that’s my child. I love him more than I love money.”
Does anyone watch BEHIND THE MUSIC anymore? Does Suge Knight ring any bells? With company names like Nappy Headz and Konvict, one might think twice before signing on the dotted line.
Besides, Akon looks like a crackhead.
We're just saying!!!
