he ain't hood...

oh man. it has recently surfaced that Akon has actually fabricated his "locked-down" past. read the article here http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/0416081akon1.html. apparently, it was a marketing scheme that "spun out of control." i'm sure that Akon himself " 'fessin' up" to his sordid past didn't help either. i wonder what's next now that the "Konvicted" angle has been played out. i mean, what comes after LYING about being in prison? i'm pretty sure you can't get much uncooler than that.
