Akon fakes his criminal record? It's true

Not a thug? No problem! Just make up your sordid past. The Smoking Gun has uncovered police corrections and court records that contradict much of Akon's life story he's told around town. Except, while most stars would probably hide their run-ins with the law, Akon has embellished and flat out invented them! According to countless interviews, the singer headed up a car theft ring and spent 4.5 years in jail. But guess what-he was never convicted! Some people's stupidity never fails to amuse us.
