The Curious Case of Akon
Akon has been keeping his real age in hopes to appeal to his fans for a longer amount of time. In a recent interview, the singer said “All it’s going to do is depress me. I don’t want to know I’m getting older. Then I’ll start to think about getting checkups and insurance. I don’t want that.” There’s still debate on his actual age as different reports claimed that he’s anywhere from 25 to 35 years old. In an interview back in 2006, Akon said he was 25. Now he claims he’s 31 according to his birth certificate showing he was born on April 16, 1977. Wikipedia claims from several different sources that he was actually born in 1973. When he gets asked about his age, he gives them whatever comes to mind. He said “I feel like I’m 21 right now. And I’ll be 21 for the next 10 years.”
