Akon says… ‘I don’t know how old I am’
Singer claims he doesn’t know his own age…and doesn’t want to know.
A recent interview with Akon revealed the singer really doesn’t know how old he is. Apparently the singer is happy not knowing the real truth claiming, “”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.”
Several media outlets have reported the African raised singer as being between 25 to 35 years old. In 2006, he gave his age as 25. But now, he claims his birth certificate shows he was born on April 16, 1977, which would make him 31.
Several people suspect Akon of trying to push back his age in order to capitalize on younger listeners and prolong his music career. The singer, who was born in the United States but spent his early life in Senegal, where his family is from, says he never knew his age.
When people ask, he just gives him a figure that comes to mind. “I feel like I’m 21 right now,” he says. “And I’ll be 21 for the next 10 years. Said a BET comedian of the odd admission, “A wise man once said ‘If you scratch a lie…you’ll find the devil’. In this situation, Akon is the mutha-fucking devil”.
