If you ever met or saw Akon perform, you might want to double-check your photos because it may not have been him at all!
While appearing on The Morning Hustle show last week, the musician, whose real name is Aliaune Damala Badara Akon Thiam, admitted his brother Abou Thiam used to fill in for him when he was overbooked and couldn’t attend certain gigs! Wanting to “clear some things up,” the Locked Up singer dished:
OMG!

The radio personalities then wondered why Akon chose to do this, to which he replied:
On one occasion he sent his brother to perform a big show an LA radio station wanted the singer at — even though “Bu can’t sing.” The way they pulled it off was to have Bu in a hat which Akon normally didn’t wear. When on stage and lip-syncing, nobody could tell it wasn’t the real deal. LOLz!
But wait, it didn’t stop there! There was a “sequel” with Akon’s other brother, Omar, who “would do it without getting permission.” Hah!! There were dozens of Akons roaming around and nobody knew! Hear the star own up to the hilarious scheme (below)!
Can you believe he pulled this off?! LMFAO!

oral arguments in a copyright case on Wednesday, setting up a hypothetical in which he was “a Prince fan, which I was in the ’80s.”That comment prompted liberal Justice Elena Kagan to interject, “No longer?”And Thomas responded to laughter: “So only on a Thursday night.” The case involves a photographer who is suing the Andy Warhol Foundation arguing that the artist, who died in 1987, breached her copyright by using her 1981 portrait of the pop star for a series of images Warhol created for Vanity Fair in 1984. (The magazine had paid photographer Lynn Goldsmith $400 to use her portrait as an “artist’s reference.”) The case could have big implications across media about the “fair use” of existing artistic images and works, and what might be owed to copyright owners from later artists who create follow-on works.
