Akon, Who Recently Got His Car Stolen, Spoke About Running a Car Theft Ring (Flashback)

In this flashback, Akon spoke about getting into the streets after being accepted by people in the life by fighting a lot of people. He explained that he was introduced to carjacking from a friend while he was working at a barbershop. Akon then detailed how he learned the inner workings of the situation, but it was a meeting with Wyclef that made him start focusing on music. After moving to Atlanta, which Akon called “paradise,” Akon continued carjacking, but he admits that he felt so bad about what he was doing that he returned a car. He then thought of a more ingenious way to get cars, and Akon also spoke about how he used his studio to launder the money, which you can hear more about above.
