Akon Lies About Prison Record....

Rapper Akon lied to fans about serving time in prison, newly-released documents reveal.

The Senegalese star, real name Aliuane Badara Thiam, claimed he was the "ringleader of a notorious car theft operation" and served a four-and-a-half year prison sentence.

But website thesmokinggun.com has published papers that prove he never set foot behind bars.

The documents reveal that although the 35-year-old Locked Up star was arrested in 1998 for possession of a stolen Bmw, the case was dropped by a Georgia court.

He has been arrested on other occasions, but the stiffest sentence he has faced was three years' probation for gun possession.
