Akon Faces 2 Lawsuits in 2 Weeks

US singer Akon headlined Star mega Jam in 2006

Senegalese-American pop-urban singer Akon has been sued for the second time in the space of two weeks. This time Akon faces a lawsuit from lawyers he hired last year.

According to the lawsuit filed against the five-time Grammy Nominee, Akon employed the services of a team of lawyers at law firm YOSS which covered civil/business matters. That firm is now alleging the singer refused to pay fees totalling to $39, 363.74 (N6.3m) for legal services rendered.

Akon has in response to the suit asked a judge to dismiss the case. It is still unclear whether he wants to settle out of court.

In February, the Konvict Music/Kon Live record label boss was sued for $51,000 (N8.1m) by a local contracting company Southern Electric for allegedly not paying his construction bill.

Akon has recently been linked with a number of Nigerian music stars including 2face, Wizkid and Psquare, appearing in the latter’s newest video ‘Chop My Money’.

    The reason why they took Akon to court is because they know he is super rich and they want a big chuck of his money. We all remember what people them did to the later pop icon Micheal Jackson.
    They all gold diggers! Citigist say ooo
