Popular American artist Akon, whose full name is Aliaune Thiam, was arrested by police in Chamblee, northeast of Atlanta, Georgia, last Friday.
Although no official statement has been issued by Akon or his representatives regarding the arrest, the arrest resulted from a driving incident where it was discovered that Akon’s driver’s licence had been suspended since January 2023, in Roswell, New Mexico.
Moreover, in September, a similar incident occurred; his white Tesla Cybertruck was found stranded on a Georgia road due to a dead battery.
Further investigation revealed that the vehicle lacked valid insurance, and the rapper’s licence suspension was tied to an earlier missed court appearance.
According to the police,Akon cooperated during the arrest and that a vape found in the vehicle was seized.
The action followed a traffic camera alert that flagged the vehicle for defaulting on an outstanding warrant.
After being booked into DeKalb County jail on November 7, Akon was released on bail the same day.
Despite the arrest, Akon resumed his musical tour in New Delhi, India, on November 10.
