Playlouder - Music is the Network

It was an up and down year for Akon. The Smoking Gun revealed his self-proclaimed criminal past to be a pack of lies, but most people didn't mind and continued to buy his records anyway. Asked what the worst thing about this past year for him had been, he said it was being treated like a bum abroad.

“What I hated this year…Of course when you travel, the traveling ain’t as comfortable as it used to because the politics played such a big role,” Akon told XXLMag.com. “The United States ain’t as loved as they used to be. In certain territories we got treated a little harsh because we had U.S. passports, but thanks to Obama we gon be able to fix that.”

Ha!
