Singer Akon was arrested last week in DeKalb County, Georgia, as per police records.

The Locked Up singer, whose real name is Aliune Thiam, was arrested by the Chamblee Police Department on Friday morning and was released from jail after six hours. The star’s mugshot showed him stone-faced in a black hoodie.

Officers who arrested Akon claim that the incident arose after Flock security cameras alerted them that a car registered to someone with an out-of-county arrest warrant was at Tint World.

This is a leading name when it comes to an auto styling center where he had dropped off his vehicle. CPD’s arrest report mentioned how the star was calm during the arrest and told officers that he was aware of his outstanding warrant, as per the arrest warrant attained by The Independent.

Akon was wanted in Roswell, Georgia, after an incident that arose two months back when cops found he was driving with a suspended license, as per the incident report.

The Roswell Police Department mentioned how the rapper got into trouble in September after cops found him stranded on the road due to a dead battery in his Tesla Cybertruck. His vehicle was towed, and then officers discovered he had a suspended license for failure to appear in January 2023. Cops issued him a citation, took his license, and confiscated an illegal vape that was in the center console of his car at the time.
