"[The cops] play my song "Locked Up" in their cars when they pick kids up and are taking them to jail. The police told me that the song is the police department's anthem. It doesn't get realer than that." - Akon

Akon has had many troubles with the law in his life, including a car-theft charge in which he was in jail for three years. He has also gone to jail on many other occasions. Currently, he is planning to work on a full-length movie about his life. The title has been confirmed as Money, Power, Kundi & Respect: A Hustler's Dream, and the release date will be in late 2007. He also appeared in "Poppin' Tags", an episode of television crime-show CSI, performing "Snitch" alongside Obie Trice. (read more)

Akon - "Sorry, Blame It On Me" 

As life goes on I'm starting to learn more and more about responsibility
And I realize everything I do is affecting the people around me
So I want to take this time out to apologize for things I have done
And things that have not occurred yet
And the things they don't want to take responsibility for

Sorry, Blame It On Me Lyrics

AKON TAKES THE BLAME. Or is it a horrible attempt for sympathy in light of his actions....?
