Akon arrested in Georgia, mugshot revealed

Akon was arrested in Georgia last Thursday.

The “Locked Up” singer was booked in DeKalb County on Nov. 6 — but released after only six hours.

The 52-year-old’s arrest stemmed from an out-of-county warrant from Roswell, in Georgia’s Fulton County, over a suspended license, Page Six confirmed on Wednesday.

The warrant stemmed from Sept. 10 when a police officer noticed Akon’s Tesla Cybertruck “stranded” with a dead battery, according to an incident report obtained by Page Six.

While waiting for a tow truck to arrive, the officer realized Akon had a suspended license for failure to appear for a January 2023 court date — so the songwriter was issued a citation.

The songwriter wore a black hoodie in his mugshot.

Akon’s lawyers did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The Grammy nominee, born Aliaune Thiam, is best known for “Lonely,” “Smack That” and more hit songs.

His personal life recently made headlines when his wife, Tomeka Thiam, filed for divorce after 28 years of marriage.

In September, Thiam sought joint legal custody and sole physical custody of their 17-year-old daughter, Journey.

Her filing confirmed that Akon has nine children, three years after the American Music Award winner said in a VladTV interview that he is the father of “seven boys and two girls.”

During the 2022 sitdown, however, he refused to set the record straight on whether he was a polygamist.

The “Right Now (Na Na Na)” crooner decided to “let that stay a rumor.”

He explained, “I like the fact that people are guessing now, I love it. I’m not confirming nor denying. You go online, you may see nine, you might see seven, you might see four.

“I love it, though,” Akon quipped.

The following year, he gushed on the “Zeze Mills Show” that he is “there for every single one of” his children.
