Have a look at Akon's full name- quite a mouthful

Akon

You know sometimes you just assume you know someone without really knowing them. I am sure that international musician and superstar Akon falls into this category. I just got to know that his full name is actually "Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam" and I am like- say what?
I think we should be very thankful that he has shortened it to "Akon" or what do you think?
