Akon has confirmed in a new interview that he has 'multiple' wives, telling a US podcast that his polyamorous marriage operates under a strict one-way rule in which he is 'the only man' in the relationship and his partners are not allowed other lovers.
The 53-year-old Lonely and Smack That singer has long faced rumours about his private life, but has usually kept the details off the record. Speaking on the We Need to Talk podcast, he addressed the speculation directly, describing what he called his 'poly' set-up and outlining the hierarchy that governs it. The exact number of wives remains unclear and has not been independently confirmed, so the arrangement rests entirely on his own account.
