Aliaume Damala Badara Akon Thiam, popularly known as Akon, says he doesn’t believe his close friend, Nelly raped any lady.
In a meeting with TMZ, the 44-year-old singer said his friend is innocent and only an easy target for girls who want fast cash.
TMZ reports:
We got the singer at LAX Saturday, and our guy throws him for a loop right away with the news. Akon’s clearly not buying it, though … and practically guarantees it’s not true because he knows Nelly.
Then it gets really interesting … Akon speculates the rape charge could be a case of mistaken identity or — even worse — the accuser might have made it all up to try to score an easy payday from the rapper.
Either way it’s evident — Akon thinks the rape allegations against Nelly are completely bogus … which is exactly how Nelly feels.
