Thursday, November 13, 2025 - Popular Senegalese-American singer, Akon, has reportedly been arrested in Georgia after a bench warrant was issued for his failure to appear in court over a suspended driver’s license.
According to TMZ, the whole drama started back in September
when police officers spotted a Tesla Cybertruck stranded in the
middle of the road. When they approached, they found Akon behind the wheel. He
reportedly told them the vehicle’s battery had died.
While helping him sort out the towing of the car, the
officers discovered that Akon’s driver’s license had been suspended due to
a failure to appear in court from as far back as January 2023.
The police report also revealed that an “illegal vape” was
found inside the car’s center console and was seized for destruction.
Akon was issued a citation at the scene for driving with a
suspended license and released.
However, things took a turn on November 7, when the
singer was arrested on a bench warrant in DeKalb County. Reports say
he was booked into jail and released within six hours.
The singer even posed for a mugshot — wearing a black hoodie
and looking completely expressionless.
So far, Akon’s team has not released any official statement
on the incident.
