Akon revealed during a recent podcast that his brother Bu used to impersonate him at concerts by lip-syncing to his songs while Akon was busy elsewhere. Additionally, another brother, Omar, went as far as booking gigs under Akon's name without permission and keeping the earnings for himself. Akon mentioned that their resemblance was so striking that people couldn't distinguish between them unless they saw him in person. Despite the deception, there were no hard feelings, and Akon now laughs about it. The impersonation scheme eventually ended because Bu became too famous in the music industry, establishing a successful career as a music executive, holding roles in top record labels and discovering talents like T-Pain and Jeremih.
