Akon, the self-proclaimed ambassador of Senegal, was spotted leaving the airport in Nice with a Samantha Mumba look-a-like right next to him. [source]
As reported earlier, Akon loves the ladies. And so the million dollar question would decide if she is the lady of the moment or just someone who works for him. One thing these photos can confirm is that the lady has class. Akon's mystery lady is rocking a Louis Vuitton monogram speedy.
And in related news, he was spotted touching the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest site, during his visit to Jerusalem's Old City on Sunday, July 29, 2007. [source via Kevipod Music]
He sort of stands out compared to everyone else at the wall.
