Akon's plans on being in his 20's for the next 10 years

It is not news that most celebs lie about their age to keep 'em fresh in the game, but it surely is a surprise to know that Akon has joined their ranks.

"Numerous reports have put his age between 25 to 35 years old. In 2006, he gave his age as 25. But now, he claims his birth certificate shows he was born on April 16, 1977, which would make him 31. Some have accused Akon of trying to push back his age. But the singer, who was born in the United States but spent his early life in Senegal, where his family is from, says he never knew it. “In Africa … age is not important over there. They don’t care. People only focus on it here (America) and in Europe.” Akon says when people ask, he just gives him a figure that comes to mind. “I feel like I’m 21 right now,” he says. “And I’ll be 21 for the next 10 years.”

The oddity is that Akon could still pass for being in his 20's.Thank goodness that "black don't crack!"
