“I used the excuse that I was a fighter because it made me feel better,” Akon explained. "But I had nothing to fight for. Because my family was actually very wealthy. I was living in [New] Jersey. Me and my brother lived alone in a three-story house. The whole house belonged to us! Now that I think about it, we'd be bored like crazy looking for something to do" he added.
