In this clip, Akon detailed how he was eventually caught for stealing cars. He was locked up while on trial but eventually beat the case and was given three-years probation for another charge. Akon said he did a combined three years in jail but didn't do those years straight through. However, to market his music career, Akon decided to omit just how he did those three years behind bars.
