While speaking to DJ Akademiks, French Montana spoke on a moment when Akon gave him a Hublot watch. However, Montana noted he found the watch was fake after taking the timepiece to his jewelers to get diamonds placed on it. Montana has laughed off the situation since then, noting he and Akon are still cool. Now, Akon has addressed the Hublot, confirming that he bought French a fake version of the watch.
Akon appeared on Real 92.3’s ‘The Cruz Show’ and explained that giving French the fake Hublot was not an intentional idea.
“He was happy, I was happy. We lit, we lit. Now mind you I’m not really knowing there’s specific brands [of] watches and all that, I wasn’t really a watch guy,” said the singer. He continued, “I just saw something I liked that looked nice and I got it. French clearly went to his jeweler and got it checked out, and the jeweler was like, ‘Yo, this is fake.’” Akon responded, “What do you mean fake? The s**t tick, don’t it? The s**t work, right?”
Akon then spoke on how he felt in that incident, saying, “Not only was I upset because I paid, like, five grand for each watch, in my mind that was expensive for a watch. But obviously, for a Hublot that was no money, that was a huge discount. So I’m like, ‘This ungrateful ass n***a.'” Watch above.
