Akon

French Montana

<a href="/profile/Akon" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Akon</a> confirmed that he bought <a href="/profile/FrenchMontana" class="text-word" target="_blank" >French Montana</a> a <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/405230-french-montana-claims-akon-gifted-him-a-fake-watch-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fake Hublot watch</a> while appearing on Real 92.3’s The Cruz Show, earlier this week. The iconic singer explained that he didn&#8217;t do so intentionally.



&#8220;He was happy, I was happy. We lit, we lit,&#8221; Akon said on the show. &#8220;Now mind you I’m not really knowing there’s specific brands [of] watches and all that, I wasn’t really a watch guy. 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, &#8216;Yo, this is fake.'&#8221;

He added: &#8220;I was like, &#8216;What do you mean fake? The shit tick, don’t it? The shit work, right?'&#8221;



&#8220;Not only was I upset because I paid, like, five grand for each watch,&#8221; Akon went on. &#8220;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, &#8216;This ungrateful ass n***a.'&#8221;



Montana had joked about Akon&#8217;s fake Hublot during an appearance on Drink Champs back in 2021.



Elsewhere in his interview on The Cruz Show, Akon discussed using his brother as a body double, sharing new music dropping on TikTok, and more.
