10 celebs you didn’t know were muslim – This will leave you in a big shock! (With Pictures)

7. Akon

Akon was born Aliaune Damala Badara Akon Thiam and was raised by a Muslim family in Senegal and then the United States. He claims to be a devout practitioner of the religion, yet his hyper sexualized videos and lyrics have caused outrage among the Islamic faith internationally. The rapper believes that all Muslim men should have four wives and uses the religion to justify his polygamous beliefs. Yes, you read that right – Akon has three wives. He’s also been the subject of much controversy after allegations were made that he had engaged in sexual acts with underage girls. We wonder what his fellow Muslims would think about that.
