Akon, a Senegalese-American artist, has said that he has never smoked or consumed alcohol in his life.
The 50-year-old artist will go on his first European tour in April. He confessed that the most of his preparation is centered on health and fitness, and that the only thing that gets him excited is sugar.
In an interview with The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre feature, the famed artist stated “I have never smoked in my life, or drank or done any drugs. The only thing that I have on my rider and that gets me hyper is candy. I love candy. I love sweets.
“The only thing that I have on my rider and that gets me hyper is candy. I love candy. I love sweets.”
“But in my dressing room, I have an area for my push-ups and my pull-ups to get my body right and to get my heart beating so I don’t get tired when I come off stage.
“I have a lot of fun things in there as well like television and juicer to make my shakes.
“I’ll hit the hot tub if it’s available after a show.
“If not, whatever tub is available and if there is no tub available, then I just take a shower and go to sleep.”
