Senegalese-American singer, Akon, at 50, reveals he has never consumed alcohol or smoked, emphasizing a candy-only diet. As he prepares for his first European tour in April, he underscores the importance of health and fitness. In an interview with The Sun's Bizarre column, the legendary artist shares his unconventional rider, stating, "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."
He details his dressing room essentials, which include an area for push-ups and pull-ups to stay fit for performances. Akon's backstage setup features a juicer for shakes, a television for entertainment, and, if available, a hot tub for relaxation after shows. His holistic approach includes maintaining physical well-being alongside enjoying sweets.
