The Senegalese-American musician Akon has declared that he has never smoked or drunk alcohol.
In April, the 50-year-old performer will embark on his maiden European tour. He acknowledged that his preparation is mostly focused on fitness and health, and that the only thing that really excites him is sweets.
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.”
