Singer will be one of the main attractions at Rock in Rio and plans to enjoy a mini-vacation in Brazil
The singer Akonreturns to Brazil for another performance at Rock in Rionext Sunday, September 22, after four years away from the Brazilian stages. The singer, known for hits such as Smack That and Lonelydoes not hide his affection for the country, which has always welcomed him with open arms since the beginning of his international career in 2005.
In an interview with Extra held via video call, Akon shared his excitement about returning to Brazil. In addition to his performance, the artist also plans to enjoy the visit in a more personal way.
Brazil is one of my favorite countries in the world to perform in. My family and I are also looking forward to spending a few days there. We have set aside about five extra days and will have a mini-vacation.
In addition to its presentation at the Rock in Rioscheduled for the day September 22ndat 9:20 pm, on the World Stage, Akon will also perform in São Paulo node On Music Festivalwhich happens in the Canindé Stadiumon the day October 26th. The festival, which promises 12 hours of music, will also feature names such as Bruno Martini, Kevinho, Sandeville and other artists. The event will start at 10pm and will continue until 10am the following day.
In the interview with Extra newspaperAkon does not specify exactly who he is coming with. The Senegalese, who apparently follows the Muslim region, where polygamy is allowed, became known for having several wives. He does not reveal the exact number. But last year, the singer Amirrorone of the wives, told the American press that there would be four of them in total.
The number of wives I have has become a mystery because I never tell people how many there are. I just let people guess (laughs).
But when it comes to Brazil, it’s impossible not to remember another memorable moment in the singer’s personal life. During his visit to the country in 2010, he had a romance with the model Nicole Bahlsthen a member of the program Panic on TV.
Nicole is my ex-girlfriend, of course I remember her. Are you crazy? (laughs). I was surprised when people in Brazil found out about our relationship. But that’s it, I try to keep everything discreet. I know Nicole is happy now and I like to respect that.

The relationship, which began after an Akon concert in Rio de Janeiro, even included plans for international travel, but ended up being affected by the distance and the language barrier, as Nicole has already confessed: “I survived with Google Translate“.
