Rapper Akon said he used to pretend to be an African prince when he was a teenager. The hip-hop star told MTV: "When I was 17, I thought I was the flyest thing on the planet. Of course, I still had my African roots so I would wear dashikis that kinda matched my jeans." He added: "I think I was a young hustler at that time. I told everybody: 'I'm a prince!" His brother Omar added: "People just didn't know any better so they believed that we were princes from Africa."
