“I only eat candy, I’ve never smoked, or drunk alcohol in my life” – Akon says
Senegalese-American singer Akon has revealed that he has never consumed alcohol or smoked in his life, sharing that his diet primarily consists of candy.
The 50-year-old musician is set to embark on his inaugural European tour in April. He acknowledged that the majority of his preparation revolves around maintaining health and fitness, emphasizing that the only indulgence he allows himself is candy, even when on the road.
In an interview with The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column, the legendary artist said:
“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.”
