Akon recently explained how he ended up gifting French Montana a fake watch.

Akon confirmed that he bought French Montana a fake Hublot watch while appearing on Real 92.3s The Cruz Show, earlier this week. The iconic singer explained that he didnt do so intentionally. He was happy, I was happy. We lit, we lit, Akon said on the show. Now mind you Im not really knowing theres specific brands watches and all that, I wasnt really a watch guy. I just saw something I liked that looked nice and I got it. French clearly went to his jeweler and got it checked out, and the jeweler was like, Yo, this is fake.' (Photo by Tim P.

Not only was I upset because I paid, like, five grand for each watch, Akon went on. In my mind that was expensive for a watch. But obviously for a Hublot that was no money, that was a huge discount. So Im like, This ungrateful ass n***a.' Montana had joked about Akons fake Hublot during an appearance on Drink Champs back in 2021. Elsewhere in his interview on The Cruz Show, Akon discussed using his brother as a body double, sharing new music dropping on TikTok, and more. Check out Akons appearance on The Cruz Show below.
