Symba loves him some Akon but he’s roasted the Senegalese-American singer for his choice of outfit while appearing on Drink Champs earlier this month.
The “Locked Up” hitmaker generated plenty of headlines with his appearance on N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s podcast and viewers like Symba aren’t letting him off the hook for rocking what is alleged to be fake Dior.

On Thursday (July 27), Symba put Akon on blast while having a laugh at the supposed fugazi designer pieces in a video shared to his Instagram Story . “That bitch say ‘Di Rio.’ I thought that was a Dior,” the Oakland native said. “That n-gga say Di Rio. That n-gga Akon out of pocket. I fuck with my n-gga Akon, but this n-gga’s out of pocket. Di Rio.”
Another person in the room couldn’t belive it, asking: “Why they do unc like this?”

Plenty of fans chimed in clowning Akon for wearing the alleged counterfeit garments to an interview that has attracted millions of viewers.
“Akon talkin about buyin fake watches while wearing fake dior is crazyyyy,” one person wrote, while another added: “Idgaf what akon tlkin bout why he got this big ass fake dior hoodie on to match his hairline?”
As if the Dior fiasco wasn’t bad enough, N.O.R.E. made sure to remind Akon of the time he bought French Montana and himself fake Hublot watches from Canal St. — a notorious knockoff market — in New York City.
“Listen, me and French got got that day,” Akon admitted. “I’m the one that lost money. I bought two new watches — one for me and one for [French].
“Here’s the thing: I didn’t know what a Hublot was. I just knew that I liked that. It was a nice watch. So, the dude was selling watches. And I said, ‘Yo, how much is that watch?’ He said, ‘Normally about $15,000 to $20,000. But I got a guy that can get it for us for $5,000.”

Akon eventually righted his wrong earlier this month following the Drink Champs appearance when he pulled up on French Montana and gifted him a brand new authentic designer watch.
N.O.R.E., for one, was happy to see that bringing up the watch blunder pushed Akon to make amends for his blunder. “I can’t stop laughing and smiling @akon did the right thing @frenchmontana love y’all both salute,” he wrote in a comment under French’s post.
