R&B singer, concert troublemaker, and 'Dangerous' YouTube star, Akon, is set to join the illustrious ranks of Diddy, Nelly, and Jay-Z when he launches his own fragrance line 'Konvict'.

First question: who would want to smell like Akon?
Second question: who would possibly be interested in being affiliated with Konvict Cosmetics?

Something smells about this one. Maybe more than one thing.


Rapper-singer Akon announced the launch of two fragrances come fall. The first--and "younger"--scent is called Konvict, after his 2006 album Konvicted. The second fragrance is dubbed Aliaune, which is Akon's real first name. And in true hustler's spirit, both scents will be released through Akon's new company, Konvict Cosmetics Intl.

What is civilization coming to when a cosmetics company has the word Konvict in it?!?!?  Please let this be a joke.
