mark whalberg is not 5'8 and its not a good picture because it doesn't show what kind of shoes they are wearing.
ian says on 3/Mar/10
whoa, in that pic Kid Cudi looks shorter than 5'8 Mark Wahlberg. Lugano says on 11/Jan/10
IMO he looks 5'9-9.5' max with Mark Wahlberg

Sorry Bryan that's wrong. I'm the same height as my dad, we are both 6'2 Bryan says on 4/Jan/10
If you want to height calculate. for boys its (Father Height+Mother Height divide by 2+6 inches.) For girls its just add both heights together,divide by 2 and thats all. It works to, My Dad is 6'9 and my mom is 6'3 and i'm 6'11 1/2. Bradi says on 28/Dec/09
Rob has him right.
He's 5'10''. He was not that much taller than 5'7'' Eminem DMEYER says on 6/Dec/09
when the head reaches 6 ft in a pic it means 5 ft 11 JJ says on 11/Nov/09
Looks 5'11 to me, unless he was wearing lifts in that mugshot. Alex K says on 26/Oct/09
I met him in Oslo, Norway and we took a picture. i looked at it and we are exactly the same height. he is 5'11 Dan says on 14/Oct/09
Akon is not over 5'10.
6'1 is ridiculous. James S says on 11/Oct/09
Based on what I see of him in photos and in person, I'd say Akon is close to 5'11. I think he is definitely taller than 5'10, but not by that much. I think he should be upgraded to at least 5'10.5-5'10.75. Laura says on 26/Sep/09
Hey, oh my dayz, met him, my byfriend is like 6 fot, although he says hes 5.11 and a half, and he was shy of an inch taller of Akon. So we say Akon is close to 5'11, 179-180cm methinks. josh says on 6/Sep/09
leo you know you are lying. MD says on 5/Sep/09
Ibeiy,
Chris Brown is listed at 6'0", flat, here, and even that's being disputed. Time to revise your estimates then, huh? lol Leo says on 3/Sep/09
I saw him once at the concert at Universal Studios, I'm 5'6 and he was walking by the barricade where the front audience is at and he looks shorter than me. I'm dead serious, and he was wearing white low top Air Force Ones Ibeiy! says on 16/Aug/09
akon = 5 feet 11 (1.80 min) becuase on google if he stand next to chris brown he is only may b 2 cm smaller and chris is 6 feet 2 (1.83) Emanuel says on 11/Aug/09
He's 5'11''. In this mug shot, the top of his head brushes the 6'0'' mark, and of course he's in shoes.

I usually don't agree when people say to increase a celeb's listing. But in this case I'll say I would be for giving this guy an extra fraction up to 5'10.25" - 5'10.5". I saw him look about 5'11" next to a pic of a 5'9" kid I know. But if he's shorter than 50 cent (who is really only 5'11") he's just a bit more than 5'10" in my book. Ed says on 9/Jun/09
@ dcboy
"you dont wear shoes in mugshots buddy. i know cause ive been to jail before. its not fun =/"
Not necessarily. Some mugshots are in shoes because some police consider it "more accurate", since a criminal isn't going to be walking around in public barefoot. kels says on 22/Mar/09
I grew up with Akon and we use to play basketball in NB# 6 school in Jersey city. I use to ask him all the time how tall are you when we played basketball in Pershing field park. Akon is 6'1. Zula says on 16/Feb/09
Akon looks 5-11 at least with NFL player Vernon Davis who is 6-3. Click Here J.J. says on 2/Feb/09
I find 5'10" hard to believe he used to be listed @ 5'11" on this site so why this sudden change seeing him on his own 5'10"-5'11" is believeable but when he stood next to Tyler perry who is suppose to be 6'5" he looked about 5'11.75" to 6'0". What was funny was that Tyler Perry was in Nike Airforces & he was wearing shoes that gave about 1.25cm. That tells you that he is taller than 5'10" RAZ says on 31/Jan/09
50 6'1 lol what a joke he is 5'11 in heels 5'10 id believe that maybe but 6'1 no way Dee says on 18/Jan/09
if you look at the "i still will" music video akon is a tad bit shorter then 50 cent. 50 cent has been listed 6"-6"1. si akon is about 5'11 MacGyver says on 15/Jan/09
To the guy who mentioned comparing Akon with Snoop Dog. Snoop is a terrible celeb to compare against because he frequently wears 3-4 inch lifts. Did you ever see him when he was on TRL with Ashton Kutcher? He had 3 inches easy on Kutcher who is 6'2.5 Brent says on 8/Jan/09
he is 5'10 tops wtf? says on 31/Dec/08
look at this video it is akons new song with lyrics written on the screen while theres a slideshow of pictures of akon and different people, but look at 1:52-1:58 where you see two pictures, one of akon & rihanna and one of akon & chris brown, these are the same pics you see from 3:42-3:50 although no footwear is shown he looks very similar in height to them dont you think? Click Here J.J says on 7/Dec/08
he is a very strong 5'11" please change this immediately Haze says on 8/Nov/08
a weak 5'10 Big_C says on 4/Nov/08
5ft9.25in. dc boy says on 7/Oct/08
D. Ray Morton says on 9/Aug/08
What kind of shoes was he wearing in that mugshot?
Always looked between 5'9" and 5'10" to me. Pretty short for a Wolof dude.
you dont wear shoes in mugshots buddy. i know cause ive been to jail before. its not fun =/ Anna says on 17/Aug/08
I dont think he's 5'10.He looks kind of short to me.Maybe like 5'9. BCC says on 11/Aug/08
Akon is more like 5ft9.25in(176cm)to me D. Ray Morton says on 9/Aug/08

Hey, i saw Akon on 193rd. i say he looked about 5'6" MD says on 8/Aug/08
He's standing a bit closer to the camera in the shot. It's pretty clear if he'd have been against the wall, that we'd see a more accurate height. Anyway, 5'10" looks about right.
Click Here Big T says on 8/Aug/08
In his mugshot taken this year against a height chart, Akon is exactly 6' in shoes (it's at the smoking gun, but I can't be bothered linking atm cos my net is so slow)
It's quite possible, then, that he may be a little taller than 5'10" steve says on 31/Jul/08
akon is for sure not 5'11 he look so small with snoop dog i say 5'9.5 Mars says on 13/Jul/08
He is 5' 10" for sure. How do I know this? I met him and he is exactly as tall as me. BCC says on 7/Jul/08
WTF he's less than 176cm 5-9.5"in violet says on 7/May/08
his background is senegalese
as mel gibsons background is australian
the only reason they are not refered to as american's is simply because of there backgrounds Ishan says on 25/Mar/08

Akon is not short at all, I think that he is 6'0 or 6'1. chris175 says on 18/Feb/08
5-10 or possibly 5-10.5 minimum for this guy, he has a great posture and physique, bromikey i agree that he could be 5-11 bromikey says on 17/Feb/08

I'd say 5'10" - 5'10.5"... there's a lot of photos of JoJo circulating, but she's only about 5'4" so he can't be all that tall... Game says on 7/Dec/07

He looks very similar in height to 50 Cent in their new video lauren says on 6/Nov/07
hey i met akon and went to luch with him (not a date just because i won this contest and got tickets) and i asked him how tall he is and he said 5'11 i didnt believe him because he didnt seem that much taller than me and am only 5'5 but yea he let us measure him and he is a solid 5' 11 GLover says on 29/Oct/07
No! Akon looks exactly like a 5 ft 10 tall man. The photo with Tyler Perry shows, that Akon is about 7 inches shorter than Perry. Anonymous says on 28/Oct/07
he maybe around 5'11 to 6' even me a 5'10 look much shorter than him K.C. says on 21/Jun/07
im not sure i think hes hes taller than 5'10 i met him in concert , im only 5'9 he seemed like 6'0 standing next to me. Sierra says on 4/May/07

I've seen Akon in his timberlands and he looks about 3 inch shorter than me when I'm wearing Nike 95's and I'm 6'2 so in the same shoes he's a solid 5'10 maybe close to 5'11. Definitely not as short as I thought he was david says on 27/Jan/07
I don't think that akon is 5ft10 cuz in the video clip with eminem akon looks smaller i think he's 5 ft 6 or 5 ft 7 cuz eminem is 5 ft 8 Derek says on 14/Jan/07
Akon is taller than Chamillionaire so he has to be at least 5'11". Scarlet says on 13/Jan/07
I thought he was the same as Eric Roberts in Smack That albi says on 13/Jan/07
Just saw "Smack That" with Eric Roberts. There is a part where they both enter the club with a girl between them and the camera fully in front of them with no possibility of distortion. He was 2-3 cm shorter than Roberts. Anonymous says on 18/Dec/06
Wow! 5-10.....he looked over 6 ft for me. And it was also difficult to imagine he was 5-10 when I saw it here, but not after seeing "I want to fuck you" with snoop dogg.
He has a very tiny head, so we all thougth he had a normal head an a big body instead of a tiny head and a normal body. It's all about proportions...XD xaoxio says on 1/Dec/06
yeah, I was going to write the same: 5'10" and not an inch taller. MD says on 19/Nov/06
He may very well be half-an-inch or an inch below 5'10". That is why he can look 5'11" in big boots. I'm guessing 5'9"-5'9.5" for him. John Doe says on 11/Aug/06
Akon is a stick. (im not saying he is but) He easily LOOKS 6-foot-3. There's no way of knowing unless he said it, or somebody seen him in real life and made an estimate. Ball-A-Hallic says on 28/Apr/06
Always seemed 5'10 to 5'11 to me Darren R. says on 23/Jan/06
Some of these comments are unbelievable! I reckon Akon is a good 5'11", he certainly looked it on the awards show I saw him on late last year (T4 I think). Marianna says on 13/Dec/05
i aslso say akon at his party and he sort of looked like 5'9" Blewz says on 28/Oct/05
Akon is 6 foot because I'm 5'11" and he is a few inches taller than me. We have been best friends for 11 years, I'm on the Longest yard soundtrack with him. MD says on 14/Oct/05
As many have pointed out, his favorite footwear seems to be boots (Timberland's, to be exact). I would suspect 5'9" barefoot. ez says on 10/May/05
yeh i suppose thats about right J, its just i saw him in this gig, he came down to us and i could pretty much see his hair pattern on the top of his head. So i think about 5'8- 5'9 without the timberlands, however he definately wasnt short, like i expected... J. says on 5/May/05
When I saw Akon at that party that I mentioned below, he was standing by the bar. He had on Timberland boots and did look close to 5'11" but he was skinnier than I imagined so he could be shorter. ez says on 4/May/05
hmmm im not sure about that J, im 174cm 5.8 and he was pretty much my height J. says on 3/Apr/05
I saw Akon earlier this year at a party. I'd say 5'11" maybe. I actually was expecting him to be slighty shorter. |
