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
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. Terry 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.

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 MD says on 28/Mar/08
Sall,
He was actually born in St. Louis, Missouri, USA to immigrant Senegalese parents, but they returned to Senegal soon after he was born. He came of age in Senegal, so I think you can make an argument either way. This is much in the same way Mel Gibson is called both an Australian actor, despite being born in America, and at times is simply called an American. Sall says on 28/Mar/08
It says Senegalese singer but i thought he's an American who originates from Senegal? Isn't that different. I'm sure alot of Americans originate from somewhere. Ishan says on 25/Mar/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

umm were talking about akon, not eminem and there is no way in hell eminem is 5'9" cause im 5'11" an im like a ****ing foot taller than him Anonymous says on 21/Dec/07
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

looks about 6 ft w/ shoes i'm assuming Big T says on 26/Nov/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
Am really and love with you Akon's you can call me some time when you have time for me my number 233-1290 call me G-unit says on 1/Apr/07
He's not 5'10. He's 5'11-5'11½ CoolJ says on 28/Mar/07
Saw him on Idol.. 5'10 looks about right. gg says on 14/Mar/07
he's taller than roberts, and his head is not tiny! Derek says on 13/Mar/07
Rob, why did you downgrade him? Akon is taller than Chamillionaire and Glenn has a picture with Chamillionaire that shows he's around 5'10". I think 5'11" is Akon's correct height. Viper says on 12/Mar/07
MD, it seems to me that Tyler Perry only has a couple of inches on 6-1 Barry Bonds in pictures. Im really doubting that Perry is a legit 6-5. MD says on 11/Mar/07
With 6'5" Tyler Perry. I chose these photos, because it's the only one where you can see footwear to judge:

I Think Eminem s hight is 5,9 hes not that tall hes not cause Im only 13 years old and im already 5,7 tall both my parents is about 6,5 i saw him already in the concert hes perfect for me hes not tall and not short Dave says on 1/Mar/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. |
