Akon has confirmed that he got a hair transplant, and it cost him $7,500.
In an interview with Bootleg Kev, the singer admitted he went to Turkey for a procedure to restore his hairline.
In the beginning, my whole front was loose, it was real thin. The 49 year old singer told Kev, who asked if it was a painful procedure.
Of which he responded; “No,The painful part is the beginning when they gotta numb you up. That numbing ain’t no joke. They stick a needle like this big, non-stop.”
Akon confirmed that they took a graft, and overall he appears happy with what the doctors did despite the pain.
“It looks amazing,” he added, to which Kev joked that Tory Lanez should’ve gone to the same doctor.
He went on to suggest Turkey is known “for two things,” one of which is hair and the other is teeth. “They’re really good on both,” he said, later divulging that he can’t grow hair on his face.
Akon also took to social media to respond to the memes that have been circulating about his hairline and took all of the jokes in good stride.
