Akon performed at Melania Trump‘s documentary after-party in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, Jan. 29.
Page Six reports over 250 guests, including Akon and Nicki Minaj, attended the “Melania” after-party at Donald Trump Jr’s private members club, the Executive Branch.
The Senegalese singer shared a cryptic post on X (Twitter) featuring photos that show him wearing an orange prison jumpsuit. He captioned the post: “If you know, you know.”
Akon once considered running for president in 2020. He declined to endorse Donald Trump for president.
Last night in Washington, D.C., I sat with @Akon, government leaders, and long-time partners to discuss what it means to operate at the center of online distortion.

In November, the “Locked Up” singer was arrested in an Atlanta suburb on an outstanding warrant.
The pop star, whose real name is Aliaune Thiam, spent 6 hours in the DeKalb County Jail before being released.
The warrant stemmed from an incident in September when police discovered Akon was driving a Cybertruck with a suspended license.
