In the Bootleg Kev show, Akon said that the surgeons took “grafts” from the back of his head. This does indicate that he had an FUE hair transplant, in which units of hair with 1-4 hair each (called grafts) are taken out from the scalp. This is done using a small punch tool.

Quotes by Akon

"I always want to set myself a challenge by doing something no-one would expect me to do! But, having said that, I don't feel as a musician you can steer too far away from what you normally do."

"That's my actual payment, the fact that I can actually make something that I actually enjoy and put on repeat, and it's not related to anything else or anyone else's thoughts and ideas, it all came from me; I just love that aspect of it."

"My ideas come when I least expect it, so I've always got to have a studio nearby or close by somewhere."

"Any album that you pick up of mine, you know it's an Akon album. The guests are very limited, and you get to really feel the experience. You get the Akon experience when you get the albums. I always want to make sure that stays the way it is. I don't want to flood the album to where you lose focus on why you bought it."

"I always feel like 'as long as I'm doin' what I love to do, the money's naturally gonna come.' When you start thinkin' business and you start thinkin' 'What's hot? What's the wave? Who is hot? Let's get at that person,' it becomes a point where you're tryin' to strategize to make money. And that's always a gamble."
