<p><strong>Akon</strong> recently popped out with a new look that has the inannet talking! After fans pointed out that the rapper and entrepreneur&#8217;s hairline was looking Steve Harvey sharp, he admitted to recently undergoing a hair transplant overseas.</p>
<p>While sitting down with Bootleg Kev, Akon detailed his experience with paying $7,500 for a hair transplant in <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/suicide-bombing-in-turkey-injures-36-people-and-kills-five/">Turkey.</a></p>
<blockquote><p>I went to Turkey and got a procedure. &#8216;Cause don&#8217;t forget in the beginning, my whole front was loose. It was real thin.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>He went on to explain that the procedure was not painful, and even joked about advising Tory Lanez to go to the same doctor.</p>
<blockquote><p>The painful part is the beginning when they gotta numb you up. That numbing ain&#8217;t no joke. They stick a needle like this big and just [poke] you non-stop&#8230;I told the n*gga, I said &#8216;Tory you shoulda came to my man.'&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>According to Akon, a standard hair transplant procedure in the US could run you nearly $50,000, which is why he opted to get it done in the Western Asian country,</p>
<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s so affordable it&#8217;s ridiculous. For what I did, it would&#8217;ve cost me 50 grand in America. I paid what, $7,500. Here they over charging, anything related to healthcare or any kind of medical procedure, America is, I mean they tag on ten times. Man, I work hard for this money, I don&#8217;t care.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
