This is interesting. According to http://www.sohh.com, Universal Music bosses in the US have told R&B star Akon to refrain from discussing having more than one wife. The star, a devout Muslim apparently, reportedly has three wives at the moment (though there have been some reports that say more) and cites the Koran as support for his polygamous lifestyle. Which his label didn't have an opinion on really until Akon started discussing it all in an interview on New York's Hot 97. Now they've reportedly told him to avoid discussing all things polygamy which, sohh.com says, has led to Akon questioning just how "free" his "free country" really is. Not quite that free, clearly.
