Certainly, this list is much better than the flat 5ft 10, though I see the arguments for a 5ft 10.5 at times. Here are some 2016 photos of Akon with Jimmy Jean Louis: Click Here Click Here Click Here
Akon looks a bit shorter than Jimmy but their footwear is different, Jimmy has the footwear advantage. In another shot, Akon even looks very similar to Jimmy's height: Click Here
And this is another photo of them from 2013: Click Here
Another situation where Akon had less shoes is his photos next to Mickey Rourke from 2012: Click Here Click Here Click Here
In some shots, Akon may look like he isn't even a half inch shorter than Rourke. In 2018, Akon met Boris Becker: Click Here Click Here
Boris didn't look even three inches taller than Akon. Finally, two photos of Akon and 50 Cent together from 2015: Click Here Click Here
I can't see the 1.5 inch difference between them. Rob, what is a chance of a 5ft 10.5 for Akon?

I think a full 5ft 10.25 is more reasonable than just 1/8 inch over 5ft 10. Here are a few more pictures of Akon alongside Hayden Christensen from 2014: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
I don't see a two inch difference here, although I do not rule out 6ft 0.25 for Hayden, Akon looked comfortable over 5ft 10 in this case. Rob, maybe an upgrade by 1/8 inch to 5ft 10.25 would be justified?

Possibly 5'10.25 but think the current listing is fine. Big ups to Akon (particularly regarding is energy providing project). "Locked Up" was a favourite, my mobile ringtone during 2005-06.

I think Akon needs a category. Please, Rob, give him categories of American rappers. I have one more question for you... Rob, do you think that 5'10.25", 5'10.5" or 5'10.75" is possible for Akon? Certainly not a full 5'11", but flat 5'10" looks a little low for him.

Thought he was much taller. 178 cm can look quite solid. Same with P. Diddy who also never really looked short to me.

Akon is a strange one. Always struck me as a 5'8 guy, maybe even 5'7. Not sure what it is but he has 'short man' proportions. A mystery. But yes, he clearly is at least 5'10, but nevertheless it boggles my mind!

I wouldn't be surprised if he was measured like 182 cm in the morning and 180 cm in the night. This guy can't be under 180 cm, that's his minimum height i think. Every picture of him proves this.

I usually don't agree when people say to increase a celeb's listing. But in this case I'll say I would be for giving this guy an extra fraction up to 5'10.25" - 5'10.5". I saw him look about 5'11" next to a pic of a 5'9" kid I know. But if he's shorter than 50 cent (who is really only 5'11") he's just a bit more than 5'10" in my book.
I usually don't agree when people say to increase a celeb's listing. But in this case I'll say I would be for giving this guy an extra fraction up to 5'10.25" - 5'10.5".

"you dont wear shoes in Mugshots buddy. i know cause ive been to jail before. its not fun =/"
Not necessarily. Some Mugshots are in shoes because some police consider it "more accurate", since a criminal isn't going to be walking around in public barefoot.

I grew up with Akon and we use to play basketball in NB# 6 school in Jersey city. I use to ask him all the time how tall are you when we played basketball in Pershing field park. Akon is 6'1.

if you look at the "i still will" music video akon is a tad bit shorter then 50 cent. 50 cent has been listed 6"-6"1. si akon is about 5'11

To the guy who mentioned comparing Akon with Snoop Dog. Snoop is a terrible celeb to compare against because he frequently wears 3-4 inch lifts. Did you ever see him when he was on TRL with Ashton Kutcher? He had 3 inches easy on Kutcher who is 6'2.5

He's standing a bit closer to the camera in the shot. It's pretty clear if he'd have been against the wall, that we'd see a more accurate height. Anyway, 5'10" looks about right.

In his mugshot taken this year against a height chart, Akon is exactly 6' in shoes (it's at the smoking gun, but I can't be bothered linking atm cos my net is so slow)
It's quite possible, then, that he may be a little taller than 5'10"

Sall,
He was actually born in St. Louis, Missouri, USA to immigrant Senegalese parents, but they returned to Senegal soon after he was born. He came of age in Senegal, so I think you can make an argument either way. This is much in the same way Mel Gibson is called both an Australian actor, despite being born in America, and at times is simply called an American.

He has a very tiny head, so we all thougth he had a normal head an a big body instead of a tiny head and a normal body. It's all about proportions...XD

He may very well be half-an-inch or an inch below 5'10". That is why he can look 5'11" in big boots. I'm guessing 5'9"-5'9.5" for him.
