Akon is celebrating his 51st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Akon (Right Now, Smack That, Lonely, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 51st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Akon, a cultural icon

Born Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Bongo Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam in St. Louis on April 16, 1973, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Akon's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Akon hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Akon as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 51.

Happy Birthday, Akon, you're the best!
