Akon has begun legal proceedings to be recognized as father of his two sons. Akon recently filed court documents last month requesting that he becomes the legal dad of the two children he fathered following a romance with Ugandan Susan Owori while on tour in Africa. Suzan Owori is the sister to fashion designer Sylvia Owori- founder of African Woman Magazine and Zipa Models.
“Akon has been a father to the boys since they were born and this is just a neccesary step to make sure he is legally recognised as such,” said an insider close to the star.
The 39-year-old has also filed for joint custody of the two children born in 2008 and 2009 so that he can have a role in their life and provide child support.
Requesting that the boys keep his surname, Thiam, he also requested that his two sons be eligible to inherit from him and be protected from the media. However Suzan Awori insists Akon should first fulfill a wedding criterion before she can fully recognize him as the father.
“I don’t want my children to consider a stranger as a father, Akon should organize an introduction ceremony to my parents,” said Suzan. It is believed Suzan Owori wants to have the ring on her finger at all costs and that’s why he has given Akon these childless nightmares.
