YES as long as it smells as good as it looks; very creative. I Likey

If it smells good…i will support. Akon keep gettin that money homie, aint nothing wrong with that!

I hate Akon. I hate his music, I hate (most of) his artists, I hate the name ‘Konvict’, I hate his stupid face and dumb grin…. BUT:

HE IS GETTING MONEY. Can’t trip on THAT. LOL

smart businessman signing gaga, hate his music but that cologne looks like it smells. ha ha

He’s lucky he’s up against a white background.

I never will understand a race that promotes death and damnation. I don’t get oh yeah I do it’s call the love of Money!!!!

A black man (or african) selling a fragrance that sounds like the word ‘convict’ and packaging it with handcuffs? This has got to be one of the most ignorant, stereotypical products I think I’ve ever seen.
One thing we know for sure, this guy is certainly not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

of course i can’t see it but it sounds uhhh different…handcuffs??? definitely nice accessory to have…

I hate his music but i help him!

how ignorant can one man be… ‘konvict’ cologne???

DANG ITS ALOT OF HATE GOING THROUGH THE AIR TODAY. GIVE THIS MAN HIS PROPS. OK SO ALOT OF PEOPLE DONT LIKE HIS MUSIC AND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO. PEOPLE CAN SAY WHAT THEY WANNA BUT HE’S MAKING HIS PAPER. THE MEN MADE SOMETHING OF HIMSELF. I BET IF HE WAS DONE AND OUT EVERYBODY WOULD BE HAPPY. SMH. Y BLK PEOPLE CANT STICK TOGETHER.

I have nothing nice to say about this bottle.Am I supposed to be a convict to the smell of the cologne.I just don’t understand it!

Since I don’t deal with thugs, nor never had problems with the law myself? when I see cuffs,all I can think of are kinky bedroom activities lol.

LOL I wonder if it smells like D.I.K. N DA A.S.S……

@Choca…no hate here, just love for the community that I serve everyday. If a wealthy White man came out with this product and marketed it to young black men who are going to prison in alarming numbers, you would be okay, right? I mean, the White man would be rich and that’s all that matters, right? To heck with the lives of the children in our community, right?

Wait till you all see Truo’fles!

The Take Over!

@ chocalatetunda01

I actually agree with you. He’s successful – it doesn’t have to make ME happy how, because I don’t buy his sheet. No need for me to DEMAND that nobody else like him… LOL

Don’t like Akon. Can’t stand GaGa. I wish they would both go away. I like the design of the bottle. That is all.

I just think it’s a silly and contrived product. I don’t think I’d want my man to smell like he’d been in jail all day, which is the image the prodcut’s name conjures up to me.

What’s next, Dr. Dre coming up with a cologne called “Enema”?

Whatever floats your boat, I guess, but I prefer my men smelling like freedom.

Handcuffs …. only a ingnorant black person. How dumb and those handcuffs are soooo corney. I used handcuffs for sex, way back when BORING!!!

@tessiemae

I’ll put you in handcuffs!!! MONKEEEEY!!

SAD

LOL….at the handcuffs as the bottle….interesting…

yep sign me up!

It could mean Konvict of love you guys. Come on think out side the box it doesnt have to mean prison. For those who havent heard his song may think diferently. Because some people do use handcuffs during happy hour…. or two : )

@lil country

Thank you for wearing that

I don’t need this cologne. I got my own cuffs!! BOSS!

This darkskin African man is makin PAPER!! do not!!! Even if he’s part of the Illuminati…SMH

Reminds me of the old Living Color skit “Oppression”.

@Krakatoa

LMAO! I remember that skit! It was a play on Calvin Klein’s Obsession ads. It was hilarious (yet thought-provoking), and now that you mention it, I do see a similarity in the themes.

what fool would make and buy this…black America can be so sad sometimes. Don’t we see the messages we’re sending to our youth with this crap?

Dumb move…anything for money I suppose.

Black men are already viewed as society’s criminals so here we have a black African man endorsing this product.

Sometimes I really wonder what goes through people’s heads at times…including those who sit there and support things like this.

Bwahahahah!

So many of our youth are misguided,in jails and prisons nation-wide, and this clown wants to profit from this lunacy!?! The next time that you see a black man being beat by the police and arrested, picture this loser smiling with a drink in his hand and holding a handful of blood money. Keep your kids away from this garbage if you want them to get a job and survive in America. We can not support the foolish trying to brainwash our kids into believing there is anything cool about going to jail at all. Just a theory.

Sorry, but I’ve always thought that Akon looked like that type of man who would drench himself in cheap azz cologne to cover up his own stench…

THANKS BUT NO THANKS

Who would read a book endorsed by someone calling themselves Guccimanebabymomma ?….First learn how to spell man(not mane)…and why would you want to have a child by an incarcerated man ? I guess he’s wearin that Konvict…contains 100% chickenhead phermones..

I love me some Akon I cant waite till this hits the stores.

he probably did not have to pay for the promotion of this sh…. the white man step right up.

Question: Why is it halloween everyday of lady GaGa life.

I believe in self expression but don’t OD on attention.

Masie_UK

wtf! just stfu pu$$y cuz i am big boy!! f’ckin b’tch white boy!!!

I’m not a fan of Akon, but I do appreciate him bringing Lady Gaga into the game

Why can’t these rich rappers promote something positive to the community?? Being a thug, gangster, and or convict is not a glamorous life. How bout doin’ somethin for the hood, for the kids that uplifts them? This example just keeps the kids down.

AND BTW, Akon does not consider himself as an African American, he’s African, and many Africans look at us the same way as white folks do…a bunch a lazy, ignorant, uneducated people. Trust, he doesn’t give a damn about what goes on Black culture, because he is not a part of it. So what he’s doing is the EXACT same thing as any other white person who markets and sells stuff to us….mocking us, while making a profit off of us. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

FOCUS, CREATIVITY, AND DETERMINATION THATS HOW TO KEEP IT RELEVANT–WE ALL CAN LEARN FROM THIS RAGS TO RICHES BRUTHA. BTW, THE HANDCUFFS ARE ORIGINAL AND COOL.

Hmmm it probably smells like underarm. I’m sorry but he looks too funky for a fragrance line.

when i saw this a few days ago, i was like, are you serious? why would anyone name or buy a fragrance called konvict? some of the dumbest stuff ever.

self expression and just plain attention grabbing is two different things. She is Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out there.

African men look at America the same way everybody else does. Marry an american get a green card then cheat. Ahh yes, and they only look at people (black) in that way when you don’t convert to their beliefs. It’s called cultural differences. Peace.

1st lmao @the bottle with the handcuffs on it 2nd.. lmao @ Joy I was going to say the same thing he do look funky & sweaty.. it probably do smell like underarms.. that was funny

@ Drenk

U Stoopid, lol

THAT’S A SMART AFRICAN BROTHER SHOWING YOU UPPITY CONFUSED NEGR@S HOW TO MAKE MONEY OFF A WHITE GIRL… STAY PIMPING BROTHER AKON!!!!!!

Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site- A_ge_m_in_g l e @ c//o//m a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends.

[...] Talk About Being Prisoner To Your Name, Akon Launches Konvict … [...]

@GimmeaBreak,
Self-centered? WTH are you talking about? Nowhere did I say that only “brown skinned people in the US are Black”. My point was just because one’s skin color is Black, does not identify who they are and not all Black people share the same culture. Africans (even the ones living in the US) do not identify with African Americans; Black Hispanics don’t identify with us either; neither does Black Cubans, etc….Just because one is “Black”, does not mean we share the same values and experiences. Don’t words in my mouth that I did not say.

What does it smell like, a convicted felons musty balls?

well he is tryin unlike u haters out there dissing him why dont u guys go out there and sing or try go get a fragrance y’all think its easy hmm .

@REAL BLACK CHOCALTE

I’M A GIRL
I’M NOT WHITE

B!CTH

african americans culture aint got nothing to do with african culture african american culture is based on fried chicken and water melon and being house negros and serving and crave for the white master and bleaching,perming

African American culture is AFRICAN culture – especially WEST AFRICAN culture.

Why do phockers want to separate Black Americans from Africa? Why is a China-man considered Chinese NO MATTER where he is born on the planet but a black person isn’t??

Hi for all of you fighting to have that lady you’ve always desired, my best advice is learn how to talk dirty to women. You need to also have a positive and confident frame of mind towards gals to win them over. I even have picked up a bunch of ladies and read lots of relationship guides. So accept it from me, provided you can learn these 3 factors, you are able to pick up any kind of girl you would like.
