Stupid Celebs. They’re everywhere. But smart ones exist too!

These famous people look like they’re pretty stupid and even sound stupid from time to time. But if you check their backgrounds, you’ll see that they’re actually pretty learned and shrewd. Don’t judge a book by its cover!

Flavor Flav – People forget that Flav was part of a politically aware and active rap group called Public Enemy. But he also attended Adelphi University and got a solid education. His buffoonery is an act!

Lil Wayne – Yes, he’s a “goblin” and a clown. But he always had great grades in school and even took some time to go to University of Houston for a bit. Weezy’s smarter than your average bear.

Akon – He’s tossed people across the stage a few times, but his business sense (signing Lady Gaga for example) and other business ventures show that he’s one of the smartest men in the biz.

Lex Steele – Don’t know who Lex Steele is? Your boyfriend does. Lex is an adult film star but before then he went to Morehouse and even worked and made tons of money on Wall Street. We guess he just likes doing the nasty on camera.
