Bu, is CEO of Konvict records and a V.P. at Def Jam records has been mistaken for Akon several times. The West African biological brothers look more like twins. Bu has been stopped several times by people who thought he was the "Konvict". As a matter of fact Akon and Bu were to have a reality show in which Bu went around pretending to be Akon and received the celebrity treatment. According to Akon Bu got too famous and people started mistaking Akon for Bu. In this clip the two come on to promote their new artist and they talk about being mistaken for each other.
