According to reports, Akon owes a company called Durable Steel Structures $36,765 for work done to a Georgia home.

The contractor tells TMZ he’s done a lot of work to design a glass floor that will make it seem like you’re walking above a coral reef. He says the plan is to have LED lights projecting the reef images below the glass. Only problem — the contractor claims once it came time to install the floor, Akon’s mom couldn’t make a decision about the lighting … so now he’s left holding the bag. (TMZ)

Check out how many Instagram followers Akon recently lost right here…

Recent reports claimed Akon lost three million Instagram followers after the social media platform performed some anti-spam maintenance.

Poor Akon! The “Don’t Matter” singer lost the most Instagram followers with a total of 3 million due to the purge of spam accounts. Other celebrities like Rihanna (1.2 million), Kim Kardashian (1.3 million) and Mase (1.6 million) lost huge as well. But the rapper-turned-pastor lost so many he deleted his account. But other celebs still lost a huge enough amount of followers — like Draya Michele who is 300,000 down after the social cleanse. (EurWeb)

According to reports, rap veteran Ma$e pulled the plug on IG after being taunted for allegedly having fake followers.

Instagram felt like being petty and purged damn near everyone’s followers (something it warned us about), including celebrities. Not even the Good Lord could save his former servant from The Humbling. Screenshots say Betha went from 1.6 million IG followers to 272K in one fell swoop. And now he deleted his account because y’all had to get these jokes off. (Complex)

Additional celebrities like reality television star Kim Kardashian and R&B singer Rihanna also lost ample followers.

On Thursday, we noticed about 1.3 million of Kim Kardashian’s vanished. Rihanna’s decreased by about 1.2 million. Katy Perry’s went down 300,000. Even Oprah lost 100,000. (New York Post)
