Akon Says Contractor Who Claims He Wouldn’t Pay $50,000 Slandered Him…

Remember that lawsuit filed against Akon by that Georgia contractor who claimed he wouldn’t pay his $51,000 balance for work done on his Atlanta mansion?

Well Kon says eff all that! He ain’t paying and has no plans to pay that bill!

Just as I said in my original post, it’s not like Akon doesn’t have the dough… he’s apparently not pleased with the work that was done and refuses to pay for the shoddy home improvements.

Details below…

According to TMZ, Kon insists that the man who filed the suit not only butchered his home, but he actually tried to EXTORT Akon to get the cash.

Akon just filed a countersuit against a guy named Jay Poorak — who runs a company called Southern Electric — insisting Poorak performed construction work on Akon’s house without ever hashing out an agreement about the services or price.

According to the lawsuit, Poorak attempted all kinds of construction on Akon’s home — including electrical work, framing, and cornice work — without any permission … and the work was a disaster.

But that’s not it — Akon claims Poorak completely ripped him off … charging him over $150,000 for the job … when it was only worth $33,660.

Akon claims he already paid Poorak $44,650 — despite the hack job — and now wants at least $10,990 back … the amount Akon believes he overpaid.

Akon claims Poorak threatened him over the balance in question with legal action and “the besmirching of [his] reputation” if Akon didn’t pay up.

Akon’s also suing for unspecified damages — claiming Poorak slandered him.

Well it’s on an poppin now huh? Seems like this Poorak dude didn’t know who he was strong arming.? I can’t wait to see how this turns out.

Who would you put your money on? Akon or the Contractor?
