As we previously reported, Many know singer, Akon, but his music executive brother, Abou “Bu” Thiam (40), is kinda like a big deal too. He was the youngest person to become Vice President of A&R for Def Jam Records at age 28 and worked with artists like Chris Brown, Rihanna, Jay-Z, T-Pain and more. Between 2011 and 2013, Bu was in a serious relationship with Tracee Ellis Ross. In a prior interview with The Breakfast Club (see video below), Bu explained why he had to end things with the love of his life.
Bu Thiam Explains Why He & Tracee Broke Up
When asked if he was in love with his ex-girlfriend, Tracee, Abou “Bu” Thiam said he was, and apparently still is, in love with her and that any future girlfriend will have to respect that:
“Yeah I was in love for sho.’… Me and Tracee gon’ be lovers forever man. You know what I’m saying? Like, I really do believe that. Me and her have this genuine, unconditional relationship. … And anybody that comes in my life, like, they have to know that and vice versa with her.”
Bu on why they aren’t together:
“I believe that being with somebody…it’s like managing…it’s a real job. It’s a real responsibility. … And she’s in a place in her career that if I can’t give her all of me, I don’t wanna waste- not…waste her time- but I don’t wanna put her in that space. … So why not give her opportunity to find somebody else that can.”
