Akon’s Brother Explains Why He Broke Up With Diana’s Daughter Tracee Ellis Ross
Many know singer, Akon, but his music executive brother, Abou “Bu” Thiam (39), 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 Diana Ross’ daughter/actress, Tracee Ellis Ross (46) and they were oftentimes seen out together, showing all kinds of affection.
We all thought they were gonna last, especially since he was the only boyfriend Tracee has ever gone public with, which made us know it was real. Unfortunately, they didn’t last and in a prior interview with The Breakfast Club, Bu explained why he had to end things with the love of his life.
