Akon Tickets

Tracee Ellis Ross has refused to comment on the status of her relationship with Akon's brother Bu Thiam, just weeks after she first dodged questions about it.

Rumours have been circulating for months that the Girlfriends actress is dating Bu, but she has never publicly confirmed or denied this. When asked about her relationship with the Convict Muzik CEO, Tracee told Essence magazine: "It's kinda funny. I don't really talk about my personal life. It's a strange and funny and weird thing."

"Sometimes you have a conversation with someone and the paparazzi snaps a picture of you and people decide you're dating. If I try to answer everything people say, I would be up all night. I would much prefer to be shopping, eating, or sleeping than trying to control what others think or say."

It was reported this summer that Tracee's mother Diana Ross was not happy about her dating Bu because he is a self-confessed polygamist.
