Akon Offends Black Americans In Recent Interview

- Akon recently conducted an interview on the Zeze Millz show. Akon alluded to African artists having more stage presence and Black American artists are just high all the time. We all know that's easy to debunk, but Akon's issue is his inferiority complex.

I have never seen an African American try to have African swag, but I’ve seen plenty of Africans, Asians, and Latinos and whites try their damndest to have African American swag.
Exactly
Facts, I went to Rwanda two years ago and they was rocking Air Force ones like it was 03 lol They was even try to sagg their pants. I had to tell one dude where sagging come from and what it really means. Lol
Preach🫡
💯💯🎯🎯
They didn’t start wearing skinny jeans, until Black Americans did. Not a fan of that look, but the FBA influence can’t be denied.
I'm an African Born who grew up here. Fack... smh Akon is out of pocket. He is speaking for himself not on our BEHALF!!!
Facts
Thanks much love
I’m glad you disagreed on what he said. The fact he was born and raised here makes him look even worse! He should know better, he’s a traitor in my eyes!
✊🏿✊🏿
@@africaisking7817 Tariq Nasheed is talking about immigrants who come to America being disrespectful to black Americans who were born on American soil and whose family have generational ties to the land mass. Akon is showing, just because he was born in America, his loyalty is to Senegal and Africa like so many immigrants, and that's cool. But, for him to talk ish about black Americans and he benefitted from the black American culture he is talking negative about is very disrespectful. The audacity.
Akon wouldn't be 💩 without Black America ❤💚🖤 🇺🇸. YOU’RE WELCOME AKON... Black Americans pioneered EVERYTHING and laid down the path for ALL TO COPY. That includes Latinos, Asians, European, Africa, etc.
PURE FACTZ! 🤜🏾🤛🏾
@@DiscussionsWithDena St. Louis, Missouri, United States that what is on his birth paper though...so he is American..he can say whatever he want to say
There is an old African American saying, “Give a person enough time, they will show you what they are all about” 😮😮
Y’all don’t have any wise sayings. 😂All I hear is fried chicken, watermelon and grape drink 😂😂

When y'all see white supremacists y'all ignore their existence don't respond please. FYI
Akon literally has a lyric where he says “ my pants sagging with my gun in my draws” Song: soul survivor
I was thinking that lol
🤣🤣🤣
From a black Britt, I must say I love black Americans ❤️
And we love you too.
lol we love ❤️ you guys too
Right back at ya luv
Much love.
Prove it
Without black Americans Akon would not have anything
Exactly 👍🏾
Exactly!!
You can take that to the bank on GOD! 💯
True facts 😉
Without his beautiful african voice you would have never dance on his music !!So give him some respect!!!
I’m African and I’m 100% disgusted by Akon comments. Akon owes his success to black Americans. Africans are able to live a successful life in America cause black Americans paved they way. Giving their sweat and blood. So Akon comments really is disgusting and shame on the interviewer for not checking him.
That goes for Asians, Latinos, and other minorities.
Thank you
facts
Bootlicker. You ain't African.
Well said
I am African American and some of my co-workers are Africans we call each other brother and sister.....we have respect for each other.....there will always be some bad apples.
I like how you handle the situation brother Phill, you didn’t generalize everybody, you kept it on him!
As it should be. But the bad apples and individuals can only be used for YT people and cop's. They training people to make themselves responsible for others crimes because they have the same skin color but not them. They make all of us responsible for Chicago and Black on Black crime, while they get the individual for mass shooter's, pediphiles,...... Everyone should be judged by thehr own actions. Nobody's doing any crimes because of their race. They're doing it because they're pos.
But he did say "the Africans that are born in America" all have the same problem! i.e. Issa Rae!
He didn't split our global African community
Yes
The commenters on the other hand
Akon whole existence is copying Black Americans nuff said.
will you allow african , carribian and afro latinoa migirants to pose as black americans , you guys so naive welcoming everyone in when no one welcome you back
He’s American
What is he? An alien? He's literally a black American too
Y’all Africans lol
I think you spelled acoon wrong.
Akon's the typical African who's been taught he's better than the same people who got him to where he is.
Africa is a continent. can you define the word African??? Be more specific when you are speaking. Blacks in the continent so called Africa don't hate our people In the diaspora, in USA, south America, carribians and more. We see you as our people. Stop spreading these negative statements.
This division that you guys are promoting is only pushing us back while the real enemies are laughing at us. Stop generalizing
he got at where it is by himself and of course by selling his soul to hellwood. He didn't need the help of you people
He's chasing a bag in Africa...pay close attention to his name it's A-Con
he try name a city after himself, he defo has ego this brother, it will eventually catch up with him
lmfao, good one
😅😅😅
🤣🤣🤣👍
Chasing a bag in Africa when they rely on China for their infrastructure, Russia for their military prowess, Europe for their law practicing, and the US as a trade marketer? That doesn't seem to make any sense. KMSL. And I don't usually laugh at Blk people because I love my people worldwide but that statement.
The interviewer went right-along with his nonsense without questioning him.
Akon: anything
Interviewer: “Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.”
That’s Zeze mills British Jamaican over in UK she said last year Blk Americans didn’t know who they was until wakanda came out and black Twitter tore her a new Hole. They love getting our attention good or bad they our little annoying sisters & brothers 🤣

@@taniamarie2486 sisters & brothers? You crazy
You are all Africans. Africans in America are 4 generations removed from Africa
I hate seeing Africans talking sideways about black Americans like we aren't all the same at the end of the day. It saddens me greatly. As a Nigerian I do my best to try and bridge the gaps between us. Because at the end of the day we're all black and what happens to one of us happens to all of us. That's how it should be. I'm B1 all day everyday.

Grow up bro. This has nothing to work that. This is just entertainment please.
@@sadinahrafael9700 Clearly he is not.

Great entertainer no doubt about it never be another one like him in my opinion. But did he love his people as much as his people loved him I say that because if he was going to adopt children and he was always talking his blackness and how they don’t give a damn about us and the stuff that’s going on in Africa why did he choose the white kids to adopt and leave his fortune to. in the end he didn’t to Black he chose them
Akon, "You don't have to bring down a Culture that built you up. That's it .." ~ Phillip Scott. That's right.
All of those projects, We are All working on Unfinished business and need to stay focused.
One, final comment I have about this Akon issue; as I've stated earlier in other comments, both Black Africans, Black Americans alike have have overall developmental+social and/or economic issues that they likely need to resolve. The seemingly advantage that Akon and the like have is: from his earliest youth+birthright he has a place that he uniquely can call home (Senegal), he has a home based language (Wolof) with the secondary official+sectional country languages of French, Bambara or Melinke/Mande (likely Akon is trilingual, speaking all English French and Wolof). Lastly, he still has a connecting culture that is uniquely West African style of life. All peoples of the Earth, regardless of their personal ethnicity, tend to unite and sacrifice their individuality (not necessarily because they are deeply in love with each other [yet, also possible too]) but as foreigners amongst other large nationalities or populations they do have the sense of: "we have to have our own masterly way of surviving while here or there amongst these other people. It's not surprising that you will see certain groups of ethnicities/people 'holding down' certain job areas or positions of life that people in general recognize them as Leaders of. All said, foreigners have that sense of we got to have our own niche or speciality whereas black americans typically don't think like that. You even have people of other cultures who will try to take the credit for originating and being the only professionals of a selected lifestyle, duty or job area. As Rick James used to say in so many words: "black americans always become lazy at what they do (complacency) as opposed to professionally maintaining whatever it is they originate." Ironically, the surprising thing that black americans have started doing is revolting against things that they recognize as being cruel or encroaching.
That same hip hop culture has cause more damage than good. You guys should wake up
@@stevenwilliams3015 I copy that; yet, I'm coming to find out, especially in the area where we as whole people (from all continents and countries) should be open to positive criticism; however, our people have become non accountable for their actions; lastly, they have also become somewhat delusional. Yet, I continually try to give respect to all.
Yes, I agree many “African” celebrities are jealous of the fact that Black American culture dominates internationally. Our culture is copied on every continent: jazz, R&B, soul, hip-hop, rap, pop, rock & roll, blues, gospel, and the style, the actors, writers, playwrights, and then the leaders: Muhammad Ali, Richard Wright, Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, the list can go on and on. Black Americans are the center of “Blackness” in the world, and some just hate that fact.
I agree and I'm Caribbean.
I can assure you the only people who make this a thing is still Black Americans . People dont care about things in real life bro .
Hmmm, maybeee. Have you ever heard of the Guadeloupean scientist who revolutionized the nuclear industry? Did you know that you can have fast internet today because of a Nigerian Igbo inventor? What you're saying is partially true. Music and art are something that blacks are fundamentally gifted in. The reason why you've seen so much progress in America is because the Africans were colonized during the time that black Americans were developing their art. Black American music has actually been heavily influenced by white America's culture. Let's take jazz as an example. The cello is not a black American instrument. Blacks had to witness whites playing those instruments and copy them the best they know how. That means in their own "African" framework. That gave birth to jazz, blues, gospel etc. Without the "African framework" you would not have black American music and art. It just like blacks speaking English in with an African accent and calling it Ebonics. Trust me, the American negro accent, the Jamaican accent, the Haitians' French accent are all white languages spoken within an "African framework." There nothing exceptional about black Americans just like there is no American exceptionalism. Obama explained that during his debate with Romney. America got ahead of the world because the whole world was destroyed during WWII. That enabled them to dominate, develop markets, and prop up their world order. Black Americans should pay attention to the continent the same way whites and Asians are. The new genres of music will emerge out of Africa as the new resources that power our technologies. Don't get involved in those petty discussions. Be curious about your origins and collaborate to bring the world into an African universe.
You forgot drill!!! They are always talking bout black Americans being hood and uncivilized on each continent and country you can find a community of local and popular rappers imitating American artist. They are inspired. It is what it is 🗣
Lmao
He’s a vulture. But why haven’t I heard more American performers speaking out against his rhetoric?
You don't waste $50 bullets on $5 ni66as
All black entertainers should keep a low profile in this anti black environment. We in the grass roots got this.

' ever since he got his new hairline from Turkey .. ' 😂😂😂😂

Didn’t know this 😂😂😂😂
We’ve got bigger problems than what Akon has to say.
Exactly, let’s ignore him and his music
But that's how bigger problem start and we can't get anywhere because we have type of thing amongst us.
@Đark Destroyer My dad is Jamaican I agree but even with that so called unity in Africa and the Caribbean it’s still ran by Caucasians and the China mon but yet it’s all melanin politicians 🤔. Yea melanin Americans do need more unity but I honestly think if we had melanin elected politicians every term like you guys it’ll be different than these other all melanin countries.
@Đark Destroyer 🤔🤡🤫I swear you REALLY don't know enough like REALLY don't know what you're talking about, an I'm low key offended by that b.s. you just said, but I'ma take it easy on you here an leave it at that.😤😎 all luv
@@juniorried7703 I like how you choose to say melanated instead of Black, I can dig it, but we do refer to ourselves as Black too, our Ancestors did as well.
He quiet about the tribal conflicts in Africa.
Exactly. And this is why Foundationals don't want to fool with us. Honestly, it's way past time for Foundationals to start being very selective about what Africans they put on and support.
FACTS, he quiet on that corruption and giving business to Chinese in Africa more then the Africans living there.
He's quite about all them six wives he got hid away in Senegal too😳
Snake
We have tribal conflicts all over the globe, what do you think the EU-Ukraine-US-Russia conflict is all about. Or Serbia or China conflicts are about? Or the China - India conflicts are all about?
Which countries are those? Am in Africa and don't see any tribal conflict..
Why every nation got pull our people into there conversations.
Good question 🤔
because the american blacks are the main ones acting a fool all over the world. The whole planet knows about the deeds they done. The blacks have a rep!!!
It's because all nations owe us reparations.
Because y'all Poppin and they ain't.
Because we're the greatest people on the ola, it's really jealousy Deuteronomy 7:6 kjv 1 Peter 2:9 kjv Psalms 82:5-6 kjv John 10:34 kjv we're the children of Israel and we're above all nations
Akon said "We" ( Africans ) and
"THEM N's ( African Americans ).
He totally separated himself and reference us to a negative connotation.
I am Nigerian and born in Africa. This is the word of a Man not the entire continent. Let's not let what Akon has said affect us. Forget about all he has said and do your thing. I know it feels sad to hear all this when he is supposed to be on your side. We are all one and l believe he must be remorseful for all this by now. We love you all and God bless❤

Uncle Phil, thank you for this information; otherwise, I wouldn't have known anything about Akon. He has no business saying this about Black Americans. I am glad you checked him out.
He can say whatever he wants. Black folks are not above reproach . regardless of what society tries to pretend you are
@@shilobutton5485 Who tf are you to tell other people what we should talked about? We not Africans so stop talking like we the same. We FBA over here mf not no Africans so take your ass somewhere your opinion means something instead of stalking us out all day.
I like how level headed your approach was on this matter. Acorny speaks for himself. We as a community shouldn’t point the finger but rather help each other work through and accept our differences. We often accept other races differences more than we accept our own SMH
Akon trying to appear relevant.... he's not and nothing he says add or subtract nothing from us. Black Indigenous people here have endured so much yet quickly maligned by others that benefit from certain aspects of our culture supreme. Did he observe the addictions of Glue and Alcohol in Senegal, Addictions sweeping across South Africa heroin, Addiction in Somalia of Gat ... addiction is global phenomenon...hip hop culture has nothing to do with addiction or criminal behavior. His comments are very divisive.
Well said I must say, and by the way acorny fits him perfect. 😄✌️
I've herd him speak in one interview and I've never herd so much use of the "N-word'' in an interview, it gives you an insight into his character and the psychology of the man
I'm Afro Caribbean from Trinidad and I think Akon was disrespectful as heck. I heard Africans in the UK do this to us Caribbeans to, but I don't know how true that is.

I'm an African that has seriously been impacted by Hip Hop, I cannot deny the fact that I have been heavily influenced by Black American culture in general, it's hard not to be. Akon has been lying his ass off and I've been surprised nobody has been talking about it. He claims he's providing electricity for 400million Africans which has to be the biggest cap of the century. Concerning Afro beats, in my opinion Afro beats swag(not Afro Beat), is heavily Hip Hop inspired, dudes be looking like rappers and then be low key dissing rappers in Africa.

As a South African I am used to hearing African immigrants coming into my country and start hating and talking trash about us black South Africans. To me, it's a sign of weakness on their part, coming from failed states and now trying to disapprove everything we do as black people here. Many of them have no intentions of collaborating, but instead are in competition. Reject them.

Agreed!
And South African is not a failed state? Yall are so lazy they had to bring in blacks from other African Country to work.
@@ITISKONY you are a nuisance, depositing yourselves all over the world where you are not wanted. If you are such hard workers, why don't you stay in your countries and build your countries. Nooo! Instead, you are killing one another because of religion and tribal affiliations. Small brains, smaller than those of monkeys. As we speak, India is kicking out nigerians right now. Not so long ago, it was Arabs of the UAE doing the same thing.
South Africa has achieved in 28 years, more than what all of Sub-Sahara combined has tried to achieve in 560 years, and suddenly we are lazy? Who built South Africa when you were busy fighting tribal wars in those jungles of Africa?
Nobody knows anything about South Africa. Stfu Trevor
Akon rolls with the chinese. How people couldn't see this coming is beyond me lol!
But, the Chinese don’t roll with him. Chinese people don’t respect Africans. It seems like some west African country is about to be colonized again.
Akon is an a@#! However, China has done more for Africa than any other nation. Sorry, but it is the truth. That is one of the reasons why America has a problem with China.
so can we label him a culture vulture now?
Yep! 👍
Yes.
As long as you label yourselves ones too, if you use language, time, astrology, Binary systems (computing), use any electronics, follow or have followed a spiritual or monotheistic path and used the measurement of time.

I had a African on my job called me a slave and he was better than me because he drove a Mercedes. I lit into so bad he went and told my supervisors and they called me into the office and I explained the situation and they you were in your rights to call him out. I have some great brothers from Nigeria and Ghana and they really appreciate the doors that our ancestors opened for everyone to come in and be successful.
They slaves to and are slaves in the diamond fields
The one aspect of this entire issue is the fact that these people have no problem coming to the FBA community to learn their craft, build their fortunes as well as become the most successful they ever could be, then once they reach their plateau, they flip the script and instantly begin dumping on the very people that made them the people that have become......aka 'US'. This includes not just those that gave them their start or included them in their cast, shows etc, but those of us that came to the venues that they appeared in and bought tickets to see the movies they played in as well as gave them all the support they ever had to reach their highest goals. Yet, in all that 'WE have done to put their names on the map, our appreciation is thrown out the window and we are the subjects of their hate and vitriol. So since this is the method in which the game is played, let us learn from our mistake and begin outing all non FBA's that are attempting to make a dime off our backs and allow them to get theirs the same way we did. They also have the option of going to the same white supremacist that they love and make themselves successful.Let's see just how well that works!
I Agree 👍
I'm with that also.
That's part of the "status quo" or cultural norm of America.
We must all remember the same people we meet on the way up are those we meet on the way down. Whoreship of the material things in life brings forth death. There must be a balance between the spiritual and the material. Material things are only necessary for needs of conveniences and utility. We must not whoreship dead matter; lest we become such dead matter. I give tanks, Jah RastafarI guide and protect.

He owes us an apology and he should thank us as well.📡📡📡
Always gotta put us down to make themselves look good terrible 😞
So sagging and smoking weed is up for you? Ok
90% of humanity operates similarly.
Isn't that pathetic!
@@notchoome5694 The issue is he should have stayed home in Senegal where things are so much better.
@@mikolowiskamikolowiska4993 so letting Chinese traffic and abuse your kids is up for you? Ok
Lets call Akon for who he was and is. During his days of performing, truth be told, in my opinion, he was trying to be the next Nate Dogg. He was featured in some hip hop records and r&b and he had a couple of hits, but Nate Dogg, man, 90% of the songs he was on were top 10 hits and that is why he is known as "King of the Hooks".
I'm from Zimbabwe to be honest I never felt Akons music . His comments there are stupid , African Americans music has so much influence accross colour lines. What the hell is he talking about. Burner boys music whilst some is nice listening to but you won't find someone from S.A. trying to be like him and yet you get lots accross the world wanting to be an African American musician
Akon does not speak for the whole of Africa . He just an entertainer .
What’s offensive is him taking our wave hair style and getting that hairline with it
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Africans been had waves since before there was even an America 🤦🏾♂️ you people really are dumb.
Waves are natural sometimes. So many kids have them and out nothing in their hair
@@rickyreward226 that hairline ain’t even natural
It’s gonna get really hard to push this whole “abandon ur community and get women in other countries” narrative. His mindset is a common thought process. And the ones who DONT have this mindset, have pride and don’t seek spouses outside of their culture….. Heal OUR community. We all we got
Amen 💯%
Well yes and no. We have to weed out of ALL of the masculine non cooperative women and knuckle heads who are not about building FBA/Black FAMILIES. This is the ONLY way we will sustain anything and have a future.
Nah. Passport Bros are still happening 💯
It will never work. USA requires that you sign that you will be financially responsible for them for 10 years even if you divorce. So once they're here they're set for life. Bring them over if you want to.
Please no disrespect. What is African American culture? I hope is not hip hop?
Pride comes before a fall. He better keep that energy when it gets real.
Wait, he grew up in Dakar in Senegal. It amazes me though how some foreigners think they are better than the people who paved the way and built up from the soil they come to. We are so disrespected.
He grew up in the states
Akon grew up in America. 😂 It's crazy bcuz Africans see him as American. 🤣. So now he's trying to condemn black America to be excepted in Africa & it's still not working 😂🤣
I wonder if he would have that same energy and viewpoint if he was in New York City doing that interview at The breakfast club 🤣🤣🤣🤣 probably not cuz he probably would make it off the block without being approached by some of the same people he worked with 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a senegalese i totally agree with you
Phil talking about akon's hairline🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤤🤣🤣🤣👍
Let's not let this producer of "jail anthems" and "chain gang Jodys" put artists against one another who otherwise would not be.
Yo had me dying bra when u said - u gotta lotta unfinished products keep up the info didn’t know Akon was swinging this way
I remember when Akon was on smack tv doing a interview back in 2003 or 05.A matter fact he talked about getting into some trouble here in the states, New Jersey. I think he did some time in jail or prison allegedly.
Akon was promoting his song locked up
He's been on one for a minute, saying offensive things, nice break down
His career is not going well, his album flopped. So now he's out here stirring up controversy to get some shine....loser😅
Proper Africans are better than American MFN just like European is better than American white
Thank You!👍
It's terrible how many artists I used to listen to as a kid who straight ruin their legacy because they want to 🦝 and unnecessarily talk about blk American people. The dude is delusional.
After all that we have done for Akon as black Americans! Wow we put you on bro and now you spit in our faces? LOL
Exactly bro
thats what t3thers who comes from back stabbing cultures do its normal to them
Akon was actually right but he should've kept his sentiments to himself
AKON IS FINISHED
Get well soon brotha Phil! Blessings to all the staff!
There’s just something about us black Americans! We inspire envy and imitation by them all. ✊🏾✊🏾
He fled and couldn’t make it In Senegal. He jumped on the back of fba and made 3 dollars and is no longer relevant.😂
When he sung “locked up” ft Jeezy an AA I didn’t hear no African music from him being promoted. He embraced our whole A American culture & we embraced him. We are from Africa too ! We were just dropped off at different locations. We were not here by choice. But he came here by choice 🤷🏽♀️. I love all of us, I just don’t appreciate this. Akon is not above AA. No one is above each other we are on the same team.
No, "we" are not on the same team! The betrayal is real!!! Most Black immigrants feel this way and don't mind siding with yt for their favor and other goodies!
Where are the slave ships that brought us here? We are native Americans we been here.
Akon is simply proud of his African roots.he is the only rapper who has toured Africa extensively.other black American rappers have largely avoided Africa and toured places like Russia, Asia, Japan and Buckingham palace.facts!
PROVE IT!!
that's not true and who cares it our culture not Africa's culture.
Akon was a MENACE to Society here in America! The rappers need to gather his azz up and get some straightening!
Lmao! 🤣 But True he need to put some RESPECT ON OUR NAMES ... 😠
And you african americans are the greatest menace of all our african continent!!! Because you bring sex, alcohol and weapons propaganda to the all world, and you are so proud of it!!!
Also Amani in my african language that your ancestors forgot means Finish!!!
Akon wouldn’t be nothing if it wasn’t for the American rappers putting him on
Stupid hood mindset of wishing violence on someone who says something you disagree with
These reparations got everyone mad lol.
Wait …what ??😂😂😂🤔
@@sungaze342 ever since the massive push and the ball has finally gotten rolling for our reparations claim. Everybody and they mama been saying something slick about black Americans. Just random hating out of nowhere with a touch of jealousy. Left and right lol.
☺YEP!! THEY KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS....
@HOUSE OF HISTORI🔯 lol they the worst. Just below Somalis smh.
Akon owes it to African Americans to have a platform to speak his nonsense. The fact that uncle Phil still has the decency to call him a brother is humbling... you have character sir
Please now I know,,, you guys are not African Americans. You are black Americans. If you can really fight over Akon’s statement,,, then you guys are lost for good.This is bullshit
Akon is an American..who have right to free speech
Whatever happened to him building that City?
🤔😏CITY OF DREAMS..... IN HIS MIND PERHAPS😝🤪
I’m with you, brother! Akon messed up royally putting down black America. African music doesn’t travel around the world, black American music does. 99.9% of the cultures around the aren’t mimicking Africans, they are mimicking Black America. Besides Hugh Masakayla and Miriam Makeba, I can’t name any African performers. And the before mentioned artists had to come here to the American black community to make it.
Lol u must’ve never heard of afrobeats. And it gains worldwide recognition. Black American music has no comparison. I don’t listen to American rap/rnb cuz the lyrics are perverted n degrading.
👍💯
Well said I agree one million percent I am black I don’t like foreign people at all they think they better then us why they here I alway ask them if you don’t like America go back home we don’t really need you
What are you talking about? Reaggae is originally from African, and now Afrobeats has been created originally in Africa...All type of dance used by Beyonce has been stolen in Africa. Michael Jackson took most of his beats in Cameroon, Congo and Gabon...Black Music itself have it soul from Africa!!! Give more respect to the continent that gave life to your ancestors
@@boubousky4068 Absolutely! African music enriches my soul, nothing can compare
Till this day, I've never purchased any music with Akon on the track. I don't need Africans selling me American music.
However, I will buy those Afro beats because it's fire 🔥
FBA pay attention to what they think about us.
Don't do broad brush. We have riders over their. Please don't lump them in with the jig dancers.
what riders,s? Stop it,F-riders! Africans frauds F all of them. You are just scared, FBA don't need for them tethers!
No one mimics Africans .. just no Akon. You ride our swagg. Just like we know y’all had a hand in us being here and for us to make it and you come over and talk mess about the people you benefit from . Africans and blacks are not the same .!!!
No one not even Africans. Something he’s gotta deal with.😂
YOU ARE THE MOST DISGUSTING PUNK IN THE WORLD!!!! TO SAY THAT AFRICANS AND BLACKS ARE NOT THE SAME!!!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR AFRICAN HISTORY!!!!!!?????
If Black Americans could go back in time and not help Akon's music career, I think I can comfortably say that many of us would jump on that opportunity to change it
🤣
Hey bro! all you said was facts and makes a lot of sense, i like it that you kept it very respectful and you didn't generalize.
On what whites calling Africans d,u,m,b an weak for resources Europeans take and they hate us
Not only was it called KONvict music, he (Akon) was a convicted felon himself.
Boy look like an addition of the Chi lites from the Early 80's with THAT hair piece!! 🤣
When he said America wasn't built for black Americans everyone applaud him. Come on y'all. 😂 😂
Still don't change the facts that black people built this country and was always here a lot of these immigrants better realize why they were ever able to come here FBA civil rights leaders made it possible for all these immigrants why he never speak on that tribalism crap over there.
Although it was their free slave labor that built the country.
He was right
No it wasn’t built for us…..but it was built by us.
@@doloresboston8571 👆🏿👌🏿💯🎯
@Phillip Scott Experience: I heard about this issue this morning. Akon is misinformed about our people here in america. Our people in america derive from the diaspora, so we are ONE PEOPLE. Miseducation(through the media) , and white men that pit us against each other. The slave trade is the biggest atrocity known to mankind, and so it should not be dismissed. Im a diaspora brother myself(igbo) and grew up with, and understand our people in america's plight. The bible says "gather yourselves together o ye nation NOT desired"(zephaniah 2:1). That message from the Highest is for blacks here and in the diaspora/latinos/n.americans , because truth be told we are not a desired people in this land. We must have patience with one another. Peace
