      Dick Masterson I know Eminem isn't that open about that, but he does more than you would think.
      His charity donations generally go to Detroit/Michigan.
      He even has an own foundation for this.
      For example:
      The money that he won in the lawsuit against a party in New Zealand goes to charity or he sold many sneakers for the hurricane damage some months ago.
      He supported Detroit educational facilities that don't have alot of money or Detroit health organizations.

      WHAT HAPPENED ...HE GREW UP! AKON is a MAN ! Most of the MALES in entertainment are GIVEN a SCRIPT and they are not allowed to display MANHOOD or INTELLIGENCE only BUFFOONERY especially entertainers that are BLACK! THIS destroys our communities and GIVES whites their REASON to hate , lie, murder and steal

    First I love Akon and he is doing amazing things. Just want to bring up a couple points: 1. Africa is not a country, it’s 54 countries. 2. Not everywhere is Africa poor... there is an amazing and thriving economy in Dakar, the capital of Senegal (and many other cities around the continent). I’ve lived here for the past 5 years and the music, creative scene, and business innovation are amazing.

    if you were born in 90s or early 2000s akon was proabbly your childhood lol but i think the reason his new albums / singles are not doing well is probably because of all these mumble rappers who just have a nice beat and no other real talent thats what the people listen to nowadays all around the world.

    Good shit man, but just one thing people from US need to know, Akon case was very similar to 50 cent. When Akon first came out, he was extremely popular all over Europe and Africa way more popular than in states ( i was living in Nederland at the time and both Akon and 50cent were everywhere all over the radio and music channels. That’s why both of them sell so much worldwide. For example Jay z at the time was selling millions in the states but not comparable to what those 2 were doing.
