This man went from robing cars to owning a gas station in his mansion to now owning a whole city… motivation at its best. From Dekalb jail to Akon City 🎉🎉🎉
If he says it's gonna be done by 2026 cause this war gonna end up starting a ww3 then a nuclear war or if Putin drops a bomb that'll escalate to ww3 so if that happens good luck to us
Akon’s Akon city is nothing more than a field of dreams. I think Akon announced this project back in 2021. We are now in 2024 and the project hasn’t even completed an Akon dog house. Akon should rename his Akon city to AKON DUST.
This is a black role model, he also made a bachata song in Spanish. Versatile, smart and success story. Talented artist as well. His music was not whiny like todays little babies. Tried so hard, no cried so hard.
@@vladtv why didn't u ask him about how suge beat his brother down and stripped him naked and had his boys robbed in a home invasion instead you let akon tell a whole lie about suge snitching, that's false and biased journalism
This Akon city sounds like a pie in the sky. Considering that it was based on crypto which went belly up. I read an article from Senegal where they said other than the ceremonial stone nothing else has been done since. Even the quoted amount of of $6 billion sounds funny compared to other similar big projects in Africa.
He thinks he can build an entire city in less than 4 years. That alone has scam written all over it, would take a minimum of 20 years to build a small city
Yeah this will fail big time. Just like his amateur cryptocurrency project imploded, which didn't even deliver on his airdrop promise. During his QandAs he showed off that he has 0 idea of how payment systems work in Africa. This whole AKOIN & AKOIN city scam is criminally full of shit.
Blacks don't build . They only move to higher IQ countries to leech off intelligent societies. He's not a scientist or a structural engineer. He's a fucking singer. Dime a dozen in the black community.
Finally something positive not about I went to jail and I got shot a bunch of times I'm glad to hear an interview with black man is being productive being positive and pushing forward
Who cares about what they think? They can’t even do anything about the corrupt government who can’t even maintain the infrastructure and I’m gonna listen to what you have to say about somebody who goes back home to build instead of living his life here in the USA partying and effing beautiful women? Please, they better shtup and appreciate what he’s doing
@@willyngomo7374 that mindset is ignorant bruh ….. u don’t know what’s the dealing behind this, u don’t know how this might affect the people of Africa in the next 20 years especially where u got the credit line from …… it’s deeper then they better be happy because it’s consequences to everything …… all of Africa is not poor u know that right
@@moulayendiaye8022 He's partnered with the chinese right ? Well , Let me tell u something about china , if they say they gonna complete it in 2026 , believe me they will. Lived there for years , those people can build faster than anybody anywhere .
The saddest part of this is that his lies might have have actually damaged confidence of investing in Africa. I personally don’t think it was scam and that he had good intentions but is just delusional with a huge ego.
how are you gonna build a city in 3 years? He's been talking about this for years and they're just starting to build in 2023? Idk but I'm expecting China to own this next year.

@@tanyacaberro2546 I understand that part already, but you don’t understand the crypto stuff I’m referring to. I see you don’t know about XLM and especially XRP. I’d advice you to do some hard hard research on it
I love Akon but he needs to stop lying. Akon City hasn’t even begun to be built yet. The thought is a very good idea but it’s worrying that a lot of people might loose all their investment.
@@realsebsworld3004 okay so what’s your point ? Someone else can go an do another country and so on and so on and then the whole place would be lit right ? But not with negative broke people like your comment surfing on RUclips , I can bet you’re American go knock on the wall next to you that’s sheet rack right ? U live in a wooden rented or leased house and even if you own it you don’t own the land it’s on go sit down and read a book peasant @ceoofmobay I’m a DOER in my country not a talker like yourself 🇯🇲🇯🇲
Sounds GREAT! But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little bit skeptical. Hope this comes to fruition. The people of Senegal were absolutely warm and welcoming when I visited a few years ago, but I could not ignore the level of poverty that existed in the places I traveled. Hope this benefits ALL the people of Senegal, not just a lucky few. I hope to return one day. Perhaps Akon City will be on the itinerary.
@@strawberrysoup6571 He's very charasmatic. What concerns me is the the government of Senegal is also investing in this project. If it goes to waste, thats money that could've been used to improve the lives of their citizens.

Do your research, apparently it's a ponzi scheme... Allegedly.
Just hope the people put in position within the city don't corrupt the damn thing before it can really flourish.
Akon city but 100% owned and operated by chinese

Shut up

That camera 🎥 move around was a first I seen in a VLAD interview🔥
Vlad adding some cinematic panning. Leveling up 🤣
Reinvesting in the brand lol 🤣

This is a black role model, he also made a bachata song in Spanish. Versatile, smart and success story. Talented artist as well. His music was not whiny like todays little babies. Tried so hard, no cried so hard.

This is how it’s done.

Pun intended?

I heard Dr. Umar is opening a school in Akon City😂😂😂😂
DOOONATIONS🎉
Akon is a legend. Konvicted and Trouble are timeless albums. You just had to be there..
He forgot to tell you that Akon City really belongs to the Chinese.
Finally somebody smart
Facts and mostly us Africans really know this, they’re taking over the continent
Exactly. That’s the secret nobody talks about. Chinese money
He will pay them back
Yeah this will fail big time. Just like his amateur cryptocurrency project imploded, which didn't even deliver on his airdrop promise. During his QandAs he showed off that he has 0 idea of how payment systems work in Africa. This whole AKOIN & AKOIN city scam is criminally full of shit.

Africa is complicated
They weren’t lying

Gosh what am I doing with my life??… Congrats to my fellow African brother. This is straight Motivation!!! 💯🔥
You got it brotha.

It's Cryptoland but in Africa
Ain't no other black man doing what he doing an god bless him
Im happy glad did this interview
A value 85 mil for 640 acres is big cap. 132 thousand an acre in Senegal😂
All under Chinese debt..
Waited every minute for this
Okay Akon, you came a long way since those Jersey City days. Much success with the City!
I would like to hear from people in Africa about this and what they think about it !
He is lying google the project they put the 1st stone then nothing
Who cares about what they think? They can’t even do anything about the corrupt government who can’t even maintain the infrastructure and I’m gonna listen to what you have to say about somebody who goes back home to build instead of living his life here in the USA partying and effing beautiful women?

Just seat there and shut up
Nice to hear from him again. I used to bump him all the time in the mid to late 2000s
I have a feeling if this was done altruisically he wouldn't need to name it after himself.
He works for the Chinese government they are there to build mines and steal of the African people
Inspiring. The world needs more men like this.
Yeah the world needs more African scam artists…..
Akon look like a warlord now. Vlad knows no logistics. He's a fan drooling!
Warlord wtf he look like regular black dude like bossie, gucci mane, wesly snipes and crunchy black darskinned dudes !
@@azitsallgood2514 Warlord owned by China?
“Brought electricity to places that never had it”. That’s deep. We need Akons everywhere
LOL no we don’t. He’s a liar and a sellout. Go read the docs or look at what locals near there are saying.
That was china
But he still did a remix of locked up, with sixnine. He wild for that.
We love u Akon ❤️
No you don't.
@@xavierclayton9990 yes i do
The saddest part of this is that his lies might have have actually damaged confidence of investing in Africa. I personally don’t think it was scam and that he had good intentions but is just delusional with a huge ego.

You realize this is all a lie and he never built anything.😂
This didn’t age well
I notice he said condominiums. Can I suggest
Akondos? 🙌
I see what you did there.
Black excellence. It’s not how u start but how u finish. Congrats homie, u deserve it
And this is the difference between a American & African celebrity......not flashing but investing in people
500 hectares = 1235 acres of land ...in AFRICA our motherland man this man is greatness
Love the new 🎥 angles!!
Legendary interview 🔥💪
That is so fire 💯🔥🔥 I truly hope the city is a success no cap
We need the full interview vlad

This is the best description by far
I heard this whole city shit is a scam

Next year? They already do.

Exactly sounds like it’s just gonna b a lil tourist spot destination talkin abt building beach houses like any local can afford that smh

That’s unfortunate.
When are you visiting NYC on vacation?
Akon is literally building Wakanda. RESPECT 💯💯
When I was in Dakar 2 months ago we drove down to the projected site. Didn't see any signs of construction.
They started to build an invisible bridge a year ago to connect Akon City with New York. True story. Believe me bro.
This is the type of brother that was making deals to SELL other brothers once upon a time 💯

Always a great interview
Akon uses XLM. A lot of y’all ain’t even ready for that type of conversation when it comes to the transfer of wealth coming.
