I swear, this is a beautiful conversation. I need to save this for the future. Akon! You are just a genius, I will love to be mentored by you bro. With all due respect to everyone making Africa great again. ✌️
Many More wins ahead of him … He as always been an advocate of Nigeria music one of the very few to collaborate with our artists back then in the late 2000’s … glad to see the rest of the world is catching up to the beautiful music coming out of Nigeria and Africa as a whole 🇳🇬❤️
Akon a Legend, we know all the way from Cameroon when I saw him wear the Senegal wrist bands, Always asked myself « is he African ? » didn’t shy away from his roots when nobody cared and put a lot of people on, God bless your way KING
Before today, I never knew Akon is this articulate, smart and interesting. Also, he seems to have done a lot for the music industry in terms of spotting talents, setting trends, song writing & building alliances….
Akon makes great music and he's a real cool dude in real life. I met him in Santiago, Dominican Republic sometime in 2007/2008. Salute to Sway & company with a great interview!
This is one of the best interviews I've watched. So amazing how Akon is so educated abt Africa and Music. It's no mistake why he is who he is. Shld definitely be celebrated more
Africa is the future..Mother Africa is about to take what belongs to her..I love my Africans Brothers Around the Globe the ones In America and the ones down here In Africa..we one Black Nation..Black life matters Alot 🥰🤍♥️..we are so proud of any Black Nation Around the world..love you so much..Mother Africa Is Proud of you♥️♥️🥰🙌🙌♥️🤍🤍♥️
Akon is truly a legend. Wizkid is Yoruba not Igbo. The two tribes are pretty much into each other most importantly. They marry each other and work well together. Tekno is Igbo. Such a genius. He wrote and produced if for Davido who is Yoruba boy. Oxlade's Kulosa was produced by another Ozedikus another igbo boy. Another genius too. Oxlade is Yoruba. Ozedikus the maker of the beat is Igbo. Dbanj and Don Jazzy are from these two tribes. The day these two tribes come together in politics and governance. The world will return back to Africa. For the record, most African Americans are from these two tribes.
Love this interview Akon was always my boy growing up and up till this day I keep saying they don't give him the props he deserves great artist great business humble soul keep shining king they will have to someday acknowledge your greatness.
Everyone talks about Kanye or Parallel or Jay-Z being big business men, not that they are great in their own rights, but this guy is on a whole other level actually helping his country out and basically raised us too. Gaga is the best too so I'm so glad he gave her that song
The way that Akon paint the picture out loud of memories is amazing✨✨✨ I love a interview that can keep my attention the whole time🤍
Akon thank you for standing up for Nigerian music we will never forget all you did
Made in Africa

Akon is a standup guy, a pure soul who is eager to do good, incredibly talented and a visionary. Legend ✊🏾
One of the best artists ever. The things he’s doing for Africa are remarkable.
I swear, this is a beautiful conversation. I need to save this for the future. Akon! You are just a genius, I will love to be mentored by you bro. With all due respect to everyone making Africa great again. ✌️

As a Togolese 🇹🇬 most of my English comes from his songs. I love Akon. #Konvictmusic.
Bruhh I've never had therapy but this conversation was like one.
Legendary African number one ❤🔥🔥
I enjoyed this interview 😊, can't wait to see Davido up in there
Everyone talks about Kanye or Parallel or Jay-Z being big business men, not that they are great in their own rights, but this guy is on a whole other level actually helping his country out and basically raised us too. Gaga is the best too so I'm so glad he gave her that song
THIS INTERVIEW IS MORE THAN JUST MUSIC.

READ The Title
Akon is a hit maker for real
No Grammy cus he didn’t sale his soul 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
