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
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
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.
@@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
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
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.
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.
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 .
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.
I live in Nova Scotia and we just lost power for 10 days from hurricane Fiona… man that shit was hard as fuck, you don’t realize how dependant you are to all this shit
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.
@@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
@@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 UA-cam , 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 🇯🇲🇯🇲
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.
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.

"I mean it's not the same as Battery Park, where you can see the Statue of Liberty... Shout out to BooBoo though"
You can not buld a major city in 4 years. This is hillarious
He hasn't even built the roads!

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
Akon and Vlad is always fire combination 😂
Shut up
2 tethers
Vlad adding some cinematic panning. Leveling up 🤣
Reinvesting in the brand lol 🤣
Vlad was already doing it with TK

Hahaha yeah he’s a legend alright. He pulled off a hint scam and you believe him! 😂
I’m rooting for this brother right here.
This is how it’s done.
Vlad gonna be the Sheriff

I got so much respect for Akon
Lmao I used to but his hair, his dumb takes, and his made up history blew mine
@@zabariduwab9950 I thought I was trippin when I saw the hair 😂
Why is that? This is all a scam you know right. He never built or did anything in Africa.😂
Lol as predicted it’s all BS
Waited every minute for this
Akon is a legend. Konvicted and Trouble are timeless albums. You just had to be there..
What Akon is doing for Africa is amazing.
he's doing fuck all. it's all in his head and will remain there
@@AshMcFarlane If you say so.
@@KD_SWAGGER There is nothing there. Just one stone Gregor MacGregor scam

Akon city sound like a gta city 😂
It's Cryptoland but in Africa
Okay Akon, you came a long way since those Jersey City days. Much success with the City!
Locked Up gon be the national anthem. 💀
finally bro Vlads akon interviews are the best!!!!!!!
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?

Always a great interview
I talked to several people from Senegal and they say Akon city is Cap.🤷🏽♂️
Africa is complicated
They weren’t lying
every time he start talking it sound like he about to sing haha he got such a unique singing voice
“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
Love the new 🎥 angles!!
Akon is literally building Wakanda. RESPECT 💯💯
I’m so glad he back on here! I’m goin 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.
The homie Acorn is back 💪🏾
Akon has the biggest heart in the music industry no one ever can hold the torch compared to him
You realize this is all a lie and he never built anything.😂
And this is the difference between a American & African celebrity......not flashing but investing in people
All under Chinese debt..
Everybody gansta until Akon opens his own city.
We need the full interview vlad
Jesus Christ. Is this guy a billionare or what?? He really putting money where his mouth and helping Africa frfr what a g
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?
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.
But he still did a remix of locked up, with sixnine. He wild for that.
Vlad upped the production value I see👏🏽
A value 85 mil for 640 acres is big cap. 132 thousand an acre in Senegal😂
Inspiring. The world needs more men like this.
Yeah the world needs more African scam artists…..
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
Black excellence. It’s not how u start but how u finish. Congrats homie, u deserve it
I was expecting Vlad to bring up 69 😂😂😂
Vlad not gonna talk about how Akon soldout his people to the Chinese. He will just gloss over that.
Please elaborate
elaborate
How
@@ghostfacedrilla4119 Akon will be glad to let you know he don’t give af bout you
You don't know anything about Senegal
Just seat there and shut up
Legendary interview 🔥💪
that boy akon looking big 💪
500 hectares = 1235 acres of land ...in AFRICA our motherland man this man is greatness
20 years dang what a friendship
When Akon speaks it just feels like he's soaring above all the gimmicks people get in the game for, his hustle is on a slightly different level
This is the best description by far
I heard this whole city shit is a scam
@@ceemuhammad3707 Africa is so corrupt it’s not that hard to believe at all, and I don’t think Akon puts morals and ethics over money

No you don't.

ALRIGHT HERE WE GO AKON, WELCOME BACK TO VLADTV. Lot's has happened since the last time we talked
I notice he said condominiums. Can I suggest
Akondos? 🙌
I see what you did there.
I live in Nova Scotia and we just lost power for 10 days from hurricane Fiona… man that shit was hard as fuck, you don’t realize how dependant you are to all this shit
That’s unfortunate.
When are you visiting NYC on vacation?
That city will not be done by 2026; them folks over there said it’s only one small block of stone in some grass field and a sign 🪧 😢
That is so fire 💯🔥🔥 I truly hope the city is a success no cap
I'm inspired
Amazing what Akon is doing 👏
Big bruh motivate me. Good intervee Vlado
This is the type of brother that was making deals to SELL other brothers once upon a time 💯
Finally someone with an IQ above room temperature here. The dude is a scammer and Vlad gives him his platform without doing the homework.
Whaaaat?????? Anyway as long as you're not an African saying that.....proceed

Damn that’s 1235 acres… I see you Akon 💯💯
Dear Black child, no dear AFRICAN child, it is never impossible until it is done.
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.
Stellar all day 😉
The only transfer of wealth happening with Akon is him giving Chinese millions of dollars of his people hard work
@@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

@@seb1554 good luck being under the UBI system in the near future, kid. Pretty sure you don’t even know what that is of course
I wish Haiti had a person like Akon. In the Caribbean Haiti has no electricity in most parts.
Akon said “Let there be light in Africa “ and there was LIGHT ! 💡 GOD BLESS HIM FOREVER
Stop it
So the Big continent was lit by him ...this is only done in one country.
Yeah right
