- In this full-length interview, Akon talks about his plans for “Akon City” in Senegal, and Akon explained that Covid didn’t cause too many setbacks, with the first phase being completed in 2026. Akon explained that “Akon Tower” and hotel will be completed, along with other facilities to encourage tourism. Akon then revealed that the land is now worth $85 million, but he added that he paid a lot less when he bought it. From there, Akon explained that he was building the “biggest hospital in Africa,” and he added that he thought against putting up statues.
Moving along, Akon talks about the family dynamics back in his home country, Senegal, and his father's marriage to multiple women before giving the backstory of how his parents met. From there, the father of nine addresses the rumors about how many wives he has. As the interview continues, Akon and DJ Vlad discuss the highly publicized "fake vocals" lawsuit regarding Michael Jackson. Moving along, they talk about the landscape of the music business and the way in which several CZcamsrs have surpassed recording artists financially.
Towards the end of the discussion, the Senegalese-American singer/rapper revisits the night his manager, Screw, was tragically shot and the uncanny way that he passed away. He also explains the difference between American women and women born and raised in Africa. Lastly, he shares his thoughts on the debate about which ethnic group started hip-hop. - Zábava

“I am the bank, I got a million minutes” 😂😂

Akon is cool, talented and humble. I had the pleasure of meeting him in the Dominican Republic in the late 2000s.

@@mr.loud0079 💪🏻
Man I really appreciate AKON! Such a mastermind of action. I have to visit Akon City in Senegal Africa💯🙏💯🙏💯
Facts!!!
I always respected Akon but I realize now I need to be STUDYING this Man. Bro is GOATED.
When Akons locked up song was poppin I had it as my ring tone, we'll one night I was getting arrested for some aggravated crimes and as the cops had me against the car cuffing me my phone started ringing and them cops thought that shit was real funny !!! And it kinda was🤣
I am an African and Akon is right. My paps had 5wives and we lived happily. We have our unique way of surviving.
Yeah while you have your 5 wives and unique way of surviving every other culture is bleeding Africa while dry so you enjoy your 5 wives
The things he is doin need more coverage he is changing not bitching not blaming he got money when back to his land and help built it …if all this sports/entertainment do it for there own community things would be different..
Akon is living legend!!!!!
Sammy A. That's what I said. Lets talk about him. under rated. Instead "ye" is getting the coverage. Awesome comment Mr. you said it perfectly in your comment/ statement above. I love the fact that , just like you mentioned you don't here any complaining, blaming , racial comments. He's all about just DOING IT!
Great interview 💯💯💯💯 This guy is a Icon on the low
On the high! He's already a music icon, but doing what he is doing in Africa will make him an a massive icon.
Demetrius Waters Under rated, I agree. The substance he's bringing to his country is unbelievable. Lets talk about his brilliance and creativeness instead of focusing on "ye" I like Ye as well and i understand him where a lot of people don't. The arrogance is making him loose. Let's talk about the positive😊 Akon is contributing. Awesome man, beautiful character, intelligent. A genius in his own right. What celebrity sincerely c0ntrubutes and takes care of where they come from. it's important we remember where we came from ( humble and grateful ) he is 🙂
@djvlad I’m 27 an I’ve been watching your interviews since I was 16 an by far this is the most informative and productive by far. So much hidden gems for the black community young old an I don’t know you but I appreciate you for this one . Much respect.
🤣
Awesome conversation! Big respect to Akon and DJ Vlad!
I'm willing to bet that Akon is a billionaire and is just keeping it quiet.
2mi23ke3 I believe it to . He is very Humble.
He’s already pretty much confirmed he is, playing 1 billion deals with China , using that money for Akon City and then also paying back the Chinese their loan back, to now being offered 5 billion deals with the Chinese , he’s on a much bigger level than your ‘Forbes list’ this guy makes REAL money 😅
How is it humble to buy and build a whole ass city and have enough to circulate you own currency
@@taycraft1722do you see him everywhere talking about his city? I don’t
Yeah this guy is very humble and he loves privacy
Akon’s hair count is Phenomenal 🥂
SO PROUD OF YOU AKON. You PROVED THAT IT IS POSSIBLE. TEARS NEARLY FELL OFF MY EYES WHEN I GOOGLED AKONCITY.
MJ is in the song that’s huge.. excellent to have a song with the king man 😎.. I love Micheal Jackson and respect him ❤
Loved this interview!
I love how Akon not letting Vlad cross him up on nothing.
You know why i like akon ? Cause he actually cares about his people, his talk is not cheap.

I’m surprised Vlad mention that rumor about China😂😂
Vlad says, “there’s a lot of misconceptions about Africa.” Vlad also says, literally a few minutes before, “the older wife can’t be in a hut.”
Ayeee random full interview? I don’t remember seeing the clips ehh who cares Good looking out Vlad
I love akon
Akon just be getting money. Nothing but respect

Can’t believe they mentioned “The War in Russian” line.
Alright Vlad, you getting on my nerves wit all that too hard laughing. Shit ain't THAT funny. Chill...
Yes Akon, "We need to create our own system". We did it before and we can do it again.
Love Akon
10:00 Akon literally has to say that he made the $1 billion back three times before Vlad understood.
С детства читал его имя как Акон
Akon has the most wholesome laugh
Akon spitting game!!!!!!

Mike was super nice to children because he never had a childhood growing up. If you do your research on this it makes sense.

Brruuuhhhh 27:36 VLAD SILLY AS HELL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yoooo I've NEVER imagined WhiteLivesMatter to not only be a punchline, BE FUNNY 😆😆😆😆😆 thanks Vlad. I'm DEAD 💀💀💀😂😂😂
Seeing that what Akon's parents produced in him, with the way his dad went about grooming his mom... Man, Americans really need to get over their egos.
Lmao akon didn’t want to ruin that China - akon relationship when Vlad was exposing China
AKON A GOAT
Vlad you sound like you're struggling to breathe.
❤❤❤ man i loved every min of this!!!! Great interview!!!!! I’m a truck driver and Vlad is one of my go to people so this was much worth it, there has been more, for instance Boosie and T to the fucking K lol. This is just the first post I ever made on you tube, to let someone know I actually appreciate their work but just know Vlad and his team really do their thing!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉 I salute 🫡 🫡 🫡 that
You jus had to bring that back up... vlad im disappointed
Hit home when he told vlad basically why are u here if ur not family based....
Love Muslim culture ❤️
Akon the 🐐! Protect this man by any means necessary. ✊🏿💯
Where did Akon get all of this money from??
Royalties plus he writes/wrote music for artists
Exactly Vlad it comes from the stephen king movie sleepwalkers
Akoin not affected by the market ?? Its literally down 83% this year
I don’t know if China did the most overall, but the most positive I’m sure 😂😂
They are colonizing Africa through debt. Akon may be able to pay it back but most African governments can't because they aren't borrowing a few billion, it's hundreds of billions. It's like saying former slave masters were doing some positive shit when they had to free the slaves and started the sharecrop trap and were basically able to keep they slaves
@@KhanhPham-zq9sf maybe it’s bad to compare modern times to the colonial period. There is one obvious difference, I don’t believe Chinese companies are forcing their way into African countries right? Regardless of any extreme contract being signed. Didn’t Europeans just take advantage of warring regions and dividing up the real estate? Are you Chinese are doing something comparable to that? It’s nothing like saying “former slave masters were doing positive shit” when removing emotion and looking at it objectively. Putting themselves in what you are saying is a potential financial crisis is that nation’s choice.
@@KatoOnTheTrack1 Chinese companies are forcing their way into Africa. They are using influence gained from billions of dollars in dept to control African laws. They have started building military bases across Africa. They are quite literally doing what Europeans did to the rest of the world. How is that a positive? Why shouldn't we compare modern times to colonial period when right now, China is literally colonizing Africa the same way the Europeans did? The Chinese literally whip african workers when they don't work fast enough....there is already tens of thousands of rape cases. The only real difference is, the chinese haven't shot people, YET, but building and garrisoning bases in Africa means that isn't very far away from happening. On the whole choosing financial crisis is a nation's choice, it is no different than saying it was a slave's choice to be a slave since they could have escaped or committed suicide. Lastly, a corrupt leader taking chinese bribes, is not making a choice for the nation, he is making a choice for himself and the nation must suffer the consequences. The african people have no say in whether they get colonized or not, it is the rich in power who do
Y’all check this man’s plans, if anything happens to him we know WHY
Akon is a special person.
He said people are still finding Themselves... I don't know who you're talking about. But that applies worldwide not just america
Akon: ive turned down $100M
Vlad: weeeeell, i was....(offered a gazillion for vladtv)
