I loved hearing this story.
Been Rocking with Kon since Upfront Ent! He's official! Great Interview!
He's a king now. Great staff watching Akon after a while. As an African child I grew up idolizing him. I Sam glad I did. Today I'm a better person. The best part is finding out he was an outstanding businessman what I was and still work towards. Thanks again guy.
This dude is smart. This why he making big moves.
I knew Akon was the real deal, when i heared him promoting Africa 1st, and telling yall, Africa is calling you home, money to be made, and you get to help your ppl
Akon was kicking some real business talk 100
Great convo
I fell out at @11:46 🤣😂

38:40 - 39:38 Perfect analogy. Black ppl judge each other & put each other down. The whites are more united which's why they keep us down
Great interview. A whole lot of Gems in this one.

I grow an inch taller whenever I listen to Akon dropping gems

Avon preaching 🔥
Nice one! Akon is a smart dude.
Akon, you are not ugly. No. Like the man said at the end, "You are Special"
Akon is a legend. He made a lot of people rich and famous like T-Pain, Lady Gaga, Kardinal Offishall, Kat DeLuna, Red Cafe, Dolla, and Verse Simmonds
Akon dropping gems
Dammm I loved this show! PIERRE you're funny asf and ask the right questions... pls more dope guest
Good interview. One observation, usually Pierre you are great at getting your guests to provide context for something they're saying. For example, I have seen several interviews where one of your guests will say something like, "Yeah, I went with Pam. Pam is my ride or die. I'm always with Pam." Most likely, you're audience is thinking, "Who tf is Pam?" And, Pierre is great at asking the question, getting the guest to provide context for WHO "Pam" is?
Similarly, I like that Pierre usually, (or in the 6 or 7 podcasts that I've seen) asks follow up questions. I do not watch 'surface' or superficial interviews, where the guest is really there (being interviewed) "solely" to promote some project (business, movie, music, whatever). I do wish you had gone a little more in-depth with Akon. For example, "Akon, what was your Senagalese father saying to you, after he found out you were in jail?" (especially since his father seemed like a, "no nonsense" type of guy. Another example is when Akon said, when he was in jail, he had, 'a 10 year goal of getting to work with Michael Jackson.' You were running low on time, and you both only kinda' glossed over it. Yeah, it just so happened that MJ and Akon had the same attorney, so they met that way. My question would have been, "Being that this was #1 of your goals, exactly what was your plan to get to work with him, had it not been just the sheer coincidence of sharing the same attorney?"
Akon, being the strategic-thinker that he is, I'd have been curious as to, "HOW" he was going to make that goal happen?
Overall good interview, and I do find Pierre to be very entertaining.
Thanks Akon ,we black folks love you
Pierre is crazy😧
That's what it's all about is helping each other.
Very good 😊
Take A Bow Mr.Pierre.....You've Arrived!
Mane I no I ain’t the only to notice that piece huh bruh?
I'm so glad Kon kept it real on the race and religion BS. God damn black community is entirely too focused on race. Love who you love. Marry who you love. Procreate with WHO TF YOU LOVE!!!
Akon smart as hell....salute!
Pierre finally made me laugh
Akon ✌🏾2021
28:21 One of the smartest thing’s I’ve heard in a while
I been thought of that
@@swanny155 Congratulations cool guy
No shit! Akon does dive in to crowds during concert. I was there in Fields in Copenhagen, Denmark, year 2008. Dude jumped and got his T-shirt ripped apart by ppl, and ppl were fighting for parts of the T-shirt, Popo came as well. What a night as I am recalling it right now.
Dayum Akon was truly kicking knowledge. If us Blacks would just stick together and come together in unity, my gawd we would be a force to be reckoned with….
Why Akon look like he got the hair painted on him 😂😂
Akon is a historian. He reminds me of myself. I'm into all kinds of entrepreneurial shit also! Just not on his level. Wishing to be there off my hard work and good decisions!
that is the think, if you not a celebrity, getting those contact is almost impossible.
29:45 I always think about why they even teach us as kids about blacks being slaves. That’s so fucked up. It creates so much tension in people from an early age
So funny!
Interview Edi mean from outlaws or Napoleon Mutah Beale
#500...........get it.
Big artist and people be on 85 south show but it’s because of how cool the host is
Then to respect me get over there. I’m not a cool host. Now if you come back you’re lamer than me. So this is our last interaction
i do the same thing half a tank i fill up
How can I get one of those Panic Room T-Shirts?
They will go back on sale soon. Went fast
34:00 thats what young dolph was tryna do
South Africa is real Africa!! It's a black man's country, that's what the anti-apartheid revolution was about, and that's what the anti- neo-colonial movents are currently all about! There is more to S. Africa than Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Pierre, I love the satin tie and i I will admit i am not that light but because I am o chocolate black which to me is beautiful they don't like me i am not trying to say that it is all about color but sometimes it was about my personality sometimes it was i did not look like one another we are still black we need to stick together if your helping people out Pierre get on my podcast I would like to have you sprinkle me I never post on pages but I am asking you to help us out but if not I rock with this show because you bring people on that to have meaningful conversations. We do not see it as real Afrika because they are colonizers just like America. **Black is beautiful and all colors that God has made.
Ask Akon about his father and Don Pullen touring around the world for 15 years, More Thiam 🧐
that 911 call when he said his car was stolen was hilarious cuz i thought mans was a gangsta
"South Africa aint the real Africa" lol
Lol had me laughin too.
36:30 - 36:42 facts. We want the discount from each other but not the white man.
Akon got a new hairline
it s not because a prison is run by black people that inmate will be treated better, that is ridiculous, we need invest in programs that create positive opportunities for our communities.
Ummm but Akon is getting loans for his infrastructure from China 👀🗣 which is supporting modern day colonialism. So when Akon said “it’s just buisness” he was talking about himself while also being a hypocrite 😸
stop complaining
Where did you expect him to get the money from?!The Great U.S of Assholes?
Facts! He’s a pawn. They know that black people listen to entertainers before they listen to reputable scientists and economists.
@@urbanflavorz stop being so simple
So wouldn't it be modern day colonialism if he got his loan from the US or UK? And why that word when every businessman gets a loan from someone else to get their business going? Donald Trump, Mike Bloomberg etc got & get loans for their businesses, so what's the difference?
Akon has alot of good points, but he's wrong about 1 thing, "African American" children do need to learn about our history, good bad and indifferent.....I like Akon alot, from his music to his philanthropy to his work in Africa. On the other hand even though Akon was born in America, his parents aren't from America. African American history is not his history, so it makes sense why a part of him feels the way he does. His DNA does not have the same mental trauma and physical ailments passed on by our parents, grandparents, great grandparents etc. I do agree, we don't need to use slavery as a crutch, but generational trauma caused by Slavery and Jim Crowe is a "thing".
DNA passing down mental trauma I’ve heard it all 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm pretty sure Africans people also know struggle
We know struggle, cuz a lot of those salves was a family to us!
I don't agree with Akon's outlook on slavery
Deuteronomy 28: 1-68........we will always be at the bottom until our King comes.....we didn't keep our God's laws........btw.......blacks are not African.....they're Israelites
Yeah
Pierre, be quiet and let Akon talk. The man is highly intelligent, and experienced. Pierre is a speed bump and distraction to the knowledge Akon is dropping.
I love Akon but it appears his mind has been infiltrated by Kevin Samuels cult. Don't let the temptation of beautiful women be your demise. Learn to adore the inside of a woman instead of the physical beauty so much. There are so much more to a woman than her physical attributes. Inner attributes are more important than the physical.
Pimping 101
This interviewer is on mad coke man, i cant even relax watchin it 🤣
😂😂to a guy who doesn’t even smoke or drink. But I bypassed all that and went for the Coke-iena. 😂
Africa is a continent not a country. Pierre may not know better but I know Akon does.
Geography class on line. Yes!!
Why does it sound like Akon lying?
About what? I don't really know his story, so just asking.
because your a liar your self
Great interview, just a thought Akon is African, the blood of slaves does not run in his veins. Unless his children have mother’s who are descendants of enslaved people why teach them black history.
#welldeserved It was written that these two meet. I look forward to experiencing why.
finally found something excellent ...homerun funny! pierre=new1
Anwan Glover would be a great interview for you to do our own dc native @comicpierre
