--------
In the latest clip, Akon responded to grossing tens of millions during the latter half of the 2000s. On making the Forbes list multiple times, Akon said he never reported his earnings to the publication and preferred to stay under the $15 million range. When asked why he wanted to stay under that threshold, he replied that it's easier to manage when dealing with the government.
Akon also addressed working on Dr. Dre's Detox and being part of the single, "Kush." Akon called it an honor to work with Dre and Snoop Dogg together, but credits the album's delay on Dre being a perfectionist. Akon also gives his thoughts on Dr. Dre's Compton album and signing transgender entrepreneur, Jeffree Star.
Akon is literally the definition of no morals and no integrity
All about a dollar.
"aint too much to put a strain on me thats the reason why i had to put the blame on me"
right loll.. im a lil bit disapointed but hey if that make him rich at least he win our opinion wont pay his bills
Just because he don’t have your morals or your integrity, doesn’t mean he doesn’t have it.
Hes building up africa and helping people
He is DEFINITELY ALL ABOUT MONEY AND NOTHING ELSE..
Robert Jr truth
He signed lady Gaga for fucc sake what do you think lol
Melo#5 And? She’s a fuckin superstar. Don’t lie, you jammed out to her music before 😂
He's sold out
He has the same mindset that African Chiefs had, when selling their own people into slavery for profit. It was all business to them too - morals & integrity aside.
He signed Lord Voldemort.
😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Bruh I’m dead 😂😂😂
💀💀💀🤣
😂😂
Muggles don’t make no money
Akon don’t care bout no culture. He just care about the money
That culture shit ova wit lol
No rapper really cares about the "culture" thats just a cool buzz word industry execs come up with .
A lot of the rappers in the industry got connects inside it that you would never realize
Nobody does!
Ummm..ok🙄
As he should this culture shit really played out
Akon is literally the meaning of “get the bag” hustle mentality
yeah I mean who would do business with the human rights violating Chinese other than Akon and now the Chinese are accused of being racist in Africa due to the spread of their influence. Akon did the deal to enslave his people
@@BangBangBang. you are the dumbest people I have ever seen do you know China have the 2nd biggest economy right America don't like china but they still do business read more books before you talk
@@BangBangBang. Well who else does he do a deal with that has the resources to get the job done? Europe? The United States? At the very least the Chinese gave the money and completed the projects that where proposed. YOU definitely can't do anything.
@@themostsecretscience6409 💯💯💯 this is why most black people don't help out because of dumb people who gonna say something just because they hate him
@@BangBangBang. Your crab ass would do business wit China in a minute if it meant a million in your bank account.
Damn, he signed Jeffree star and worked wit sixnine 😭 this boy don’t have no morals
Somebody gotta pay for the street lights in africa
No one cares it's all about the check nigga
Definitely looking forward to the next Akon interview with VladTV where he discusses doing a song with Dick Cheney and signing Jussie Smollett
LOL
With Jeffree Star yes. Tekashi no. Jefree is a racist, that’s inexcusable regardless of you being his boss or not. Tekashi is street rules those have nothing to do with morals. But all that money makes off these people is going straight to Africa.
Loooooool I wasn't even aware of this TF. Also Jeffree isn't transgender, he just wears wigs and nails
Yeah that threw me. He’s just another racist white man
Lofty. U aren't serious are you thts an oxymoron lmbo "
@@faidajama4015 that wears wigs and nails 😂😂 They all do it behind closed doors.
Hazel Downs how tf is that an oxymoron lmao
@@hazeldowns1553 this isn't an Oxymoron and they are right... Jeffree Star is just a gay man that does makeup and wears his hair long, but he is fully aware that he is a man and is claiming to be a woman and doesnt want to be... He is just a gay man and that's what he is into 🤷🏾♂️...
If Jeffrey Dahmer & J Edgar Hoover was alive, he'll sign them
😩😂😂💪🏽💪🏽
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Classic
😆 🤣 😂
Akon: “Jeffrey Killing em”
Yeah I bet he is
Jeffery Star isn’t transgender
Joy'sGlammWorld lol
Close enough to me
outside Tha box wtf is he then
More Women should speak out about these things
@@coppermanarrowz1001 Nah he's legitamently not transgender. He's a gay drag queen. He hasn't cut anything off.
I liked Akon before I started to learn about him. He should have kept the mystery. He'd sale his mother's kidney for money. Anything for money
because he signed a gay guy who dresses like a girl? lmao shut the fuck up, i never understood why niggas care so much. I like girls, ima fuck girls but if someone wanna fuck guys who cares aint my problem.
Pennywise The Dancing Clown Facts and people fr swearing up and down that Akon is the only label owner looking for money lol
Lol
@@pennywisethedancingclown775 nah dumbass hes building up africa for the chinese . Look it up the chinese is the one supplying the money for him
Ivan itrr Armas factd
This is the final straw bro. Dude definitely sold his soul!
No such thing. He just doesn’t care about his social standing within his business ventures because money overrules his social rep in his mind.
Ezee Lyfe sad.
LOL, Don't all the boys do that, sooner or later.
Thats the definition of selling your soul.
Real shit. I was about to say. So akon is responsible for all of this bullshit. Just with lady gaga and Jeffrey star alone.
Akon will work with anyone who can make him some money.
Even ICP?
Akon only cares about 1 thing and that’s making money by any means necessary. No morals at least when it comes to the music business
I have to say my heart sank now that I've found out that a black man is behind that foul GHOUL, Jeffree Starr. Especially after the crap he's said about black women and the way he treated Jackie Aina.
Simmee Rolston I don’t think he cares about black women, he just care about money. Jeffrey making 50 mil a year and he gets a cut cause he put him on
@XOxo XOxo I realise that he may have signed him a few years ago as an unknown and before the big brands came knocking but this interview is recent and AKON is talking about signing him as though it's something to be proud of. As an influencer for all kinds of demographical groups, how has that vampire evolved into the same thing that his kind (LGBTQ) are always marching against in society? Let alone the outrageous stuff he's said about black women.
@XOxo XOxo Well if we ordinary folk can find out I'm sure someone with his money and connections is well aware of what that individual has said over the years. Now AKON has all that wealth and influence why is he not signing up a black small-time CZcamsr and working to bring them to the same earning power as JS?
Vlad is the IRS
yeah he aint comin for your broke ass dont worry
NΛVΛZ who said i was broke tho
NΛVΛZ I prolly make more than both your parents combined
The bar is too high for Detox to ever be good enough for Dre or the fans.
Right it’s going to be a disappointment no matter what
Dre is gonna make a Chronic 2021. I’m calling it. 20 year anniversary of Chronic 2001 and with the divorce, it’s gonna make him turn toward his work
Chronic 2001 was nthn to write home about
Lamonte Ganaway Lol 😂 you clearly don’t know the process of making music. Artists dream about having an album as well produced and classic like 2001. Just cause you don’t think it’s good doesn’t mean it’s not another classic under Dre’s belt
@@abelcastro4813 "process of making music" no im knot ric rubin or quincy Jones but eye kno what sounds good. Literally no one eye kno has brought up that album since 01'. Did enjoy "forgot about Dre." Classic tho? I'll pass.
Jeffree isn’t trans tho. I think Vlad mixed him up with Sydney Star (the one who lied on Chingy).
Rm. Sure 👍 he not like my pops thou . Maybe he dresses like these ppls fam so they think he's not but he is sorroly
So Akon the one that's responsible for that thing being famous huh??
Lmaooo
Yup back in like 08/09 crazy thing was he didn’t look like what he does now lol he looked more normal 😂🤣😂
You are all wrong they already had quite a bit of a following way before Akon jumped on to signing him. In fact the record they were going to do together never came out because of akons scandal with a minor twerking on him.
@@staytuned8736 dude it was a joke lol
Nope Jeff is self made
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Akon that was selling parts of Africa to China 🤦🏾♀️
Facts that is where he got his credit line from 🤷🏻♂️China prolly funding his whole city
Isaiah Silva wouldn’t be surprised ‼️
even if he does it be only his country senegal
Them african president don’t play about their countries in Africa
Akon aint got that much power
Big Souja Boy I really hope he dosnt cuz all he see is 🤑
Nah sis...u right and I dont even know nothing bout that. But he reminds me of one of these fake a*? Politicians
Akon only sees green. 69 and Jeffrey star are both controversial figures.
Ooohhh so we should've known Akon lacked integrity for AWHILE
yep, just like he got that loan from China
Star is not Transgender
Glad exposing himself. He said Sidney Starr, ain’t nobody talking about Sidney Glad 😂😂😂😂
U funny asF💀💀
I caught that too 🤣🤣🤣
Jeffree star isn’t trans 🏳️⚧️ wtf… do your homework vlad
VLAD was foaming at the mouth waiting to drop this.
He did us all a favor actually.
As we get older we seeing where Akon stands
Akon has brought a lot of fckery into the game.
he’s also done a lot of good things for the game. gotta take the good with the bad.
@@yeliabdoowyllohx the only good is for himself.
@@yeliabdoowyllohx nah
juggernautblue elaborate my brother
Why Vlad moved the thumbnail on him so close for this topic?🤔
🤣🤣🤣
akon sees dollar signs not snitches and transgenders
Akon has zero integrity and has no honor amongst man
What you mean. He’s working on Africa.
I agreed. And he's doing nothing for Africa do some real research, and fact checking.
philip ocharo bro funny you said that. I’m from Houston.
Jett Turbo what are you doing for it?
Oscar Ortiz I can prove it I just see it
Akon would sign a turtle if it would make him money
You’d be stupid not to. Black CEO of a bag of chips 😂
TopShotta Will Nah you kno u can make money and have integrity
Who wouldn't?
Akon would sign a canibalistic serial killer if it will make him money. Dude got no morals at all.
bonchoseify Akon would sign a kkk member he don’t give af bruh
At the end he slipped and said Sydney star. He probably in their DMS lol
since when is Jeffre star transgender y’all get on here and say ANYTHING
@KnowledgeTree fax its sad 😥
Cant wait for bootsy to speak on this
He's not transgender, Jeffree identifies as a man. Plus don't forget Akon has Lady Gaga under his belt. Instant wealth.
had lady gaga, bro. dude has an eye for talent
The correct term should've been androgynous
Taylor. Identifies as a man 👨 Wooooow. In lipstick and panties with a bf ? Unbelievable . So if he said he was Jesus I guess ud understand huh lmbo .
Vlad, Jeffree isn’t trans. Please don’t confuse your fans
Jeffree doesn't mind being called a woman or man , he/she is gender fluid.
Molly sooooo hes straight huh . ? Does his bf know yet lmbo
@@sgi4241 yeah. Its sad
Right he's not lol
@@bunnykandi69 and I take it that I've seen its privates?? B cus u talk like ur 100 percent sure ??
98% of this video about Dre
Vlad: Akon signing jefferey star
Vlad knows damn well what he's doing lmfao
tim Facts, Akon even says Sydney Star but went ahead and put Jeffree’s name instead knowin damn well he ain’t transgender lol
Vlads Title writer has been WILD AF LATELY jheeeeeze 😂 😂 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 😭
Did vlad just say Sidney Star
LOL That's what I was thinking
Ya cuz he clearly don't know who the fuck he talking about 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jeffree Star is not trans fyi
Wow he sounds so impressed. Dude is the worst kind of racist...the kind that has an explanation for everything racist thing that they do and say and then plays the victim. He has token black friends and models in his campaign thinking we the people are stupid. I was a JS supporter for a while but at some point you have to stop and really see people for who they are
Aye Vlad u nees to change your tile. I know u see him wear wigs and make up be he is not transgender. A little google search would have told u this before u posted this title for this video.
🤦🏾 Damn 2020 I can't take to much more 🤣🤣
I remember seeing Jeffree Star back in the Myspace days, all the "scene kids" loved that song "Fer Sure baby, Fer Sure not" lmao 😂
Kush was a pretty dope track, but when Dre and Em dropped "I Need a Doctor" I thought for sure Dre was back and Detox was going to be AOTY, that track had an amazing sound to it
Vlad said Sidney star.. lol
Akon money doesnt mean forget about morals. Smh
First of all, Jeffree is NOT transgender, and second, he makes 150 millions per year, he said it in one video.
Akon is full of surprises I forget his catalogue sometimes working with Michael Jackson, Dr Dre + all his business's. Akon is a good investor
So, according to the wise old heads in the comments here, Akon should not have worked with Lady Gaga because she is bisexual, and Jeffree Starr because he is gay? By working with them, we mean producing pop music, nothing beyond that. Instead, Akon should have passed on acts that literally made him tens of millions of dollars due to some moral code?
If my plans was to develop a whole continent then I’d also sign/work with anyone to get that bag
He's not developing anything except a penchant for going into business with anyone who can help him stack the Benjamins. AKON is a prime example of the type of individual that is hanging with millionaires and billionaires and wants to have a permanent seat at their tables having come from nothing. He is the 'face' of African development only because it suits their nefarious purposes. They are allowing him to have a certain leeway because he's brokering the deals that are selling the African continent and it's land and resources to the highest-bidder (China) one country at a time. Don't get it twisted.
@@simmeerolston6210 idiot
@@a.d.64 Aww did I hurt your widdle feelings?
I may be wrong because I don’t know much about him but I’m pretty sure Jeffree is just a gay dude that likes to wear women’s stuff never heard anything about him wanting to be a woman. I don’t care but it just shows that Vlad does very little research on the people he speaks about which is not a good look for an interviewer.
Don’t even know what to say 😂🤣
Dr. Dre should drop Detox out of nowhere with no promo.
Or another album, whatever its name will be
I used to like Akon, until how found out he just cares about money.
Sure u do too.i realize women hate on men more than men
Og
Calm down, he entered a business deal with a guy who happens to be gay. Who cares.🤦♂️
Like Don King Said, "If you can count your money, you don't have any money."
AYO vlad slipped up and said “sidney starr” ... that nigga gay.
50mill a year?! WTF
@@hdeniro1106 🤣🤣 no amount of money worth that and I thought NBA players are rich
Hill Banx lmao
Hill Banx Orrrrrrrrrr
MAYBE
Dude was already gay???
Blake Coston He’s not an NBA player
@@hdeniro1106 I hope he's being paid a shitload for spreading them cheeks for that GHOUL. When JS throws him away after all the heat calms down I want to see what he's going to say then. He won't be able to get a job flipping burgers.
He’s ALL about money over integrity. If the Tekashi song didn’t make you stop fuckin with him then this should do it
Ain’t gonna lie expected better from Akon.
Man smh He supplied an whole city with Electric 😂😂😂
Same 🤦🏻♂️
Akoon...
Vlad counting pockets
Jefferey Star is. Specter 💀
Something about Akon, I just dont believe him.....I can read a liar, and I think he's lieing about 50m for the battyman...akon lies so much....
let's clarify something jeffree star is not a transgender he is a gay boy who likes to put on makeup that's not a trangender girl
M.m.m well judging by the outside ie. Nails hair. Lipstick perm etc . U can't come to his rescue until u know for sure he still has a penis lmbo
I liked Akon much more before I started hearing this interview 🤦🏾♂️
Jeffree isn’t transgender
"It's easier with the gov when you do UNDER $50M/yr"...."yeah and he's doing OVER $50M/yr"
This gotta be the editing, man. No way Akon this fast and slow at the same time.
15 million not 50
I wonder if vlad going to ask about Dolla
Jeffree has attacked not only the black community, but black women for years.
He even had a cosmetic line before his now successful brand called “Lipstick Nazi” where he promoted Hilter in his campaigns. He wrote blogs talking about how he plans on manipulating the whole internet as revenge for how they treated him. He succeeded with Akons help.
Really damn??
You act like he did this under Akon, it’s unfortunate he is a bad person but you add that last part in like Akon should’ve known better
D.R.M Reacts doesn’t matter when he did it. Jeffree did all this after the age of 24. He was grown. Akon should know as a business man that who you sign represents you as a company. Just like sports team drop players for DUI and domestic violence. Everyone should be held accountable.
@@NaomisDream wtf you talking about. How is that on him
I don't remember the Nazi's invading Africa and killing blacks like they killed the Jews and the Jews work with Jeffery Star too. Akon is a businessman like all others should be.
He said he got sydney star. Vlad let it slip
I wonder if Jeffrey do Akon make up. What's next akon what else Jeffrey do?
A guy dresses androgynously, news throw the word trans like it's confetti. Jeffree star is just a dude who dresses like a diva. Are drag queens transgender too in that case ? Honestly jeffree star is enough of a hot topic, you don't need to use the label trans to get clicks
Bon don't forget the bf he has and the fact that he wears the same make up my gf would lol but nah he just a regular dude in most ppls eyes lol
peace; He remind me of them Africans and Indians that other African and Indians in the Middle East talk about. No respect for themselves.
True. He takes credit for 'saving' Senegal and providing them with electricity/water but he sold out his people to the Chinese just for the coin. He's morally corrupt and has no shame about it because he's happy to sit in his mansion and have his multiple cars in the garage while he walks through the streets and the townships and sees poverty on a massive scale. If he was alive in the days of slavery he would have had plantations no doubt about it. Black people like him are not there to uplift the community only to profit off the backs of it.
@@simmeerolston6210 You said it all. I been working overseas and once foreign catts see what type of spirit you carry they will open up to you about there own people.
@@carlosrob6494 It's a sad indictment of some individuals in society - most especially those like AKON who are self-appointment 'saviours' of their people - who believe that the pursuit of the mighty dollar is all that is important.
Akon wasn't trying to deal with taxes 😂😂😂😂😂
Jeffery is a man. Sydnee Star is a she. Not a he. Be correct*
Sydnee is a man too....
Nathaniel L. Wright where is your proof?
@@myomply proof?! He was born a man. Surgery doesn’t change that.
Nathaniel L. Wright be that as it may. Surgery or not. The principal is to treat others the way that you would like to be treated. So in return. Respect, and dignity should always be applied no matter if the facts are true, or not.
Lol vlad called him sidney star lmao
Akon gets to that sack by any means...
Literally
LMAO pun intended?
He signed the Declaration of Independence 🥴
Akon signed a lot of people damn...didn't even know he signed that racist. Would be interesting to know if Akon knew if not then that's even more interesting
He fucking gotta know
Fk Justin Bieber
U think that Scamming African gives a Damn ? He stay Piping Jeff in the Bun, What you expect from A Con he a breathing Rat and is used to selling his own people out he is Currently Pumping Africa to China...Wake Up Bozo
Ok but Jeffree isn't transgender......isn't that kind of offensive and ignorant to people who are actually transgender?
Just reading the title alone brings pain to my soul. How disappointing. Akon you should know better
One may know better, and still choose not to do better.
Jeffree Star isn’t even transgender
AKON NOT HEBREW HE CLEARLY WORSHIP ALLAH ACCORDING TO THE LAST INTERVIEW_SATAN CAN CONVINCE THE BEST
He worships dollar. He got no religion but money 💰 lol.
The production on Compton was fire. It just was received well bc people didn't know the artist like that. Its hard to make a compilation work. Drop that Detox
Dr Dre is the most overrated musician of all time lmaoo
L
He a dope EP i give him that. He hasn't done anything crazy since the Chronic2001.
Akon going backwards on everything
Akon prolly like punks.. who knows. Or he just might be true Hustler
Akon is transgender y’all ain’t know?!?
Where is your evidence for that?
@@simmeerolston6210 😂😂😂
Every African is like this no wonder they are the way they Are

** don’t pls
philip ocharo well I mean I’ve got scammed by a few but ok
@@autotrimmers6353 well your an idiot for being scammed. That got nothing to do with africans
Definitely looking forward to the next Akon interview with VladTV where he discusses doing a song with Dick Cheney and signing Jussie Smollett
Akon eu t amo😍
Akon that dude who sale the fentanyl kills fiends and laughs
Damn why is everyone hating on Akon for not having a soul I can see why singing a transgender.
lol nigga fk Akon
Switch the g and n.
LN2233 tf?
LN2233 you stupid or what?
Jeffree isn’t a transgender. Guess Akon just thought he was and Vlad didn’t bother to research and correct him
Akon is a whole clown
He thinks he’s gonna build a space city in Africa - how about just helping with water and food to begin with
there's water and food in africa lol, wtf are you talking about. there are ppl in small towns and villages that need electricity though and he's bringing that to ppl.
considering thats a big feat in itself, ain't nothing wrong with dreaming bigger, did you say the same thing about Elon Musk?
Dusten Gilchrist WTF are you talking about tens of millions of people will starve to death in Africa in the next 6-12 months, how do you get hot clean pumped water if you haven’t got electricity, moron. I respect Akon for his work to date - I don’t want to see vanity projects when there’s obviously still basic needs that needs fulfilling. Yes I would criticise Elon musk if he did pointless vanity projects of course. You obviously have no idea how expensive crazy building cost and the small amount of people they benefit. Keep trying tho
@@jonscobie1 what where did you even get that information. First of all Akon is building a city in the country of Senegal not "Africa". Last time i checked Senegal doesn't have a drought or famine problem, its has a infrastructure problem, so developing a city isn't a vanity project, its at huge plus for his people and Senegal. Akon is doing far more than your average billionaire yet you feel you have the moral high ground to tell him what he should to do. You like many Americans do not care about what goes on in African countries, and what each countries need yet you think you should have a opinion. Unless you gonna help African countries yourself, Please Shut the fuck up and enjoy you privileged first world lifestyle.
theleo2nd shut the f up you thick mong. Your points don’t make sense, you have no clear argument or understanding of the topics your endanger in. Yeah I can suggest what to do. Africa as a continent which Senegal is part of has been in the 3rd world, it needs to become part of the 1st world. Developing a city makes food and water quality worse, it allows the Chinese to own the infrastructure, it allows money to be stollen and wasted along with materials. Building well, farms and renewables or any power helps them. Expensive vanity project city’s will lead to waste corruption and unfinished cities. Living conditions in cities will go down as the countryside rushes to benefit from the city being built. Do you know anything about the history of China? I said I like Akon but I highly expensive building is not appropriate.
Jeffree isn't trans
But people are starting to realize how disgusting and vile Jeffree really is, so who knows for how long will he still get support.
Lol making 50 million a year. He could be relevant for this year alone and be set for life
I'm not up on who he is. What did he do that was so disgusting? I see all the comments talking about him, but have no clue...
@@ayeoner Racism,supporting a pedophile,questionable comments about slef harm, had a page called "Lipstick N*tzi", accused a boy of predatory behaviour (with no proof),tried to ruin his boyfriend's career,rape aligations, held revenge p*rn,blackmailed people...the list goes on and on, we might never even know some things he's done.
@@neshtosi2116 oh shit! That's horrible!
