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🤍
One of the best artists ever. The things he’s doing for Africa are remarkable.
Akon thank you for standing up for Nigerian music we will never forget all you did
Made in Africa
Akon is from Senegal
Akon is a standup guy, a pure soul who is eager to do good, incredibly talented and a visionary. Legend ✊🏾
It's refreshing to hear people of substance talk. I can listen to this conversation all day. Epic!
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. ✌️
I can listen to Akon all day. Such an impactful man in the business industry, people don't even know
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 🇳🇬❤️
Raise 🧢for Akon he's truly an African and the amount of knowledge he has on African music is unbelievable... I love Akon.
Nigerians love you ❤ the world to Africa❤

🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬💖💖💖💖💖🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
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
Akon is my Legend and I love the way he spoke about African Artist.
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 is highly knowledgeable about the Nigerian Music industry. His analysis on Davido, Wizkid and Burna is on point
Nigeria all the way
and he represents Senegal to the fullest!
I love his duets with MJ and Nippy. He brought out their sounds that we are used to.
I can tell they felt comfortable with him.
Always enjoyed Akon.
THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL INTERVIEW.....PROUD OF MY BLACKNESS🙏💪..Thank you uncle Sway..
Who came her because of wizkid
He is a living legend
I did not know Akon was so Smart and so influent in Music. That is amazing!!!
It’s so cool to hear these stories because back then we never new anything
Word
Mehn!!! This interview was FIRE!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 Bless up to you Akon for such an interesting time! Take a bow bro. You deserve to smell your flowers now!!
Akon is a G. Much respect to you bro. Love his music. His album Trouble was one of the first albums I ever purchased for myself. Loved every track.
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!
God, what would i do just to meet him somewhere.. You can be soo happy about it, its like a win in the lotto 🍀🙏

One of the best interviews ever
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
I love you so much Akon🥺
I miss Akon's music and presence. Glad to hear he's got new music out. Looking forward to the purchase.
Great interview, Sway! Big ups Akon 💪🏽💪🏽
This is a high caliber episode. Shout out to Sway Universe all the way from South Africa. 💯
Akon is true Legend and i love how's representing Africa. Much love brother 🖤
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.
Oga no one asked you to explain.
Goddamn all that for what?
@@s.o7003 You are rude
@@s.o7003 and nobody asked you to dismiss what he said, which is full of good info
@@akonsama4645 your comment for what? Not everyone knows this good info

Snoop and Akon should get a lifetime award at the Grammys they put in hella work and deserve. If Lil Wayne got it they should too

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.
I wish it was longer ❤
That Plies story is wild. I always wondered why that same beat was out there simultaneously..
Also story of his song smack that with eminem was funny even though it wasn't mentioned.
What à great speaker
I always like Akon's interviews
Akon is a legend
Keep pushing 💪🌹 Akon
AKON THE ICON ❤️
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
Mike liked the slim fit women, ok okay 😭😂🤣
THIS INTERVIEW IS MORE THAN JUST MUSIC.
This was very resourceful,
Thank you for this one 💯🙏🏽
Intellectual conversation,Akon did alot 💚💚🦅🥂
As a Togolese 🇹🇬 most of my English comes from his songs. I love Akon. #Konvictmusic.
