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 UKpostsrs 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.

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 🙂

Damn if I didn't knw any better Id say it rlly sounds like Akon City is gana b a place where like ppl frm different places come 2 buy they nice luxury vacation cribs lol. Like it will b more of a vacation spot for foreign ppl tht have a bit of money 2 spend & not so much for like local or native Senegalese ppl 2 actually live & all tht. Obviously I have no idea lol but the way just described it wit the condominiums being built & the Akon Towers & all tht lol doesn't sound like a place where like poverty line ppl could actually live like Akon has made it seem while he has promoted the city & talked abt & it & all tht lol. But who knws til he actually builds the mfer😆.
