Akon Dragged Online For Talking Greasy About Black American Rappers, ‘For Us, It Comes Natural’

Akon was served a righteous dragging after shading Black American rappers during an interview on The Zeze Millz Show.

On December 21, the St. Louis-born rapper of Senegalese descent, who’s made a mint on the same culture he talked sh*t about, sat with Zeze Millz to chop it up about his success. The “Lonely” rapper said plainly that African entertainers had a leg up on Black American rappers because they were naturally better entertainers, as British-born Zeze cosigned the bullsh*t. 

The segment that had folks on social media in a frenzy was when Akon, 49, stated, “We’re a little different when it comes to stage presence. They’re wobbling, pants hanging half down, bored as hell, half asleep ‘cause they high as hell on stage. But [in] Africa, we wake up in the morning, like, look at these YouTube clips of all these kids from Uganda. Like these kids are performers. So for us, it comes natural.”

The remark didn’t go over well with Black Americans, or other diasporans, including Africans, raised in the United States.

Black Twitter dragged the Senegalese-American entertainer.

Afro Elite on Twitter reminded Akon that he was once a “wobbling, pants hanging half down” face a** emcee.

The “Locked Up” singer’s assertion of Black American entertainers is hella rich, considering the Senegalese pillar of righteousness was once a thugged-out drug dealer and a thief. The 49-year-old now-mogul wasn’t even a good student, having been expelled for breaking the rules in school.

Akon’s best bet would be to keep the culture’s name who raised him–out of his surly, ungrateful mouth.
