A number of people have been sending me a video of rapper Akon having simulated sex with an underage girl on-stage at a Caribbean “concert.” And others are suddenly up in arms about his music.
While a number of other sites have posted the very graphic and disgusting video, I’m not because it’s in extremely poor taste. If you must see it–and you like minstrel shows mixed with child porn and molestation.
But I wonder why everyone is suddenly up in arms about Akon. Like, where were they for the last several years as Akon was repeatedly hitting the top of the charts. For the fourth straight week, Akon tops the national radio airplay chart, according to Nielsen BDS, Arbitron, and “Radio & Records.”
But it’s not the first time. He’s repeatedly achieved these heights or close to them for the last few years.
I’ve been following his career because not only is he disgusting, but he’s a Muslim who bragged he had three wives on a New York radio station, and then his record company, Universal, made him shut up about it.
Although Akon isn’t just any Muslim, like many Muslims born here, he’s an anchor baby Muslim. His father is a Muslim from Senegal–whom he bragged also practiced polygamy–made sure Akon was born here in the States to get him U.S. citizenship. But he was not raised here with American values. Akon–whose full name is Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam–was raised in Senegal as a Muslim with Muslim “values.”
Akon is a convicted felon, who spent five years in prison for armed robbery, distribution of illegal drugs, and auto theft. He was also involved in a drive-by shooting. And not only that he’s an ex-con, he’s proud of it, with a hit album entitled “Konvicted,” a hit single, “Locked Up,” and two companies, Konvict Muzik and Kon Live Distribution. Another hit single, “Smack That”–well, you can imagine what it’s about: rough, graphic sex.
And not to forget Islam, he also has raps praising his chosen religion as well, amidst the vile other stuff on his CDs.
The biggest outrage about Akon is not that he’s openly pushed and accepted by the music industry and Black–and WHITE–America, but that he was recently featured on FOX’s top-rated “American Idol,” doing a “duet”–if you can call it that–with singer Gwen Stefani.
When I saw Akon on “Idol,” I could hardly believe my eyes.
“American Idol” is watched by a lot of young, impressionable kids. It’s marketed as a wholesome show, which has kicked off a number of contestants who’ve been involved in far more minor crimes than Akon and even a woman who was once in lingerie online.
So why would “American Idol” give the floor and exposure to Akon and pimp him on America’s kids.
Only the people at FOX know for sure. But they and “Idol” producers ought to be ashamed.
AKON - SENEGAL
[INTRO: Akon Talking]
Yo. In case you ain't know, I go by the name of Akon...and I'm from (Africa! Africa!)
Home of the Goree Islands - I'm from Senegal, West-side (Africa! Africa!)
So I'ma share with you where I'm from and how I was comin' up (Africa! Africa!)
[Verse 1]
So what you know about the struggles that my people went through so you can live the way you live now
So what you know about seeing that brand new mother givin away her newborn child
So what you know about Mr.Amadou diallo, a Senegalese, cops shot down
So what you know about how people love to perceive us when we come into a brand new town
So what you know about the Goree Island, where all the slaves were shipped from
So what you know about being born in America to avoid immigration
[Chorus]
Still from the ghetto ooohh of Senegal (Africa!Africa!)
Comin' from the ghetto ooohh of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
Comin' from the ghetto ooohh of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
Yes, I'm comin' from the ghetto ooohh of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
[Verse 2]
So what you know about Thienboudienne,Yassa, Tcherey and Maafey, my favourite foods
So what you know about niggas throwin rocks, bustin' shots at the military invadin my hood
So what you know about kids with automatic machines waiting for the war to get on that side
So what you know about how God comes first in our lives, everything that we do is for Allah
So what you know about that Holy place called Touba where Prophets were born
So what you know about comin here, gettin money and investing it back home
[Chorus]
Right in the ghetto oooo of Senagal (Africa! Africa!)
Give it to the ghetto oooo of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
Take it to the ghetto oooo of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
Send it right to the ghetto ooo of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
[OUTRO: Akon Talking]
Now see that's just a little piece of how it is (Africa! Africa!)
See, but we can come together and make it 'lot better back home (Af-ree-caa! Africa!)
So don't complain about how they treating you here, take your millions of dollars there, back to (Africa! Africa!)
We own that land, we own those diamonds, (Africa! Africa!)
We kings man, we dont take orders, we give em.
Think about it.
