Popular singer, Akon has observed that Psquare, Wizkid and Davido are richer than most American hip-hop artistes.

He made this known in a viral video while speaking at a summit for youths.

Akon revealed that the glamorous lifestyle seen in most American hip-hop videos were actually fake, adding that such music videos which show foreign musicians living large lifestyle with Bentley is actually the opposite of reality compared to African artistes.

According to him, Wizkid, Psquare, and Davido are richer than most American rappers in reality.

Akon said: “Hip-hop in America, every rapper is rich with Gold chains, girls by the pool in big mansion but when the video is over they get on a phone and call a uber.

“But if you go to Nigeria you have Wizkid, Davido, P-square driving Bentley, Mercedes Benz they actually own those cars. That’s the difference but if we don’t translate that, they would never know.

“The images they show about Africa are so negative. It’s conditioning what we believe. Africa has a rich story too. More people died in Chicago, more school shootings in America.”

True that

Very true ,

Stale .

Coming from a star who has seen music from the o other side of the world. I think he knows what he is saying

I told some people this sometimes ago and it led to an argument

Interesting!

It is not about music alone, most things people sees in America as the best are not true in reality, American police are worst than SARS, they sees themselves like Rambo, security in American is nothing to write home about too many things wrong over there but they report that we are the bad one, we lack security, we are poor etc unfortunately we have allow that to get into our head and we are heading towards who they told us we are.

The real society we should have emulated are Japanese, Chinese, Australians, Germans, Koreans etc those are real healthy society not the fake Hollywood society we wants to copy.

Wow, so you see, all that glitters not really gold.

That means P'square is richer than P'diddy

all lies, no matter how rich as an individual is and your country is poor and messed up then you're a gonna, at least those American rappers have good health insurance, good roads, good technology and good economy

let one of those Nigerian musicians u mentioned have a serious health crises and see if they won't be flown abroad

bottom line is, no matter how rich you're in this zoo you're still damn poor

So whats the final message now?

Old smelly news

People dont know now. They think the music industry in the US is a charity organization that dishes out wealth.

That means someone (name withheld) is richer than Trump




Na joke ooo..

And all those yeye instagram lazy youth who manage to get TO THE ABROAD will come and be bad mouthing Nigeria. Thank you Akon. I love Nigeria, its a matter of time. I will see it succeed in my generation. What is happening now, is showing us that better days are ahead. Revolution will start in the North. The rate of killings, kidnapping and drugs there is so high. There elites now live in Abuja. They are lamenting and i sure sooner or latter they will start speaking up with the truth. E remain small

Very true

Yes, he is right..
Our celebrities (of Wizkid, dbanj, davido,2face,psquare status) actually have money on Nigerian soil than many american celebrities on American soil.

True true

With this assertions,I give up.

All those wey.wan.travel abroad by fire by force, hope una dey listen?

Work hard in naija, believe in yourself and don't waste your life trying to do or be something you know nothing about

Most abroad life is fake, it's a dream, it's make believe!!!!

In terms of development,you can’t even compare the so called almighty America to countries like South Korea,Japan and Singapore.

There are lot of these Americans here in China struggling and working as English teachers.
