American musician of African ancestry, Akon,, has made a shocking revelation that folks in the American music industry will not find funny. The Senegalese songster stated that some A-Lists Naija singers are richer than many U.S rappers.

He made this known in a viral video of him 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. His words;

“Hip-hop in America, every rapper is rich with Gold chains, girls by the pool in a big mansion but when the video is over they get on a phone and call Uber. But if you go to Nigeria, you have Wizkid, Davido, P-square driving Bentley, and Mercedes Benz they actually own. That’s the difference but if we don’t translate that, they would never know.”

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