No, no, no, no. I mean, to me, that's like the last part. That's like the part that's self-explanatory in the end, right? It's either going to be the reward or the weapon. Fucking is either the reward or the weapon. It depends on how you approach your system. What do you mean by weapon? You don't know? I just want to clarify.

87.352 - 89.835 Alexx

I just want to clarify.

90.095 - 102.708 Akon

Like think about all the horror stories that you see online about a guy getting snagged and next thing you know he's paying like $100,000 a month on a chick he just met, don't even know who she is. Got it. Okay, okay.

102.728 - 104.49 Mark Yagnon

She's weaponizing the sex. 100%.

Or they just meet and get a divorce and next thing you know he's going to court giving her half and he only known her for six months.

0

110.256 - 120.27 Mark Yagnon

Yeah, that's got to be illegal. It should be, but it's not. What are the rules on that in Akon City? What are the rules going to be?

120.31 - 143.268 Akon

There won't be no rules in Akon City. There's no rules. There's no rules. There's going to be guidelines. That's it. Okay. How do I get dual citizenship? Yeah, exactly. When do we sign up? When do we sign up? No, no. You guys will naturally be citizens because I'm trying to make it to where there's a partnership within the United States. So if you're a U.S.

0

143.329 - 157.314 Akon

citizen, you're automatically a citizen. Oh, fuck. I want to make it a territory in Senegal. Yeah, depending on how legislation is passed here, though. Because some of the things that's going on here from a law perspective is not really favorable.

157.574 - 159.897 Mark Yagnon

Especially with immigration right now.

159.958 - 170.773 Akon

You know what I mean? So I need to make sure that some of that stuff actually works for visitors to be able to come in and out. But for the most part, I want it to be an open, like, I want it to be a unity city, like an entertainment unity city.

171.954 - 178.183 Unknown

Just donate him a plane. Just donate him a gift. He can make anything happen.

178.163 - 205.15 Mark Yagnon

Chapter 4: How does Akon perceive the potential of African music globally?

235.591 - 247.225 Mark Yagnon

But multiple wives, multiple responsibilities. That's a very different thing than multiple women. 100%. So tell me why you want multiple wives, not just one wife and then multiple women.

0

247.345 - 270.695 Akon

I mean, because it's the responsibilities as well, too. It makes your life a lot easier. Like, so much easier. Because you got to think, like... Wives are like your best friends. They always got your back. Like, no matter what, they're going to hold you down. They're going to support. They're going to protect. So your perimeter is already, like, you know, occupied by your soldiers.

0

271.396 - 295.869 Akon

Because they're not going to let none come in there that's going to define, affect, or in any kind of way, you know, create a bad environment for you. You follow what I'm saying? Of course, yeah. Now, one wife... some shit could get in. It could slide in. You only got one line of defense. You only got one line of defense. You only got one line of defense. You ever have one bodyguard?

0

296.09 - 299.317 Akon

And think about how many are coming at you. She can't stop them all.

0

299.738 - 302.704 Unknown

That's why there's always problems in the household.

304.642 - 320.185 Akon

You know what I'm saying? She can't defend everybody. She's like this. Then she starts using her feet before you know. Her feet go like this. And then somebody slip in. Oh, shit. Divorce. God damn.

320.226 - 324.652 Mark Yagnon

So how many lines of defense you think are really necessary for security of a man?

324.712 - 325.594 Akon

It depends on the man.

325.794 - 326.255 Mark Yagnon

Right, right.

Chapter 5: What challenges did Akon face while promoting Lady Gaga's record?

3030.401 - 3042.337 Akon

We can't even put this in our playlist. We went to Europe. Europe was like, well, it's a little cheesy. It's not quite what it is. Then I was like, fuck. I went... I can't let this record go. This is a hit.

0

Chapter 6: How did Akon revive a struggling record in Canada?

3042.437 - 3053.414 Akon

I know it's a hit. So I had a tour in Australia. I flew all the way to Australia. When I got to Australia, I said, I'm going to push it here. I know for sure they'll get it here. The record didn't work.

0

Chapter 7: What was Akon's experience working with Eminem?

3053.434 - 3070.63 Akon

So now, mind you, that's six and a half, seven months of me working this record and nothing, getting no bite. So now I'm at a point like, fuck, I'm just going to give up. We just got to give up. And I know if I give up, there's a chance that they will really drop her. Right, because she was always having challenges before I picked her up, before already.

0

3071.131 - 3093.874 Akon

So this would have solidified the fact that, okay, this just may be not it. I was like, no, I can't fucking deal with this. So now I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to revive this record. So I'm on Australia, heading back to the States. We're connecting through Canada. And I was like, should I get off the plane and go to Canada and try it? Like, what would it hurt?

0

3094.294 - 3114.113 Akon

I'm connecting, I got five hours there. So I'm in the lobby thinking about this shit while I'm in the lounge. And I said, you know what, man? Fuck this shit. I ain't got nothing to lose. I called a friend. At the time, he was the head of Virgin Radio, named David Magro. I said, yo, David, I got this record I want to test. It's out, but...

0

Chapter 8: How does Akon view the potential of Africa in the global market?

3114.886 - 3135.944 Akon

It's like the biggest record in Europe right now. It's doing fucking amazing. In Australia. In Australia. The hustle side. I said, bro, you guys got to jump on this shit before it reaches America. Like, that would be embarrassing. It's the number one record on both sides. Like, you need to drop this record. Test it with your market and see what you got. So I come to the station.

0

3135.964 - 3147.255 Akon

Leave my bags, everything, and go straight there. He plays the record. This shit becomes number one on phones. The phones start lighting up. Oh my God, this record is amazing. Who is this?

0

3148.037 - 3152.605 Mark Yagnon

People are calling into the radio station? They're calling the station now. And is that how you could tell back in the day?

0

3152.625 - 3172.454 Akon

That's when you knew if you had something. Because they would say, listen, this is new music. Let us know what you think. And then play it. Bro, when I tell you the phone line's lit up, So he was like, man, this record is a fucking smash. We need to add this. I said, what? He said, can we add it to our other stations? I said, hell yeah. So now I start going to the other stations while I'm there.

0

3172.514 - 3188.413 Akon

Mind you, my bags are still on that plane. That plane had already left back to the States. I understand in Canada an extra week going to all the stations. By the time I left Canada, the record was number one in Canada. Wow. That's crazy. Then they called like, yeah, what the fuck is going on with this record? I think we got something.

3188.63 - 3212.836 Akon

then Kiss in New York City picked the fucking record up in America. When they picked it up, everything changed. Kiss FM? Yes. At that time, they were the needle. If Kiss got the record, everybody was like, okay. What about Z100? Was that like a big pop? It was, but not like Kiss, though. Kiss was like the generation, whereas Z was more like the older generation. Right. You know what I mean?

3212.856 - 3217.732 Akon

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kiss, though, was like, when Kiss said that was it, Everybody follow suit.

3218.133 - 3236.387 Mark Yagnon

Follow suit meaning all the other radio stations go. Jump on it. Wow. Okay. And you're recognizing this because you believe in this artist. But is there also a version where you're like, you understand how profitable it is to have just a megastar artist on your.

3236.407 - 3237.008 Akon

All you need is one.
