Akon has gone viral again for his outlandish comments about gender roles while appearing on rapper Joe Budden’s podcast.
A clip of the artist’s interview released a month ago is now a hot topic on Twitter due to his inaccuracy regarding procreation.
During the sit-down, Akon shared that African women know their role in society compared to American women and that men are superior to women in all ways since they are “the kings and divine of this universe.”
“If we go to Africa and we’re talking about women … it’s paradise,” the 49-year-old said. “‘Cause you’re not just dealing with beauty, you’re also dealing with a different mentality.”
He claimed that the women in African countries treat their men like kings because they’re not competing or “fighting for equality because they understand that women and men could never be equal.”
“The roles are very defined. It’s very clean. Like here, Even if you say the word ‘role’ to a woman here they’ll get offended,” he said. “Yo, play your role, and let me play mine. ‘Role? What the f**k you mean, role?’ Like everyone has a role. There’s an infrastructure to life.”
He continued, “And if a woman doesn’t understand her position and the role that she plays in life, everybody’s confused.”
The “Smack That” singer stood firm on his outdated views on roles and shared that men and women can’t play equal roles in a relationship because it’s not balanced.
“God installed love, emotions and compassion in a woman because, as a motherly figure, those things have to be instilled. This is why women catch feelings so quick. This is why they can endure so much pain and still be there. That loyalty comes to them naturally.”
To stay out of the hot seat, Budden remained silent when asked his thoughts.
Akon dove deeper down the gender role hole when he shared his version of the science behind creating life.
“The woman don’t create life, they support the creation of life,” he said. “Men, we’re Gods. We’re the ones that create life. Let me give you the science of it. A man right now can create life without a woman…a woman can’t create life without a man. If I wanted to create life right now without a woman, I would just shoot my sperm, put it in an incubator and just give it nine months…even maybe less with today’s science … a woman can’t do that.”
He added, “Men have lost the idea of the power they actually possess and passed it to the woman. Here in America, the men are afraid of their power.”
Many fans were offended and disagreed with Akon on the topic that men don’t need women to have children, as biology proves his theory wrong.
Akon should’ve stayed quiet with his electricity and fake currency in Senegal . Now everybody is slowly realizing that Akon is one of the dumbest people alive https://t.co/NLOY6p9bTT

Technically all men could die off and women could repopulate the world with the dead mens frozen sperm. He had it backwards, but his ego is apparently blinding him from understanding how thing actually work🙃

He’s the same guy who said being an active father is for white men, so I don’t take anything he says serious.

Akon is an idiot.
Stop having children with men that are dumb. This is so embarrassing. https://t.co/mIbKQQlFVL— oh. ok. (@Cleaningout2020) January 17, 2023
