AKON BELIEVES/PRACTICES POLYGAMY
Wednesday, October 4, 2006
Akon recently sat down with Angie Martinez of Hot 97 and talked about growing up in a household that practiced polygamy. He said his father had about 4 wives, and he knew them all as his mom. According to him, ALL Africans believe in polygamy. I know Bouga is going to have something to say about that!
According to VIBE CONFIDENTIAL, Akon also admitted that he was running his own ‘multi-monogamous’ household down in the Atlanta. But I guess they snipped out that part in the interview I listened to, because I didn’t hear him say that.
*LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW*
Check for Akon’s new album, hitting stores on November 21st. Also, check out the exclusive Akon DVD trailer after the jump.

I believe you, but what would you say…only 75% believe in it or is it like 50%?
I know that not all American men believe in porn, but I’ll bet over 90% of the men will gladly look at one in private!

Akon is doing what Akon wants to do, period. I believe the only reason why he attributes his polygamy to his “African culture” and/or “Muslim religion” is because he needs an excuse for it. For chrissakes, dude was born in Ohio. When did Ohio become a part of Africa? Personally, I think men should have as many wives as they wish, and women should have as many husbands as they wish (ya heard!) as long as everyone’s happy with the setup. As for Akon, he needs to man up, cut out the “it’s my heritage” bull$h!t, and just say, “I have 7 wives because I want 7 wives, and if these females are dumb enough to go for it, that’s between them and me.”
Uh, I’m starting up my own lil harem now, so fellas, if you’re innerested, holla at a player : D

Akon is the sickest and most stupid lucky ass hold I have heard about. He’s a theif and a rapiest. He should shut the “F” up before someone get made and talk about his nasty doing in public. I am thinking hard about it.

having 3 wives is fine….as long as the girls are allowed to have more husbands…no, thats not allowed,,,,hmmmm hell no then..who the hell would wanna be a part of that, and yes akon is fine, and very successful, but if the woman arent allowed to share their love with many men, then the men cant either…….enough said.

First of all, Akon was born in St. Louis, lived in Senegal till he was 7, then moved to NJ. Second, so the man “generalized,” ok, whatever. Does it matter? When I say “Mormon,” I bet you think of a dumb white man with 10 wives. But, they don’t all have 10 wives, now do they? And further more, to Bill(#69): Ok, generalize much? All black women from NJ shoot people? Oh, ok. I’m not African, but I do know that a lot of African’s don’t practice or believe in polygamy, but I also know that a lot of them do. Just like every other culture or race in the world, you will find people who thinks that it’s perfectly acceptable to be “married” to more than one person. But, I don’t recall anyone every saying that Akon, or his father, were LEGALLY married. A lot of gay couples will say that they are married when there is nothing LEGAL about it, so why can’t polygamists say the same thing?
Anyway, I stopped reading the old post around 74, so if I’m repeating anything someone already said, sorry, but it got to long for me. Akon has 3 wives. He announced it, so obviously they know about each other. Ok, so why is this such a big deal? The dude’s got 3 women who he cares about and provides for. Isn’t that better than sleeping with a different woman every night? And polygamy spreads AIDS? OK, and sleeping with 50 people doesn’t? Let him live his life, you don’t see him walking around talking shit on the way you live, do you?
