With Kanye West making plans to run for president in 2024, Akon has something to say. Akon has previously stated his plans to run for president before, but they were put in the back burner due to him working on new music. Now that he’s done with the music, Akon paid a visit to The Real to discuss West’s intentions for candidacy.
The Konvict Muzik boss made it clear that he knows what he’s talking about when it comes to politics. Akon mentioned how he currently advises 30 African presidents when it comes to development and youth issues. Akon went on to say that he would “honestly need [Kanye] to run.”
