Meanwhile, Fellow Rapper Akon has given his POV about Kanye’s ongoing debacle. While agreeing with West’s right to an opinion, fellow rapper Akon said in an interview with Sky News that he did not agree with West’s statements.
He said, “I’m an advocate for the right to have any beliefs I want. On the day we meet, I’ll explain to him why I think differently, and then he may either agree with me or tell me I’m wrong. Whatever the case may be, we shall debate it.
I find his take on things intriguing, but I want to know more about how he came to it. Therefore, I think it’s crucial to have open lines of communication with others; nevertheless, there are times when we choose to overlook such things, and you’ll never be successful if you don’t.
