The Senegalese-American singer Akon may be a very talented musician, but he has terrible politics. And he likes to share them. Remember when George W Bush was still President in the United States and Akon opined to rap magazine, “The Source”: “… (Black people in the US) can nag about the president all they want and how the system is against black people, but if they saw how other people lived (in Africa) they would see how blessed they really are. All the decisions they think the government has made against black people really are for black people here.”

Akon later defended Barack Obama against Lupe Fiasco’s criticisms of the President’s Middle Eastern policies.  Then there was his association with the very unpopular Senegalese President, Abdoulaye Wade (who was eventually voted out) or with the corrupt government of Gabon and that party anthem he wrote for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s doomed presidential run.
