This is a great interview. Me and my dad met Nore in Miami the other day. We were in the same elevator. He and his friends was cool. I told him I watched the whole 5 hours of the Tony Yayo interview. He shook my hand and said thanks for the support. It's cool to see guys you seen your whole life actually be a normal dude in real life.

I haven't seen anyone who promote Africa Nations more than Akon. Big Up to you Legend ❤
He is full of shit. If its so great then why is he over here with us? Wakanda was a movie! We leave and go over there and their ass would be here in 2 days.
And Michael Beezy
Sadio Mane
Burna Boy
U mean by lying to the world
man them not drinking was actually a change of pace. them being sober let the guest not really get cut off as much, not much obnoxious laugh. this was a real smooth interview. Akon always been one of my fav artist.
Fizzacks
I agree.. that likka be throwin Nore off sometimes.. he gets to stuttering and shyt lol
@@Butta006 I saw that too Nore like. Damn, I wasn't expecting that answer! Along has my respect way more now ever. He's absolutely correct what he says about Africa in every aspect. I've worked in Nigeria, Dem. Rep of Congo. and Angola previously
Probably because akon doesn't drink
@@Butta006 daà BRONX
"hit records is gonna always find its own audience, just put it out" wise words from Akon. Appreciate chu brotha
🫡💯
Thank you, Akon for giving all these great advices. Just watching this has changed my life
Ok Zelensky “ Go Save 🇺🇦Now
@@2mac233 Excuse me?
I’m from Ghana and I’ve been in love with this show from day 1. This one with Akon is special to me. Akon music save my life in 2007. I’m 25 now , Akon CD is the first CD I bought and listened to it like the Bible. I’m a producer in a Ghana now because of Akon. The guy changed the lives and the mindset of so many people here.... I still wake up every Sunday morning and listen to Akon music..... thank you doing this one for me and Thank Akon for being this remarkable and honorable role model for people like me. God bless you all
Don’t trouble nobody
Te 4th m9chpèwl😢😊😊
Charle you do all
Charle you do all
Bro you were 9 in 2007, how the hell did this mans music save your life.
One of the most intelligent interviews I have ever seen. Teach young man.
Me too.. lots of knowledge 💎
Top 5 drink champs
Every sentence coming out of Akon mouth is like a blueprint.
Respect for representing us in the right way. That’s who are.
Akon w the fake Dior Cape on Addressing the fake watch he gifted French is crazy 😂😩😩😩😂
Man, Akon is an amazing person. not just good as an artist. That short reply of "my ultimate goal is to build africe by starting the movement" that shows great active wisdom.
I built Africa already and I don’t need credit
Thank you Akon for representing African the right way. Your responsible for casting the sun light on Africa beauty.
Amen
Its a program of divide and conquer that dark ppl on the planet need to see
Akon he has such a beautiful voice and his music never goes out of style.
GOAT tier guest apperance from Akon. He's dropping gems in a clear articulate way, and they still having fun with it too..... good shit, I wish all rappers on there spoke like this 🤣
Yeah but he gotta stop lying on South Africa like that! It's the second time he's said that, said the same thing on Vlad!
@@khulekaninyuswa721you have to remember, when he is in SA, apparently he is only shown a piece, and that’s all he talk about;
@khulekaninyuswa721 there are a couple documentaries that say the same as he did. Maybe it's only in certain areas. I remember watching at least two of the docs years ago on TH-cam.
@@DBeautifulOne I can't believe yall actually believe what media wants people to believe,dude we've lived in South Africa our whole lives... But you know what,go ahead believe the lies you being told
@@flyingdove5780 Y'all go ahead and believe what media tells you... Just like how y'all believed that Iraq had mass distraction weapons and that they were this evil country!
Alotta people forget Akon is a great producer too.. he produced many songs... I always been a fan of his production
He ain’t produce no music he a scammer just the face of the beat
He produced his own hits that’s why he been so Rich
“A lot of people forgot but not me I remember…look at me guys I’m a true fan of someone that doesn’t know I exist”
@@chrmkd🤣🤣🤣
🎉 The first Drink champs they did with Akon was CLASSIC. Can’t wait to watch this one.😁
I grew up listening to Akon. one of the most underrated artists of all time. such a humble man fr
Akon is a very intelligent brutha.. He's spitting gems this whole interview 💎 💯
Yes n moron too
Indeed.
HES NOT INTELLIGENT, only to slow people like you is he intelligent. Akon is the number one person inviting china into africa to slowly take it over. Akon is so damn naïve he really believes China is going to help Africa! Watch in 50 years, china will have taken over Africa and robbed it of it’s resources to build china’s mainland up.
his lies most of the time though when he talks about africa he forgets that africans in africa are watching him too lol.
@@vkjfv huh?
Akon is super cool. I met him in 🇩🇴 Santiago, Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 in the late 2000s. Akon deserves all the recognition he gets. He's talented and very humble. 🍾🥳 DRINK CHAMPS MAKE SOME NOISE! 🥳🍾
I met him before you. I am cooler than him. You better respect me too brother.
Thanks.
Omega 🇩🇴 named his son after Akon…
@@SONNYHOTmusic WOW!
@@blackslav1497 😆👌🏻 Ok!
@@SONNYHOTmusic Who?
much love from SENEGAL🇸🇳 we are so proud of our brother KON😊
This is such a dope episode. I learned so much about Akon and his legacy. Much respect to Drink Champs and Akon. Keep it up 🙏. Peace and love from Indonesia
He really did something for his people and country.. much respect
What did he do?
@@truth4reelmore than you'll do for anyone in your entire life that's what lol
@@Curtis856Well you still haven't told me what he did. Let go off your ego and let's have a Convo. I know of Akon before you even knew he existed, back in the day around 95-96. I'm from the same place and haven't seen what you're claiming, hence my question. Again what did he do?
@@truth4reel adopt 69
@@tiedye5951 sorry, come again bro.
Thanks for recognising my country Kenya🇰🇪 Akon. May God bless you and the work you are doing on the great continent.
H bbvu. 😊😊
I miss Kenya my country,
This guy see life differently much respect for sharing your wisdom and information
We eat jolloff in America too …It’s called “Red rice “ my cousin from South Carolina (Gullah island)makes it all the time and I ain’t realize it was the same thing until I tried jollof at this Nigerian spot in Queens ,Ny
The "Drio" jacket killed me
Talking all this African shit with Dior on
@@HiMynameissavage Drio not Dior, lolol
This is an excellent interview. Akon is a genius 💯
Akon is dressed like a power ranger. There is nothing genius about him.
@b.o.1951 one thing for sure: he ain't stupid
Laisaa😂 fight
hey Neyo
I can listen to this podcast and Akon all day!
No other artists I listened to more in middle school than T Payne and Akon they was killing shit dope interview
Very intelligent conversation and needed to be talked about
Akon is a pride to Senegal and Africa much love, 🇳🇬🤝🏾🇸🇳
How’s the progress with Akon city?
@@hyrumkuru Ask a Senegalese person I'm Nigerian
@@chillout8950 so you can’t say then he is a pride to Senegal when you have no clue whether or not the Akon city is ever going to be complete
@@hyrumkuru Akon has done a lot in getting Senegal recognition internationally through his music and his philanthropy, Akon city is only one of them the rest is Google able, do some research before saying ignorant stuff like that, good day lad
I miss his talent. Most def one of the best song writers and hits were his thing. So humble too.
Akon is so intelligent and knowledgeable. I love this interview!
he lied bout africa tho
@@brytmaposa9941wouldn't surprise me if he paid for all these comments that keep calling him "intelligent"
@Tshabalala-em3wj are whites poorer than blacks in SA?
@@brytmaposa9941 think it's the other way around ngl😭😭
I met Akon in like 2011. I was walking downtown Philly and he was randomly standing at a hotel door. We chopped it up.for about 5 mins like 2 regular men.
Nice
Great interview. Definitely learned some things to apply in life. Great interview; even without drinking!! ❤
One of the best episodes guys 🍾 Drink Champs is here to stay 🍸🍷🥃🥂🍻🍾🍾
Ngl I love Nore and watch Drink Champs clips, but this is the first time I watch a whole 3hrs one. Happy I did that! Worth every second! Akon is an Icon fr man! I learned so much! Thank you y'all for real!
Akon is responsible for T-Pain & Lady Gaga's success
“They preserve culture, they preserve legacy. We compete against it.”
Mannn
We add on and improve and make things better,we don't preserve ignorance like white supremacists will to their own destruction! Truth is eternal and ignorance is destroyed always
I bet alot of folks didn't understand that
Mmmm
Akon out there dressed like Sub Zero from Mortal Kombat😅
😳🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
😂😂🤣
😁😁 maybe he getting paid from dior
Things deals do to this musicians..image control is the name..they are like billboards for cheap ads
Akon just spitting facts 100%,the truth is all we need
I like Akon's world perspective on business and music!
Another fire show. I listen to it this morning on apple podcast. Love Drink champs Best to ever do it.
Akon is a genuine Dude! Love the dialogue...
Everything that’s too good to be true is always too good to be true. Facts!!!!
Great interview💯💯Bartender is still one of my favs tracks of all time! Thanks for shouting out Tanzania.
🇹🇿 to the world 🔥
i think youre talin about t pain, he's the only one i know wit a song called bar tender, but yeee t pain was signed to akon or some shit i think, look it up
True, true. Akon was just featured.
Akon is true inspiration. Got me really considering moving to Africa. Drink Champs is super dope! They ask the best questions
How old are you?
@@Sochi314 I just turned 98
@@boodang100 🤣🤣🤣
What Akon had to say about South Africa touched my heart.....salute from RSA my Brother
His capping🧢 It's his second interview saying Black folks are richer than White folks in South Africa 🤔🤔🤔 That couldn't be further from the truth!!!!
Its all lies he doesnt know shit about us in RSA
Did you catch what he said about ''The poorest parts of South Africa are where white folks are''?
@torrez267 yeah that blew my mind hey like which South Africa is he talking about?
@@torrez267 It's the second time he's said that on a huge platform... Akon gone crazy!!!!!!
Akon educating the hell out of us!! ✊🏾
Came here for the DRIO jokes lmao 😂😂😂
Dior😅
Big ups Akon!
Shout out Africa,
Shout out Nigeria!
Good job drink Champs.
Shouts to Akon's barber for having his best interest in his hands, than going against the grain..... Literally! 😂😂
As insightful as this interview is, i spent probably 43.1% of the time looking at his lineup.
"AKONNNNN AND DRINK CHAMPPPPSSSSS!!!!!". I had to do it 😂. This is going to be a 🔥 interview.
When i met your brother in Pittsburgh he was real cool. I appreciate him for being a good person. May he rest easy! XUP!
This man is spittin'!! Respect 💯💯
Dope Great Interview Akon Is Musical Genius And Akon Got His Own City N Africa Hes A Real Humble Man Hes A Legend
My fave album is FREEDOM it helped me through my dark times...god bless akon god bless Africa with new changes coming....
3:13:00 is at the end of interview that personally I think Akon gave one of the most important advice about creating an outstanding hiphop museum, and giving the opportunity for young artist both in the U.S. and internationally to learn and be informed about the founding fathers of culture, impacts and its evolutions.
I wish they put time stamps on their show
Super great interview 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Akon very knowledgeable
I thought he was just an artist never thought he was a bigger player. Yeah nore is right akon is a genius. I even think he is more genuine than most of the big players and he sound really smart too. Also he planning to put lights on the whole africa and having his own city. Akon is on a different level and its very inspiring
that Drio sweater hard def gotta do my research on that brand
I like Akon thought process 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿 love from 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe
Shout out to Akon on the K-Pop wave especially. He was on that before the U.S. mainstream even knew what it was! Back in the "underground" BTS days when they were a counterculture group! The man is the, respect to Pitbull, original mr. worldwide!
He was definitely ahead of alot of sounds in his production and lyrics for that matter
I remember this. 2012, I was living in South Korea at the time and he did one song "like money" with the Wonder girls and even came to a festival that summer. That's when I met him at the airport. All my family was there. We're Senegalese like him and at the time my dad was the ambassador. He even gave his card to Akon. Crazy day I'll remember forever.
@@ibrahimadabo9417 awesome!
Akon is a legend. Glad he is on Drink Champs again. With that said NORE and DJ EFN also need their flowers...facts or undeniable facts?
Akon is by far the smartest artist i’ve listened to
‘I wanna love you’ and ‘smack that’ are still some of the best songs
Wow
@@ragantate3995 what
Akon is dope af. Came out with str8 bangers
🔥🔥🔥🔥🇸🇳
Akon is one of the MOST talented musical geniuses and businessmen in the world 💯🔥
If you say so 😂
Cap
😂😂😂😂
Akon city is a scam lol
All those that had negative and disparaging comments to express about Akon needs to check their self-hatred and anti-blackness.
After watching this i couldnt help but think of Pusha T's bar "We specialize in not getting locked up, Akon (a con)" on Call My Bluff. Dope episode🔥
This was one of the top interviews in my opinion
Listening to Akon and this program touched me deeply, I hav been thinking suicide lately but this woke me up a lot, I laughed, teared and asked myself questions
God help us
Thanks Akon and Nore
Please keep your head up and
@@matonge3 thanks buddy I’m trying
Come on man , don eva give up. Sending you so much hugs and love, Man trust me everything gonna be alright !
Man F that can you let me hold $5..$20 till next week🥰
Keep your head up buddy.
I'm at a point where I'm savoring the process of the grind and the levels are growth into the art of our potentials we become. Its never gets old. Very beautiful process in creation and build with creator intermingled empathy. Innovation.
Akon’s laugh made this even better
Akon Singing can be put on the list with Seal…..Amazing Voice
That drio jacket hard af
I actually agree
Which Seal? Akon had some hits but you need to pull up Kiss From A Rose ASAP.
Akon knowledge is on another level. Very smart guy
I loved this interview by far.....feels like I know Akon in and out. Love from Kenya...Lets make Africa great again.
Akon Smacked That! Interview👏👏👏
Akon popped out like an African Power Ranger
This comment 😂
I'll never forget the time I met Akon at akoncert.
That Drio top crazy!
Akon a true Legend this gonna be a top 5 Champ episode when its said and done..
My grandfather was born in Morocco, My Grandmother was born in Nigeria, my father was born in Ghana and I was born in New York City the bronx
That’s that universal blend. Beautiful! My Grandfather was born in Cuba, My Grandmother was from the Dominican Republic, Mom is from Trinidad, Dad’s from Jamaica, and I’m from South Jamaica Queens NYC!
@@camillegraham777 wow your a universal blend as well definitely beautiful
@@camillegraham777now you both should get married 😂
Now that's a huge gold combination
The vibe over there. That AI talk, I was expecting Monkey Drums, XO, Atlas 2... i am from Senegal too. Thanks guys. It was dope.
Some of my most favorite songs are Akons! I super love Locked up, Shake that Ass, Soul Survivor, I'm missing A couple of them. Akon is Legendary Great! Proud he getting his flowers again. He damn well deserves them!
Spell check changed the name, my bad, I ment instead of shake that ass but Smack that ass.
Ghetto was my ring tone for years back in my drug dealing days.🔥
I came for the D RiO Jacket
Currently Watching From Africa 🇧🇮
Akon educating the hell out of Me 🙅🏿♂️
I thoroughly enjoyed this whole thing. Amazon delivery drivers love you guys Drink Champs.
Learned a lot with this interview. Akon is a smart man
Akon is so smart and I mean SO SMART and spiritual. I wasn’t expecting to hear all that intelligence I definitely learnt a lot from this and just to see how humble his been through his career is a bonus . Coming from east Africa you represent the entire Africa continent extremely well 👏🏾❤
I'd love to see a show of Akon just talking about african history and migration!!! Extra interesting.
Akon is highly respected in Africa.
As an African I can honestly and earnestly tell you that you have no idea what you are talking about. .just like your Akon lying about Africa, y'all should shut the hell up
We need a Verzuz. Haiti vs Senegal. Wyclef 🇭🇹 vs Akon 🇸🇳 Let's go‼
This would be legendary 🔥🔥
😐no
THIS INTERVIEW IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE FUNNY AND LEGENDARY ESPECIALLY WITH HIS HAIR AND HAIRLINE.
I brought here because of the D-rio jacket 😂

So many highschool memories in the hall ways and in the playground playin akon tracks. Dayum ❤😊
Akon came with the energy in this one
Dope show, keep bringing the 🔥
My man got that Drio drip on 😅
Can't wait for Akon's book
