Akon recently sat down with VladTV alongside his Konvict Kartel artist OG Boo Dirty and spoke about the common misconception that Africans don't like African Americans. Akon explained that it's the complete opposite in the country, adding that he has had plenty of African American friends who moved to the country and became multi-millionaires from starting their own business.
During the conversation, Akon also clarified statements he made about Donald Trump, pointing out that he doesn't think Trump is like Hitler, but he believes that the Republican presidential nominee's comments are from the era. OG Boo Dirty also commented on Trump by saying that he shared his distaste with the business magnate in his music video, where he kidnapped him and put him in the trunk.
To hear more of what Akon had to say, including why he doesn't teach his kids Black history, hit the clip below.

The New York City District Attorney's case againstDesiigneris falling apart at the seams.
As we previously reported, the 19-year old "Timmy Turner" rapper, born Sidney Selby III, was arrested along with four other people on Friday, September 9, after someone called the police claiming he had pointed a gun at them during a road rage incident.
When police stopped the SUV Desiigner was an occupant in, a subsequent search turned up hundreds of pills that were reported at the time to be OxyContin and methadone.
Police arrested and charged everyone in the vehicle with 2 felonies ... criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal possession of drugs with intent to sell.
In addition, Desiigner was charged with menacing for pointing a gun at the other driver during the alleged road rage incident and felony criminal possession of a loaded weapon.
During the rapper's arraignment on Saturday, September 10, the D.A. dropped the gun charge because police didn't find one. The intent to sell charge was also dismissed.
The pills were still being tested at the time, but his attorney said all of them were anabolic steroids prescribed to the driver.
As he walked out of the courthouse a free man Saturday, Desiigner spoke to reporters.
"They tried to keep me in there, you feel me? But when you doing it right, keeping it positive they can't lock you up. Eee, eee, eee! Rrrrraaaahhh!" he said.
"Why do you think they're after you? Why do you think they said you were in a road rage incident?" he was asked.
"You know what time it is," he replied.
TMZ is now reporting that the tests on the pills found revealed that they were all steroids.
We'll have to wait and see if the remaining charges against Desiigner will get dropped. I'm no legal expert, but I'd have to believe they will be.

Memorabilia website Moments in Time plans to auction offTupac Shakur'shandwritten lyrics for the song "Catchin' Feelings" this month, but the late rapper's estate is threatening legal action if it does.
TMZ reports that the Shakur estate plans to sue if the sale goes through. They maintain that they are the owners of all of the music icon's personal and intellectual property because he never sold them. The fact that former managers, employees and others took money for some of the items doesn't change the fact they still legally belong to Shakur, according to the estate.
As we previously reported, MIT owner, Gary Zimet, obtained the lyric sheet from a former employee who worked at the studio where the song, which appears on 2Pac's2002 posthumous album titled"Better Dayz," was recorded in 1996.
Zimet says the estate doesn't have a valid claim and he won't stop the auction. He's asking for $38,500.

In 2001 Peedi Crakk signed to Jay Z and Dame Dash'sRoc-A-Fella Records label. Two years later he released his biggest single titled "One for Peedi Crakk," featuring Beanie Sigel, Young Chris and Freeway.
During an appearance on Doggie Diamonds' "No Filter" podcast the Philadelphia rapper explained that the Megahertz-produced song originally had verses from label mates Cam'Ron and Juelz Santana, but as soon as Jay heard it playing in the studio he had them removed from the record.
"I listened to it and I was really excited and happy because I was proud," Peedi said. "While I'm listening to it Jay walked in the room. Jay was like, 'What's that shit?' I was like, 'That's some new shit I just did, Jay.' He said 'Let me hear it.' My verse come on and as soon as Cam come on, Jay tapped the engineer. 'Yo, stop that. Delete that shit.' I swear to God my heart dropped. He said 'Delete that shit, get that nigga off of there.'"
Peedi later spoke to Cam and told him what had happened. Killa told him not to sweat it. He had a copy of the original version and gave it to Peedi.
It ended up on a DJ Kay Slay mixtape. You can listen to it below.

NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. marked the 15th anniversary of 9/11 on Sunday, with victims' relatives reading their names and reflecting on a loss that still felt as immediate to them as it was indelible for the nation.
But despite a tradition of putting aside partisan politics for the day, the observance became part of the news of a combustible presidential campaign, when Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton left about 90 minutes into the ground zero ceremony after feeling "overheated," her campaign said.
A senior law enforcement official who was briefed on the matter said that after leaving the memorial plaza, Clinton was observed "fainting" in a departure area. That official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to disclose information publicly.
After going to her daughter's nearby apartment, Clinton left shortly before noon and said, "I'm feeling great." Her campaign offered no additional details, including whether the 68-year-old Clinton had required medical attention.
Republican rival Donald Trump's supporters have repeatedly questioned Clinton's health. Trump, who was also at the ceremony for a time, was asked later about Clinton's health incident and said only: "I don't know anything about it."
The 15th anniversary arrives in a country caught up in the campaign, keenly focused on political, economic and social fissures and still fighting terrorism. But for those who lost relatives, the fraught passage of 15 years feels "like 15 seconds," said Dorothy Esposito, who lost her son, Frankie.
Over 1,000 victims' family members, survivors and dignitaries at ground zero under an overcast sky.
"It doesn't get easier. The grief never goes away. You don't move forward — it always stays with you," Tom Acquaviva, who lost his son, Paul Acquaviva.
James Johnson was there for the first time since he last worked on the rescue and recovery efforts in early 2002, when he was a New York City police officer.
"I've got mixed emotions, but I'm still kind of numb," said Johnson, now a police chief in Forest City, Pennsylvania. "I think everyone needs closure, and this is my time to have closure."
Nearly 3,000 people died when hijacked planes slammed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field near Shanksville on Sept. 11, 2001. It was the deadliest terror attack on American soil.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said on Sunday news shows that the United States is safer now than it was in 2001 against another 9/11-style attack but continues to face the challenge of potential attacks by solo and homegrown violent extremists.
President Barack Obama, speaking at the Pentagon memorial service, praised America's diversity and urged Americans not to let their enemies divide them.
"Our patchwork heritage is not a weakness — it is still and always will be one of our greatest strengths," Obama said. "This is the America that was attacked that September morning. This is the America that we must remain true to."
Some victims' relatives at ground zero pleaded for the nation to look past its differences.
"The things we think separate us really don't. We're all part of this one Earth in this vast universe," said Granvilette Kestenbaum, who lost her astrophysicist husband, Howard Kestenbaum.
Others expressed hopes for peace or alluded to the presidential race: "Guide America's next commander in chief and help make America safe again," said Nicholas Haros, who lost his mother, Frances Haros.
Neither Clinton nor Trump made public remarks at the ceremony, where politicians haven't been invited to speak since 2011. The two candidates also followed a custom of halting television ads for the day.
Meanwhile, hundreds of people gathered for a name-reading observance at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where one of the hijacked planes crashed 15 years ago.
In New York, ceremony organizers included some additional music and readings Sunday to mark the milestone year. But they kept close to what are now traditions: moments of silence and tolling bells, an apolitical atmosphere and the hourslong reading of the names of the dead.
Some speakers described how their loss had moved them to do something for others.
Ryan Van Riper said he planned to honor his slain grandmother, Barbara Shaw, by serving the country. Jerry D'Amadeo, who was 10 when he lost his father, Vincent Gerard D'Amadeo, said he worked this summer with children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, where 26 children and adults were massacred in 2012.
"Sometimes the bad things in our lives put us on the path to where we should be going — to help others as many have helped me," he said.
Financial and other hurdles delayed the redevelopment of the Trade Center site early on, but now the 9/11 museum, three of four currently planned skyscrapers, an architecturally adventuresome transportation hub and shopping concourse and other features stand at the site. A design for a long-stalled, $250 million performing arts center was unveiled Thursday.
The crowd has thinned somewhat at the anniversary ceremony in recent years. But some victims' family members, like Cathy Cava, have attended all 15 years.
"I will keep coming as long as I am walking and breathing," Cava said, wearing a T-shirt with a photo of her slain sister, Grace Susca Galante.
"I believe most of her spirit, or at least some of her spirit, is here. I have to think that way."

Desiigner was just released from a New York City jail after being held overnight on several charges stemming from his arrest on Friday, September 9.
The 19-year old was happy to be a free man and even threw out some of his signature ad-libs as he talked to a TMZ cameraman, while walking to a car waiting to pick him up.
"They tried to keep me in there, you feel me? But when you doing it right, keeping it positive they can't lock you up. Eee, eee, eee! Rrrrraaaahhh!" he said.
"Why do you think they're after you? Why do you think they said you were in a road rage incident?" the "Panda" rapper was asked.
"You know what time it is," he replied.
The 19-year old had reason to be excited. The District Attorney dropped the gun charge against him because cops didn't find a weapon when they searched the vehicle he was in the day he was arrested.
As we previously reported, the Brooklyn native and four other individuals were in an SUV when they allegedly got into a road rage incident involving the driver of another vehicle in New York City.
That person called police, claiming Desiigner pointed a gun at him.
When cops caught up with the SUV and searched it they allegedly found a large amount of methadone, OxyContin and illegal steroids.
All of the SUV's occupants, including Desiigner. were charged with 2 felonies ... criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal possession of drugs with intent to sell.
TMZ reports that during Desiigner's arraignment Saturday authorities said there were 57 green pills, 78 white pills and 139 round white pills.
Several duffle bags containing other illegal substances were also discovered.
Desiigner's lawyer said all of the pills were anabolic steroids prescribed to the driver.

More details are coming in about the arrest ofDesiignerand four of his friends in New York City on Friday morning, September 9.
TMZ is reporting that in addition to the OxyContin found during a search of the SUV they were in, police also found methadone and illegal steroids.
Methadone is an opiod commonly used to treat people addicted to heroin, Dilaudid and OxyContin by reducing drug cravings and preventing opiod withdrawals. It can also be addictive and lead to overdoses or death if abused.
There are many different types of steroids. Many of which are used by doctors to treat a variety of ailments.
However, anabolic steroids are often abused by athletes to increase performance and build muscle. For that reason they are banned in almost every sport.
It's not known what type or types of steroids were found when Desiigner was taken into custody.
As we previously reported, the 19-year old Brooklyn rapper, born Sidney Selby III, was charged with menacing for allegedly pointing a gun at another driver during a road rage incident and felony criminal possession of a loaded weapon.
He and the other four individuals also face felony charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal possession of drugs with intent to sell.
