“It’s all based on the youth, the development of the youth and things of that nature. I’m everywhere in the world dealing with politics, so my foreign experience is through the roof.”

Akon also touched upon Kanye West’s aspirations to run for president in 2024.

When asked if he thinks he could beat West, Akon noted that he doesn’t “think it would be a competition.”

“I need him to run. I want him to because it’s like this — Kanye’s not crazy. He’s just been awakened,” Akon said, praising the “Jesus Is King” rapper.

“My belief, because from a spiritual state, I just feel like he’s awake now,” said the “Lonely” rapper. “He’s [the] most amazing marketer in the world. He understands his audience — but he’s definitely not crazy.

“If he does run, it’s great for the culture,” Akon noted. "Now, whether or not you think he’s fit is another thing, that’s why you got me as another choice.”
