Hey Shannon Sharp, if you're reading this I just wanted to tell you bro I'm so appreciative of your journalism and how you interview people you ask the right questions, you know when to talk and when not to talk. Your funny, your intelligent and I really appreciate you. I can say this is one of the best interviews that I ever seen in a long time. Thank you so much keep doing what you doing brother

Michael Jackson was able to sell millions before social media and that says alot. These artist these days wouldn’t do half of anything without social media.

[@davidbkg6155]

It's a gift and a curse. The positive side is they become famous easier and faster but the negative side is that music don't sell like it did before social media and streaming

[@caper087]

That’s not necessarily true… yea a lot of them.. but a lot of them Joyner Kendrick Cole few others still be able to grab it… just have to find a diff way to do it.. but yea alot of them wouldn’t make it anywhere without social media

I’ve seen every Club Shay Shay episode…….in MY HUMBLE OPINION this is the best Inter by far! The laughter and the realness reaches out and grabs you by the throat. Keep gettin that money Akon. I especially appreciate when people in high places use their platform to give back or open doors and opportunities for others. GOD IS GREAT GOD IS GOOD LET US THANK HIM FOR TAKING US OUT THE HOOD! AMEN

This is my favourite episode yet uncle Shay......you can definitely sense the genuine love and respect from both of y'all.

[@margeauxjenkins12]

This interview was great. To hear men of wisdom talking about issues without being biased or arrogant. Great!

[@dalving6189]

One of the best interviews! Been Following Akon since I was in Elementary school. Streaming Locked Up on LimeWire, downloading all the Akon ringtones, trying to find the clean version of I Wanna Love You feat. Snoop Dogg! Thanks for the interview Mr. Sharpe. Much love!

[@didntcreateahandle]

I'm so glad that this interview popped up in my timeline a year later. :) Good conversation. Great laughter.

[@danielpp23]

His story is amazing and he touched on so many subjects that I’ve always been curious to understand more about, being a fan of rap and sports, but not from the US. His perspective on a lot of these things was illuminating! What a vibe this dude is, great interview!

[@Cairo_Amen]

The best and most intimate “Club Shay-Shay” interview thus far! Much respect to Akon.

[@emmanuelgunn8484]

Shannon is a great interviewer!!

[@gwendolyndavison1836]

China

[@tysmith2138]

Apparently you need to read up on Akon! He is a straight snake that is selling out Africa to China! China is using the same method as America giving them Billion dollar loans they will not be able to pay back! So what happens when they default on the loans. China goes in and starts moving in colonizing the country and taking the natural resources!
