Akon's All About the Gender Roles in Sexist Interview
Akon has said some sexist stuff about women on Monday, and of course, people will probably be outraged, only to forget about the whole thing tomorrow.
In an interview with Hollywood Today Live in which he discusses winning a BET Award for his humanitarian work in Africa, the 43-year-old Akon (born Aliaume Damala Badara Akon Thiam) clarified his 2013 statement that men are "natural breeders." He took it upon himself to point out the difference between men and women:
“Why is it that every woman in the world is going through the exact same problem with a man... Just think about it. It’s not a coincidence, it’s just who we are. I always believed that if women took the time to understand men, you literally would run the world. The only reason why men are dominant is because we know more about women than women know about men.”
