Akon comments on Kanye West’s controversy.
Kanye West continue to receive flak on social media for his antics as the rapper recently showed his admiration for Hitler. “I see good things about Hitler, also,” Kanye told Alex Jones. “Every human being has value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”
While most of the artists are against the Donda rapper, Akon defends Ye as he supports the opinions. In a new interview on Sky News, Akon was asked why he still supports Kanye, to which he said: “I show support for opinion and I think people will always have a specific opinion and I think the moment we get to the place where we close our minds up to other people’s opinion, it kind of doesn’t allow us to get to better know each other better know our mindsets and more than anything better know our movements.”

He continued, “I think sometimes we should open up our minds and let things play all the way out and better understand the situation so we have a better solution for it.”
“Those comments don’t really affect me personally…and if it does affect you personally then find a way to actually respond in a way to where that conversation can be reciprocated. Because I think sometimes when someone is offended they just lash out in defense or lash out to make that person feel that same offense that they felt, I think when you take negative and you applied the response negatively back, you only get negative back.”
“It’s really a matter of both understanding what it is. Don’t take things too personally until you really understand the situation,” he concludes.
After the controversial Alex Jones interview, Kanye West continued his statement on the Twitter, where he also posted a Swastika picture, for which he was banned from the platform by Elon Musk.
Some renowned journalists found Akon’s support for Yeezy’s freedom to voice his thoughts repugnant.

Kanye made frightening remarks while wearing a black cloth cover that concealed his face during an interview. “I see good things about Hilter… every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler,” Kanye said. “He didn’t kill six million Jews. That’s just factually incorrect,” Kanye said. “I’m not trying to be shocking. I like Hitler. The Holocaust is not what happened… Hitler has a lot of redeeming qualities,” he added.
