The superproducer says ‘street code’ is dead.
Other fans agreed with Lanez, condemning the superproducer for violating “street code” by associating with Tekashi 6ix9ine.
Akon says he can’t violate what doesn’t exist.
“There is no street code,” the producer said.
He noted that the codes he grew up with, which were once followed, are no longer practiced by the younger generation.
“Everybody’s disobeying the codes, so there are no codes to even follow,” the artist said.
The singer-songwriter also added that he chose to give the sample to Tekashi to reach a particular audience.
“It was more of a creative decision and a generational decision. Because the generation that I needed to speak to, they all followed Tekashi at that time,” the artist said.
During the interview, the star discussed another controversial topic, polygamy. The Muslim Senegalese-American explained that a man having multiple wives is traditional. He also defends his friend Neyo’s lifestyle, which involves having multiple girlfriends.
“I applaud him for doing it, because he’s doing what a lot of guys wish and would want to do, they just don’t have the balls to be honest with the girls that they’re dealing with, Akon said.
The loverboy friends will join forces as they co-headline “Nights Like This” Global Tour. The 57-city tour kicks off Friday, April 24, in Dublin, Ireland.
