Akon: Project To Bring Electricity to Africa & Making Lady Gaga a Superstar 

This man is so well spoken, articulate and genuine.

Helped give electricity to millions of Africans. Already better than 99% of artists today.

"You're a hell of a man, Akon". Great interview.

The pride of the Senegalese. Akon is not a complex guy, he said what he thought. He won the hearts of people of African and because of his pride to its origins. good guy I love it

Didn't know Akon was this interesting, goes to show never judge a book by its cover.

He has put many artists to shame! He is phenomenal!

i have so much respect for this guy ,

akon wallahi is people like you that will change the world in better ways

Akon is my idol, God bless you brother.

A great man being interviewed by a great interviewer.

All the way from Africa..but don't see him the way you see him.#Respect

This, gentleman, is Akon.

did he just say the next musical goal he has is to buy Universal music group with a straight face!

LOL Totally Unexpected, 23:42 LARRY: "Guilty Pleasure?" AKON: "Hmmm.......Porn LARRY: "What?" AKON: "No I'm Just Joking"

AKON YOUR GOING TO HEAVEN BABY: GOD IS PROUD OF YOU. I SWEARR because you bring tears to my eyes! im proud of you for what you become. I cant believe im late on knowing this news.CHRIS BROWN WAS RIGHT

Akon God bless you man, you are great achiever, inspire and legend in the making

The 90’s rap guys are all grown into great gentlemen and am proud listening to them. Talk of Akon, 50 Cent, Jay Z, P Diddy, Snoop Dog etc. The new boys rapping are just messing around learning nothing.

Great interview,this man Akon is fantastic,He have some goals for his life,he is helping ppl in need,he is trying to kill the rasism(even its a bit impossible) But most of all he is following his heart. And to that thing about men and women is not alike..We only got this one life,so live it and dont have regrets. Just saying...

People automatically assume that this "Lighting Africa" thing is a charity. Only when asked does he admit that it's a fully fledged business venture. Not that there's anything wrong with that but he should be more forthcoming.

Great interview by mr.Larry King

I like Akon.

Akon even in big cities there's NO ELECTRICITY

Only 147,882 views. this social media of ours

Allah bless u Bro, we are so proud of you

I just remembered how much I admire Akon, not because of what he has done, or how much money he has made, but because he is an honest person. God Bless you Akon, I love that you think Michael Jackson was your biggest achievement. I think he was too! And one day if you come back to Perth WA, would love to have you over for dinner. :-)

You can do anything that you can point your mind to 💡

19:35 this is the greatest quote right here. AKON THE GREATEST

What Akon says in Africa is all true

i know some people who live in africa and they told me that it's dark where they live because their is no lights.

I am so Proud of this man and everything he is during for Africa.. Going back to his roots and during something that is meaningful and helpful to millions if not billions of people.

Rest in peace Mr King,Akon is a inspirational man among us young people.His vision is high,may Allah grant him success in his life

Akon, you are a true global hero and a inspection to young Africans . Thank you so much and remain protected by our creator.

this almost felt like a job interview. Great interview though

Yap!!Gentleman lntergent! l give much respect Akon!He's smart!👌cool ,Handsome Prince Charming!!😃 👌Dude perfect👌.He's philosophy ,l may compare with My favorite African President "T.Sankara" who killed by he's Best friend Brazze "! we ever had before in ALL AFRICAN!!

Akon smiles a lot. Must keep him young and happy.God bless your sour soul bro

awesome guy. I am really proud of you. I dream to meet and take a pic with you. You ' re so inspiring Akon

just to clarify, he has given electricity to a million homes

Akon is the GREATEST. He didn't care about mainstream America and dissapeared for years from the spotlight working on helping his people in Africa. AMAZING I love this man and it is a SHAME that he only has 200k views AFTER 5 YEARS wtf

Habla muy bien de Akon ese movimiento para fomentar el compromiso a los Gobiernos, yq es una prioridad directa de ellos, pero al estar sometidos a interes, no le permiten tal ayuda a los ciudadanos. The greatest gift of charity is to give what is in your heart. Serve presence to presence No suena bien para muchos cuando Akon dice, que quiere hacer cosas para sea recordado, eso demuestra inmadurez y no genuino, ya que el que sirve de manera genuina e incondicionalmente, no hace público tal hecho ni se lucra con publicidad. Es un buen ejemplo para los demás colegas del género. Akon ha demostrado mucha madures y muestra de crecimiento espiritual, aunque aún nos falta mucho más. Mayormente estas entrevistas pertenecen a un mercado bien definido y disfrazan otras razones y realidad. Lo que haga tu mano izquierda, que no lo sepa la derecha. Para mucho esto es propaganda, ya que no es un dar genuino cuando hace alarde de lo que supuestamente das sin condiciones algunas, y aquí hay un modo de propaganda. No se ve genuina tal supuesta ayuda. Cuando das cosas tienes de más o te sobran, no es dar realmente. Las cosas materiales no representan necesariamente una buena acción. Las cosas con valor real no tienen costo material. No suena bien para muchos cuando Akon dice, que quiere hacer cosas para sea recordado, eso demuestra inmadurez y no genuino, ya que el que sirve de manera genuina e incondicionalmente, no hace público tal hecho ni se lucra con publicidad. En conclusión, el mensaje es bonito y representa una buena acción para los gobiernos del mundo, los cuales deben ayudar más a las comunidades. Pero cada quien puede hacer la diferencia y se vea como se vea, Akon ha dado un paso. The greatest gift of charity is to give what is in your heart. Serve presence to presence

Akon's song "Smack That On the Floor" was one of the first songs I ever heard and one of the best! 👏🏽

One of the beautiful things not lost to me is that Larry King is asking the right questions. The young journalists are really disappointing. See Akon's interview with a journalist in Dubai.

Got so much love and admiration for this man. Keep doing great work for the people. 💕

Believe me brother akon you are more than a Hero any time i listen to your words i feel like crying the heart you have is not easy to someone to have the same like you much respect all the time🇬🇲🇬🇲🇬🇲🇬🇲

Great guy... Proud of you guys

is the universal group for sale? not sure! but they will. everyone has price.. *watch out we got a badass over here ❤🔥👌*

A stand up guy👌 someone who used his music and past to venture off into other avenues and better himself!

Hey there Akon, its nice to see your a huge fan of my RU-vid PageRank. You seem like a good guy that is focus on success. Connect with Miranda Kerr and Miranda cosgrove asap. We will meet n greet asap in Los Angeles, I'm guessing. Merry Christmas and happy New Year for your friends but most of all the entire Akon Family, god bless.

There was story years ago of an african norman guy that started a small goal to power villages with solar. His dream became an energy company.

Our youths nowadays need to listen to interviews like these to get educated

I CAN'T STOP WACHING👁 THIS INTERVIEW ❤💜💙 FIRST KISS: ONDER 12' WE START EARLY IN AFRICA!!! 👁 REALLY"? ☺️

Great interview 👌👌

Dressed like a Gentleman!

FURTENBURG .INC Supports you .. .. let's go🏁

I love this KING soooooo much❤️❤️❤️❤️ Akon

Fine gentleman. Akon is so refined.

Larry King is mad cool!

I can not wait to perform.

Have you heard her sound of music performance... she is the sound of music.

Thank you so much Akon and sir King

B Howard new music is out

It's a bit naive in saying that 'most of Africa'. I don't agree with that, I'm from Botswana and I have electricity and running water believe it or not. I think it's important to be more specific about where he is doing his work.

He's so eloquent.

Great work bro! Bigup

Эйкон в прямом эфире в программе Рожденные в СССР, 22 06 2017 (Akon Эйкон)

this is literally the first interview i've watched him in. GJ Larry. Also, electricity to Africa, and electricity in his marriage hahaha

9:40 B Howard is Michael Jackson real son !!!

May God continue to bless you Akon. I hope and pray that these celebrities (especially African decents) start to imitate your work. keep up the great work.

This is Truth in reality! Much love and respect for Akon. Ase'

Akon is amazing man!!! Big respect!

Love you man ❤️❤️❤️

I am very crazy about akon. you know that cause he is a black man like me, I am haitian. wawawawawawaw akon you are my singer

love you Bro, don't forget Angola

Akon was featured on Fugees the Score

Great interview !

I like the way he is proud to be an African

Right triangle... the A, check the inside triangle. Three 90 degree angles... forever...

As an African man, I have to tell you that Akon is indeed hurting Africa while trying to help it. This project is counter productive as you will find out real soon.

This gentleman, is Akon.

nice one

Regarding Akon I was impressed until the marriage statement. That is wrong and not fair to the wife. She has feelings don't get it twisted.

THAT SUIT IS ON SPOT , I WANT IT SO BAD

Rest In Peace Larry King

all good :)

We need more givers in the world

My role model, a genuine true man

i'm your biggest fan brother...

He is allowed to sleep around but his wife is not, because male work differently because of a different sexuality, biological differences probably....Because men and women are not the same? Yeah, he seems to be having a refreshing view on male and female sexuality, not sexist at al. Fine young man this Akon

Great to se an African American standing up for poor Africans, blacks should stick together moore and help each other

PS: AKON IS SMART

Why Ahkon did mot address Obama as President Obama but corrected himself when he did not address Trump as President later called him President Trump twice. Ahkon. your a good man kept it up bro.

Haiti............A+ akon

don't. matter wat akon is a good man and he is helpin africa hw much off dem artist help when dey leave their country and makin millions and helpin which means givin back

this guy is humble

African man. gotta love their mind set. glad to be one of his own

you are the best Akon

U are the man

The American dream sometimes requires your eternal soul. It's not cheap. It's a dangerous deal.

Akon the great,,,,this is a living legend in both the music world and generally conteprary issues in the world

what a stupid question Larry 'how is it living without electricity ' how was America living before Thomas Edison and his friend invented the AC n DC lights.........they have their ways

LoL Go figure, Africa is gonna end up being ahead of the rest of the world in means of Electricity. ... Well maybe thats going a lil far but at least its replenishable without nuclear waste & pollution. It's amazing that this has gotten so little press! Goes to show what people find important now a days. :/
