EPISODE 572 | AKON On Micheal Jackson, Africanism, Eminem, Costa Titch, Polygamy, Akon City, Amirror 

Imagine being a South African celebrity who refuses to come to podcast and chill cause "it will tarnish your brand" then you see a global brand doing such a beautiful none career sabotaging episode

One thing i love about Akon, he will speak very very highly of Africa every chance he gets.

Its high time South Africans get together, sit down and see what we can do for MacG. The man is a legend and should be protected at all costs.

The fact Akon went back to his home country doing all these projects for development without announcing or making a noise about it he packed left for Africa.💪🏾

Let's all stream Amirah music so she sees the power of PAC.

It feels like Akon chilled with the Podcast team way too many times before.......the energy is insane!

I like that Sol didn't just "insert" himself in this interview, he was laid back and "allowed" Macto do his thing. Best duo interviews are like a dance. Well done guys.

Best American interview on this trip so far. Very organic and natural talk from the get go

Damn, i didn't know AKON was this cool and chilled. He is very open,well spoken and smart👌🏽 Dope interview🔥🔥🔥African brother✊🏾

Yooooh. I can't believe I've just watched this. This podcast is the future and that's why I pay every month

The biggest podcast in Africa having a conversation with the biggest artist in Africa. What a legend. ❤We love you Akon

Akon came with good energy....👏👏👏👏

Mac killed the interview. Im so proud

The best interview in this channel THIS YEAR. MacG is bloody good - he was simply on a different level here! Ndaaa...

Nobody promotes Africa better than AKON 🌍

MacG and Sol really need to tour often, em boyz do a better job than most of the American/British interviewers

"The water broke in Africa and that's what birthed her career" ... Sol Phenduka

It’s crazy that we interview International Artists now 😢🌊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

MacG with asking uncomfortable questions he takes number one.😂

MacG carried this interview, respect 🎉

You could honestly tell that Akon wanted to do this interview unlike that first that we dont even know! this was a great interview and they all gelled well together.

This is one of the best episodes I have ever watched. Akin is the kind of man I'd sit with for hours. He is a Wiseman

"Bro we running music right now. If you popping in South Ahh,you popping"- AKA🙌

My Sol looked lost vandag...today i saw the experience in MacG...Sol was star struck 😂😂😂😂😂😂

That "Haikhona" slipped out😆😆🤣

you see, these are the kind of interviews that boom, because it's a genuine conversation where you don't need to be prepared even, you just podcast and chill. one for the books. 👏

One of the most free flowing interviews ,so amazing

I love how Akon is free to engage Mac and sol .......I wish a lot of people who come to the podcast can be as free as he is

As self employed person, I learned something very important on this platform. Time and promoting your business. Ndia livhuwa Mac G , ndi ngazwo ndi chi follower man.

Water did break in Africa , it went crazy after her performance in Rwanda .. js saying 🙌🏽🔥shoutout to Tyla!

there's just something different or a touch, when Interviews are done by MacG and Sol Phenduka. Gotla respect them

Akin is so open..I wish our celebrations could learn a thing or two from him

This is by far the best interview. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Akon was so free and engaging.

Lol Akon cutting Mac to answer his questions before he even finishes lol

This interview is major! Well done, Podcast and Chill!!!! ❤

One thing about Mac,he'll pull up wearing crocs 😂😂

Watching all the way from Namibia 🇳🇦.. Thank you podcast and chill team.. I am star struck 🤩. Grew up listening and loving @Akon’s songs..

The moment when Akon catches Sol's "So you haven't done time?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

As Africans this was one of those reminders that as much as we look towards Black Americans, we should be wise enough to know what to leave behind and not take seeing how it’s not working even for them. The slay queen, champagne poppin, stripper, equality between men and woman culture. Too many single parents in Southa hopefully kuzovukwa emaqandeni before it’s too late 🤟

I met Akon in 2018 NBA games in Rosebank his big security guard tried stopping me from talking to him but he was like let him come through he even stood up and took selfie with, at that moment I saw how humble he is.

This was a beautiful interview..love to see Akon supporting our African brothers... SOL has smart humour

This was beautiful 😊 Africans are moving strongly together in the ryt direction.

Mac no doubt has to be one of the best interviewers of all time 😂.

Was a beautiful episode all together. You will see those local celebrities who refused to come, begging for interviews now that we have gotten the biggest artist as far as music is concern globally.

Is this not beautiful? African children working together like this. There is so much we can achieve together

Best AKON Interview Off All Time.

Mac G is happy Akon is rymhing to the realities in our modern day women.

Akon is such a humble and relatable person...From working with the biggest brands in the world to sitting with a man who started talking to two people on a tablet...this level of humility is unmatched...Thank you Mac and Sol for a good interview

As South Africans I think we need to be worried about how we are always perceived as people who think/behave as americans/europians. Akon indirectly said we tend to be the last ones to notice things happening in Africa due to our behavior.

Let me break it down to y'all... Mac is interviewing a man who did a duet with Michael Jackson... Mac is goated, period❤🎉

The more modern our Afrikans get, the more the %s of single parent households & this just shows how far we are from our roots.

This girl can really sing hey, i just listened her songs on spotify the new ep... She's talented indeed..... Let's show her the power of chillers by streaming her music

what makes Macg's interview interesting... it's his ability to penetrate through the soul... This guy is talented

The quality of this visual ✨… top tier 👌🏽

Akon "she has a beautiful heart" Mac "you would know huh! " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Those sneaky jabs 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don’t know why I so resistant to watch this episode I almost missed a lot,Akon is a free spirit man may God help & strengthen what he has started 🙏🏾

😳😳Guys I've not yet listened to a thing but I'm here in awe, jaws dropping... MacG, Sol who are you? (In Somizi's Voice)

That was it? Bro i literally blinked twice and it was over 😂. Ngl I really enjoyed this podcast

Bone Thugs n Harmony ft Akon _i tried so hard It's like am taking 5 steps forward and 10 steps back 😔😭life is really hard on me. Am happy for macg and sol because they are big inspiration to me,how their life turned around. Hoping and believing that mine too will change when I find a job. Big up guys for this interview, Akon is a good guy, I hope I can meet him one day.

This conversation Podcast just entered My TOP 10 BEST!!!🎙🌍

big ups to the team , you can see Akon was into this interview

Big ups Mac, Sol and the Chillers. Amazing interview.

Sol's "let her cook" line was gold 😂😂😂 I choked on my tea

"We will be born, and then he would ship us right back"😭😭🤣

Mac g podcast is the number 1 podcast among podcasts in the world 👌👌👌👑🏆

Yooh Akon Explained Women so very well and spot on...

Nice one McG👏👏 I have no words for this one, EXCEPT that this is best podcast in the WORLD!!!🙀🙀🙀

You guys are what the next generation must study. Against all adversity, Mac , you soldiered on and gave us a place to congregate in twice a week. Your passion has taken you to places you didn’t think you’d be in such a short time, yes eventually you would have been, but in God speed it happened. Keep keeping on my brother, you are truly inspirational. I single you out because of what you endured and openly put others on. Sol would have made it, but you played a huge part in helping his renaissance and that’s a fact. Ghostie is your day 1 and a true believer. Stay blessed with the whole team. Hendaaa 🙌🏽

When l started watching this episode, it was at 11000 views,, im finishing now its at 27000😂😂😂😂… thats power

There’s no excuse for babies twerking , no generation should make that normal. Good interview and energy.

Mzekezeke once told JaRule gore Tembisa is more hood and gangster than the Ghetto 😂

You can deny Akon is one of us.The energy and vibe😂🔥🔥🔥

the chemistry between you guyz an akon bafe2 is amazing

"There was the mystery." Yes! I miss that about the stars & the internet just made them too accessible for my liking. I miss the song book days, the thrill of cd drops, short star interviews, etc.

Sol looking like Akon's friend who tagged along to McG's podcast 😂

Akon fits so perfectly with this guys. Its like someone they are always chilling with.

This episode was a bomb. Loved it. Well done guys, proud of Sol, Mac and the team, you guys are gone

Best International Interview 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thanks for this MacG🙌🏾 appreciate this episode. I loved this guy growing up, getting an up close interview and hear his thoughts and all. Loved it🙏🏾

After watching this episode… justice gets served when you go listen to Akon’s joint “I’m so paid”

What a beautiful episode. This is one of the greatest and easiest interviews.

Best international episode by Far

I love how careful Akon is he is avoiding in all means possible, not to be quoted out of context

Dope episode man bigger things are coming for podcast and chill lets all watch the space wow!

Sol's pun game is always A 💯✈️ AFRICAN TIME!

Make some noise for podcast & chill👏👏👏

We gotta admit, Macg and the podcast are big now. They're international 🏌‍♂️

Yooh This platform is growing stronger by the Day

You will underestimate Mac J until he has to stand up and represent the podcast.

Mac and Sol,onwards and upwards brothers 🙏🙏Enjoyed the interview ❤

8min in and I can tell that this interview is going to be good...I might just finish the episode

Akon is smart and so chilled we need to support him more Africa stand up for Akon especially 🇿🇦

This was a wholesome episode... Seeing Akon showing love to the gents and the continent was heartwarming...

I can't believe I'm 6days late to this African Master class!!!!!!!
