19:27 Eminem great story

Akon will go down in the african history books 🐐 legend

I love how true a friend Akon is to Michael. So many celebs have crawled under rocks and no longer defend him. Akon has always stood up for him. A true friend is someone who defends you when not in your presence and Akon is the ultimate definition of this.

Eminem really said ight imma head out

That Eminem story actually is a good way to look at things

Eminem hasn't done a real US tour since 2005 and world tour since 2003. He adopted Kim's drug addict sister's daughter (Alana), and eventually the girl Kim conceived while they were apart. He also stayed their dad after the 2nd divorce, plus he took custody of his 1/2 brother Nate and raised him too. Love or hate him, he deserves respect.

Here for my Man Michael Jackson 💓 Love you! Innocent Forevaa!

Thank god for Akon comin in there tellin the truth about Michael jackson after all the slander hot 97 participated in

Omg Akon thank you ! Finally someone with common sense. Thank you for defending Michael ! The more research you do into the cases against Michael the more you see the evidence that he was clearly an easy target It was all for money They used the one innocent thing that he love genuinely and turn it into something completely sick and disgusting. I have to agree with Ebro on that they definitely took advantage of Michael.

I respect this man more than anybody.

RIP Michael Jackson. The greatest humanitarian and artist of all time

Akon is a very smart African entrepreneur we need more people like him

I see akon, I click.

Akon, great respect. I always knew you were a good guy. I even heard your songs today. thank you for defending Michael

Thank you so much akon you do great job defending Michael hugs and kisses to you

Akon dressed like a very successful golfer...glad to see he doing well

Akon is a legend.

I love Akon for defending Michael

It’s different when MJ flys you out

Starts talking bout Michael Jackson @ 12:40.

All jokes aside people really need to stop disrespecting Michael Jackson. I generally find it shocking how many people even entertain the idea of how those accusations are true without even an ounce of factual evidence

Thank you for not giving into social justice/media peer pressure, Akon. You are truly appreciated. It takes guts to defend him these days.

Really enjoyed this interview with Akon. Loved his stories and nice to hear someone speaking sense. Thanks for sticking up for Michael. Fantastic!

Here just for hearing Akon talks about MICHAEL JACKSON ♥️ 🔥 greetings from Bolivia 🇧🇴 ❤️

Ebro interviewing skills on point👌🏾showing luv str8 from Toronto, Canada

The interviewers are so down to earth about MJ. Ignorance is a crime.

I like the Akon-Eminem part. Treating music like a daily job!!.

Pause it, and you can hear Lord Jamar screaming, "Eminem ain't do nothing for the culture!!!! "

The man is seriously loyal to his roots. Hats off to him

Love the way Akon didn't wuss out and defended Michael Jackson !!!#RESPECT

So glad I heard the part about em. I been over working.

This was a phenomenal interview...Akon is a smart and intelligent man!! Respect👌🏿

Great interview! A bunch of knowledge dropped!

Respect to Akon for laying a solid foundation in and promoting Africa. Much love for defending MJ. True son of African soil 👑

Akon should really talk more about teaching our culture how to invest. they always had their game from the jump but nobody ever taught us the rules and i think its about time we catch up. Gonna learn more about why i should or how i could invest in africa when i get money.

I love this interview man. Very refreshing

Thanks akon, I'm African and proud of you

Good job guys! One of the best interviews by far.

Ebro that Buju Banton shirt is fire

I love seeing more and more people doing their research about MJ. The more you look into it, the more you see just how innocent this man is.

Michael Jackson is innocent. Let ebro know

Wonderful interview/ and great job what akon is doing in Africa giving resources to those who need it✌👍

i feel like they will soon trying to disscredit akons name or try to take him out because hes waking up young african minds like myself ...... thank you akon true legend in music and outside of music

Great interview! Love every second of it!👍👏

First ever comment on KZfaq. I got into Michael Jackson's music only as recently as last year. Love everything about him especially watching his live performances. Wanted to learn more about him so I've spent hours doing research about the accusations and his court cases and depositions. Just from looking into the evidence about the main accusers anyone would come to the conclusion he is absolutely innocent. What I wanted to bring up, however, is what my intuition tells me. From getting to know the person MJ was from watching countless interviews, I can just tell he was a very pure, kind soul. Someone like MJ who spent most of his free time on tour visiting hospitals of sick children would simply not abuse them. He even said himself that he would have busloads of leukemia and cancer kids come to Neverland to enjoy themselves when they otherwise wouldn't have such opportunities. He did this quietly and didnt boast or brag about it in a look at me and what I'm doing type of way. He also payed for treatment for countless terminally ill children. Also just from watching interviews you can get a sense of his personality. He was a kind, gentle, caring person who believed in things like world peace and he loved people of all walks of life. My point is someone with these traits just wouldn't be an abuser or an evil person. This is totally separate from the research you can find out about some of the circumstances of the people involved in the allegations against him. Watch interviews and your intuition or gut feeling should tell you he just isn't anything close to how he has been portrayed by the media

So many gems in this interview!

Years back, I knew that Akon was beyond the music. I stopped having mentors after realizing that humans disappoint your impression of them to the point where it leaves you scarred for life,but, I actually go on KZfaq most times, to watch Akon talk. He is so real, I don't know how to express my great love for him without evoking a negative perception. Funny enough, like his desire and appreciation for working with Michael Jackson, I think if I ever found myself in a room with him, I'd probably have achieved one of the greatest feats of my life. I don't care how that sounds to anyone, this is me and my thoughts.😂

Really enjoyed this interview, From Malawi - Africa.

AKON ❤️s MJ thank you man, big respect. Thank you for standing against real predators and standing up for victims like MJ.

Ebro earned my respect, glad he asked akon to come to his stage because they both understand the subject and background of America and Africa 💯

Africa is great land am half Senegalese my father from Senegal. I happy that Akon is helping Africa. My plan is to visit Senegal one day .

As an African the only other thing that hurts us from within the most is the nonsensical politics. Anyone that's from Africa definitely knows what am talking about 🤔🌍😒😏

Shout out to Akon for holding down MJ. Also, I think that’s pretty dope how Eminem treats his unique job like a regular 9-5 lol. Dude is still real humble. Despite hw famous, legendary and rich he is... I can’t really say that about most rappers these days, even the regular legit 9-5’er’s.

So nobody’s gonna talk about how educated Ebro is ? Shout out Old Man. From an African living in the US.

This entrepreneurial talk is heavy! Wow. Smart young brother.

Very cool Micheal Jackson called him. Cool. Micheal has a deep voice cool nice I never knew that. Very cool . nice. Hahahah cool. I Like how he talks about M J. Akon is funny and as well nice. That is awesome. That you stand up for Micheal Jackson. That is very nice. Good for you Akon! Yes exacly it was for himself. Because he never had a childhood I agree. With akon and I love candy too lol.

Akon's laugh should be a meme lmao. Great interview btw

Omg Akon and Chris Tucker could be brothers. I never noticed that until now 😂

I swear i haven't even started seeing the video . N i can tell u this akon man. Is a true hero for the people trust. He does everything.. for humanity.. n sharing wealth. God bless my brother. May god help u in ur journey. Inshuallah

ay man redo this interview ya'll akon out here giving out all his info man.

every time I see AKON wearing his hat, I automatically feel like putting mine on. so classic!

Akon is so mature, fan, bright, and... just legendary. Wow.

Eminem the type of dude to body an entire sixteen layered with complex multi-syllable rhyme schemes and flow switches at 150 BPM and then just leave the studio like nothing happened.

Hi cant get enough of akon I can listen to him talk whole day ,will like to hear some advice from him on how to do business 🥰

this dude a real one ❤️🙏🏼

I love Akon. So humble and beautiful human💜

That Em story was classic 😂. Akon is a Legend for sure n he always sounds a great guy on the mic.

Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦

Ebro know the inside scoop about Africa, that's dope!

Eminem @19:30

Intelligent conversation about everything I MOST definitely enjoy that very much also 20 years currency will be history

Thanks ako. For defending mj

Damn I feel relieved after hearing him say that he schedules it like a job and does not try to force his work of being creative in the studio. I always press myself way to hard to write my music but now I don't need to anymore. Thanks Akon and Eminem!

When people are so desensitized they think being friends with children is a flaw. It's not a flaw. Yes there are people who would take advantage of an innocent child but theres a lot of us who really care and thats what children need because we dont know if they are or they are not getting any love and care at home.

The Legend Akon Love & proud of U Sénégal 🇸🇳

Ebro, good job! I will be listening from now on.

Akon always stood up for mike, michael was and always will be innocent based on facts

Akon is fully a legend & gets know where nere the recognition he deserves. Salute to the changes hes making in africa #LightupAfrica thats real Legacy.

akon really a bigger legend than i thought fr

Much love, superior logic ✔💯🎉

Great interview

I have been listening to Akon since I was a kid from 2004 till now... He's a Legend ♥️

19 : 50 the Eminem story..... I love it

13:22 lol Pharrell did the same thing when MJ called him one time

That guy will go down in history as a GOD

Love that em story!

Amon,s got such a fantastic mind he talks so much sense it’s refreshing to here him

Thank you Akon for telling the truth ! They try to distroy his legacy but people are less and less brainwashed by social media.

I had to go listen to “ I tried” real quick, Akon the goat fasho

Keep going Akon. Nice work.

Africa needs young leaders. The problem in South Africa alone, is that we’re sitting with unemployed Graduates, while these old people are literally falling asleep in parliament

Am in first i like this brother as a african native

Family is important .

Best interview, interesting as well

My former production partner and I produced and engineered a song for an artist that ended up getting Akon and a couple of artists on it that weren't initially planned for and this was back when media outlets were trying to put a negative image on him so we didn't know what to expect and the guy was a true professional, nothing but class and pretty damn brilliant so I'm not surprised that he has all these successful business ventures going for himself and I'm really happy for him. He's a "real" person.

27:10 that "that might be now" got me too🤣🤣🤣💀

Much respect to Akon. And Michael Jackson always been the victim. #MJInnocent

Damn, I leaned a lot from this video within 10 minutes of it.

Akon well said. Africa is actually the continent for the world to be focusing on. More opportunities abound especially with the natural resources. I currently run solar energy in my home and in talks with my friend on solid mineral resources production. Love from Lagos and to my families in Brooklyn.

Notice the change of subject when Akon shuts down the MJ nonsense. Interviewer mentions that he felt it was weird seeing Michael holding hands with kids. How did he see it, was he there. Clearly there were loads of journalists and paparazzi in Neverland filming.
