Akon Believes Donald Trump Has Made Him & Other Americans Targets

Akon believes Trumps' new immigration ban has put big targets on him & other celebs.

It appears Akon is feeling some type of way now that President Trump is in office & already making shock waves by signing the new immigration ban over the weekend. Considering his busy travel schedule, Akon believes Trump has put a target on his head for when he leaves the United States.

It’s not just Americans Akon thinks is in trouble either. He also says Canadians, including Drake & Justin Bieber, should be cautious as well because foreigners lump each other together (U.S. & Canada).  

Akon went on to further say he doesn’t think Trump thought his Presidency run all the way through, and doesn’t understand the power behind his actions & words as President right now.

Akon and O.T. Genasis link up in the video for DJ Whoo Kid's "Ride Daddy."

At this point, Akon and O.T. Genasis are both proven hitmakers, so it makes sense why DJ Whoo Kid would put them on the same track. As soon as Akon enters, it's like he never left the radio, putting together a hook that's as explicit as it is catchy -- the recipe for many of his best tracks. As for O.T., he brings his own melodies to the table offsetting Akon's precise belting with a more casual auto-tuned rap-centric contribution. 

The song appears on Akon's Konvict Kartel Vol. 1 project, which was released late last year. Does it have hit potential?
