However, Akon clarified that he did not mean to hurt the sentiments of the poor or anyone who is getting offended. He also added that he is not taking back the comments he made. He said that no one could blame him as he has gone through his share of struggles as a poor African kid, playing football in his village with no water and electricity. The singer said that he was talking about his own experiences with the comments that he had made.

Michael K. Williams was found dead in the dining room of his place, and the reason cited was a drug overdose. Akon said that there are more rich people committing suicide by overdosing themselves on drugs. He stated that it is “not the money, but the mindset” that is killing people. He also mentioned that he was happier when he was a poor little kid. The singer said that wealth promotes jealousy and breeds evil.
