Screw Akon, I guess

Screw Akon, I guess

...did you want him to come out even though the fans were actively evacuating? Yeah, that wouldn't cause any issues with the evacuation at all

Do you think he called the threat in himself...?

Screw that guy, whoever he is, for performing in a country that is invading a neighbour without any provocation. By doing so he gives legitimacy to the criminal Putin regime.

par of the course for him, i guess, look up akon city

it's just something that attracts grifters to russia ig

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 28 points 8 months ago

he shouldn't have been having a concert in ruzzia in the first place is the point being made

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 25 points 8 months ago

He could try NOT performing in a country performing a hostile war and active genocide. I feel like that's not too much to ask.

He's a US citizen, what's he doing in Russia. I understood it was prohibited to travel there?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

he's a dual citizen of the us and Senegal
