Rapper and R&B star Akon claimed in a recent interview that he is “very seriously” considering mounting a presidential bid in 2020. “I’ve been thinking about running for 2020 very seriously,” Akon told Newsweek. “But I didn’t want to just do it because I feel like I want to continue doing what I’m doing and hope that builds me enough momentum [for people] to say, ‘You know what, if you run we’ll support you.'”
Akon, whose real name is Aliaune Damala Badara Thiam, was born in St. Louis, Missouri and spent much of his childhood in Senegal. The 45-year-old entrepreneur, who is developing plans for a futuristic cryptocurrency-run city in West Africa, suggested President Donald Trump’s immigration policies have help nudged him toward launching a White House run.
“I feel a lot more unsafe. I feel unempowered. Honestly, I feel it’s gonna be a fight,” the singer said of a possible bid. “I feel like I should be always prepared for the unexpected. I feel very uncomfortable. And I feel a lot of Americans do; even some white Americans feel that way because they’re watching backlash of his decisions. It’s not what’s happening now, because it’s clear it’s creating a whole bunch of divide today.”

Sorry, chief. We've already had an African pseudo-American elected. Didn't work out.
Here are some of Akon’s song lyrics. Yet another Dem candidate for the #Metoo generation.
I feel you creepin’, I can see you from my shadow
Wanna jump up in my Lamborghini Gallardo?
Maybe go to my place and just kick it like Tae Bo?
And possibly bend you over?
Look back and watch me
Smack that, all on the floor
Smack that, give me some more
Smack that, ‘til you get sore
Smack that, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sorry, mr Rapper dude. The nomination is currently locked up by an old white woman. You have no chance.
Are there any white Democrats under the age of 70 running for president in 2020?
Akon, just another big-mouthed idiot N!
Eat your heart out, Keats.
Ghettocrats Party
Another loser, barking like a dog in heat...
Break it down, Comacho!
Why would Breitbart even post such complete and utter nonsense?
Do you think the political pundits will refer to the Democrat primary contenders as a “clown car,” like they did with the Republicans? (Rhetorical Question)
In their case, however, the description will be apt. Maybe “tippy toes” can switch parties so he can pull that stunt while standing next to Bloomberg (who will be running).
If all his speeches were delivered in rap style it would be entertaining at least.
Akon, who fake-raped a young girl during a “performance” on a stage in Brazil a few years back?
Cool... bring it on.
Hell never make it out of the primaries
“Rapper Akon ‘Very Seriously’ Considering Challenging Trump in 2020”

What could go wrong?!
Considering I suck at Basketball and am only 5’8”, I should try out for the NBA too.
Clearly they are a non-diverse organization.
68% of registered voters answered “A city in Ohio”.
