Akon is getting heat for misogynistic and cringey remarks during his appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast last September. The Senegalese-American entertainer told his hosts that women aren’t necessary for childbirth, and technology has finally made them redundant.
“The woman don’t create life, they support the creation of life,” he stated. “Men, we’re Gods. We’re the ones that create life. Let me give you the science of it. A man right now can create life without a woman… a woman can’t create life without a man. If I wanted to create life right now without a woman, I would just shoot my sperm, put it in an incubator, and just give it nine months… even maybe less with today’s science… a woman can’t do that.”
Akon then proceeded to say the sexes are mixed up, especially in the United States as opposed to Africa. “Men have lost the idea of the power they actually possess and passed it to the woman,” he said at one point. “Here in America, the men are afraid of their power.”
“The roles are very defined,” he continued. “It’s very clean. Like here, Even if you say the word ‘role’ to a woman here they’ll get offended,” he said. “Yo, play your role, and let me play mine. ‘Role? What the f-ck you mean, role?’ Like everyone has a role. There’s an infrastructure to life.”
The usually boisterous Budden remained quiet through most of Akon’s breakdown. But around the 20:48 mark, he motioned to the cameraman and said the following: “Aye, cut me out this whole scene… like put this right on them two (Lamar “Ice” Burney, Antwan “Ish” Marby)!”
The release of Akon’s statements comes shortly after his similarly strange interview with ZeZe Mills last month. At that time, the 49-year-old performer said that anything a man does beyond financials, like attending his children’s extracurricular events, is “a White man’s thing.”

Akon is an idiot.
Stop having children with men that are dumb. This is so embarrassing. https://t.co/mIbKQQlFVL— oh. ok. (@Cleaningout2020) January 17, 2023

Y’all did #Akon really say that a man can put his sperm in an incubator and create a baby without any help from a woman? No egg, just sperm? pic.twitter.com/WMMAUh5aGg

In other news, Akon thinks he can incubate his sperm for “nine months or less” and make a baby.

Akon said you can put sperm in an air fryer and a baby will be born in 9 months. I want him and his lace front out of my sight.

Akon has launched into a shocking rant about gender equality where he claimed that men are ‘the diving kings of the universe’ and women are only here to support them.

The fact Akon really think you only need sperm to reproduce human life is insane lol. Who was his biology
teacher? All that money and he don’t know the basic biology
of reproduction. I’m tired of him and his Tupee this week. Let’s do the math egg
+ sperm makes baby. pic.twitter.com/9GuDmBV6VO

Y’all really got to give this male versus female narratives a rest. There can be no life without either. This is why families are breaking apart. Spouses are competing for superiority over one another instead of working together for the betterment of the household.
