Is akon gay

Ah, the music of the noughties; what glorious times those were.

Remember belting out ‘Replay' from your tinny phone, so you and your friends could sing along on the way home from school, or spending Saturday mornings watching music videos from Black Eyed Peas, Amy Winehouse, and Eminem - those were absolute bangers.

And naturally, the decade simply wouldn't have felt complete without Akon and his distinctive music.

From tracks such as ‘Lonely' all the way to ‘Smack That', Akon certainly had some absolute bangers during the 2000s - albeit some containing pretty NSFW (Not Safe For Work) references.

It would appear that they'll continue to exist perpetually too, as Akon is standing firm in his decision to decline altering the highly explicit song lyrics of one particular track almost two decades following its initial release.

At the time, irrespective of how young many of us happened to be, we would belt out these rather risqué lyrics without giving it a second thought - frequently not even grasping their true implications.

However, as things have gradually evolved over the intervening years, certain elements now seem somewhat more awkward, and for a segment of the population, outright inappropriate.

‘I Wanna Love You' featuring Snoop Dogg initially hit the airwaves way back in October of 2006 while originally carrying the title ‘I Wanna Fk You'.

I mean, I suppose Akon is just saying it exactly as it is.

During the smash-hit song, the artist Akon can be heard delivering lyrics such as: 'I see you winding and grinding up on that pole. I know you see me looking at you and you already know, I wanna fk you.'

And Akon seemingly harbors absolutely no regrets regarding the NSFW lyrics, telling Metro that he views it ‘like it was a part of who [he] was and is who [he is]'.

'As time goes on, I believe individuals will experience change. As maturity sets in, people tend to make contrasting decisions regarding the matters they are currently addressing," he elucidated.

'I would under no circumstances endorse anyone altering their history, given that their history constitutes the foundation upon which they construct their identity; it essentially molds them into their present selves. Nevertheless, for the majority, I embrace the entirety of it, and I perceive that the embrace of what that was, lyrically speaking at that specific juncture, was indispensable for my evolution into my current state.'

'I can definitively say that I harbor absolutely no regrets.'

Just in case you might have the desire to feel truly ancient, over two decades have elapsed since he unveiled the album entitled Trouble, which showcased that very banger known as ‘Lonely' alongside additional tracks such as ‘Locked Up' and ‘Ghetto'.

'Oh, my goodness gracious. I failed to recognize that twenty years had sailed right past me. Really? That's simply wild," he expressed.

'The sensation felt incredibly surreal to me due to the fact that I was genuinely struggling to accept that two decades have actually elapsed - even to this very day, it doesn't necessarily [feel like that much time has passed].'

Indeed, Akon, it truly does not.
