Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Senegalese-born singer and entrepreneur, Akon has exclaimed that he was much happier when he was poor and this is attributed to the fact that he has realized that life is tougher for the rich than the poor.
Akon’s statement comes in the wake of the death of Nollywood actor Michael K. Williams’ which sadly occurred back in September 2021.
The Konvict Music boss had used Williams’ death to make point that the more money one makes, the more problems they encounter.
Speaking in an interview with TMZ, captured on Ghbase.com he said, “Nobody can sit there and tell me, that I didn’t go through poverty. I was the young African kid, barefoot and playing soccer in the village with no electricity, no running water, I knew what that looked like – believe me, I know what poverty looks like.
But I also know what success looks like, and from my personal experience, I’m having more problems successfully dealing with all that comes with success than I had when I was poor. I was actually happier when I was poor.”
