I’m a backer of the right to believe what you want to believe” says Akon, speaking on Kanye West’s anti-Semitic comments – adding that if he spoke with Kanye he’d “give him my point of view on why I disagree” because ‘communication is key‘.

Because I think sometimes when someone is offended they just lash out in defense or lash out to make that person feel that same offense that they felt,” he continued.

I think when you take negative and you applied the response negatively back, you only get negative back.”

Akon concluded: “So I think it’s really a matter of both understanding what it is. Don’t take things too personally until you really understand the situation.”
