‘Men are not not built to be committed,’ Akon speaks on polygamy

Senegalese-American singer Aliaune Thiam, popularly known as Akon has claimed that men are not naturally wired to be committed to one woman romantically.

The 53-year-old singer, while speaking with The Shade Room, explained his claim, stating that men were created to populate. Akon stressed that being monogamous defeats the purpose of creation.

“Men aren’t committed. We’re not built to be committed. We’re natural breeders by nature, right? Okay. We populate because that’s how God created us. So we can’t be committed to one, two, three. That’s not ours; we’re not wired to be committed. Faithfulness is something totally different. I could be with a chick and be with her forever through all the problems. No matter what, I can find the baddest chick alive and have my main chick, and I’m just using this as an example,” he said.

Akon further spoke on faithfulness and commitment, claiming that they are two entirely different concepts.

”I could be in a hotel, and she busts down the door, and I’m knee-deep in there, and I’m going to jump off and be like, ‘Babe, I don’t even know her.’ She’s out of here. Like, I wouldn’t even know her. She means nothing to me because this is what I’m faithful to. But just hear me out. How many men do you know who will fight for that one because of the mistake they made with something that didn’t matter to them? That’s faithfulness. That’s creating that energy to fight for it. Now commitment, we are guilty. We’re not committed. We’ll be with multiple women,” he added.
