AceShowbiz - Akon apparently doesn't have hard feelings towards Tekashi69 (6ix9ine) for testifying against is two Nine Trey Gang Blood affiliates for the federal government. In a new interview, the "Smack That" rapper praises the incarcerated star for being honest.
"He comes from a generation that really had no moral ethic. This generation is nothing like our generation coming up," the 46-year-old hip-hop icon said to Capital Xtra in an interview, which was published on November 6. "Our generation, we had rules, there were certain boundaries that you don't cross. There was a certain line of respect that we had for each other."
"There was always a level of selfishness that we just only kept to our self. Like we never gave up each other for our own freedom because we are expecting him for him to do the same for us," he continued defending the "FEFE" hitmaker.
On 6ix9ine snitching on his former Nine Trey associates Anthony "Harv" Ellison and Aljermiah "Nuke" Mack in September, Akon said, "Now Tekashi is a little different. I can't really speak on why he would do that. Most likely for the obvious reasons, but everyone goes through something in their life that propels them to do things that they feel is in the best interest of themselves."
"You can't really blame him if what he is saying is the truth. Now granted there's this big rule that you never talk, you never speak to the police, you don't rat. I get it," he added. "But, at the end of the day, if it's true, and he said it, it is what it is. Now if you feel some kind of way that he said it, that's a personal problem between y'all got to do according to what y'all decided what the rules were."
Akon also shared that he wasn't "so quick to judge him because I don't know exactly what's happening behind closed doors that may not be explained or maybe out to the public to know." He went on saying, "But as a man, you can only respect somebody that does what they think is best for them and their families. But at the same time you also got to know who you are doing business with if you are going to do something illegal."
