Singer Akon is talking about relocating back to Africa if Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama doesn’t win his bid for the White House. The R&B singer isn’t the only star making these statements.
Seal, Susan Sarandon and Michael Stipe are a few other celebrities who have said they will flee the US under a Republican government. Akon was quoted saying;
“If he (Obama) doesn’t get into office, I am going to change my citizenship. I am moving back to Africa. You can hold me to that. I am afraid to live there if he (McCain) is President.
Akon isn’t fond of McCain but he’s equally skeptical of his running mate Sarah Palin.
“I don’t think he is going to last 8 years so she’s definitely going to be President. Oh my goodness – that’s scarier.”
It will be interesting to see what happens if McCain can pull off a victory. Then we’ll see who was just blowing smoke.
