In this clip, Akon opened up about his father having 5 wives and 18 siblings. He spoke about the cultural importance of having such a huge family and the contrasting logic underwriting that form of family versus the nuclear family in the US. According to Akon, family isn’t valued the same in America, which makes it difficult to see anything past a monogamous setup.
