Senegalese-American singer Akon has shared his perspective on relationships, stating that men are not naturally built for monogamy.
Speaking in an interview with The Shade Room, the artist said he believes monogamy does not align with human nature, particularly for men.
He explained that men may have a natural inclination toward multiple attractions, which he said differs from emotional commitment in a relationship.

Akon drew a distinction between commitment and faithfulness, describing faithfulness as maintaining emotional loyalty to one partner despite external attractions, while noting that commitment to a single partner can be challenging.
He added that emotional loyalty remains central to a relationship, emphasising that individuals can experience attraction to others while choosing not to act on those feelings.
He said, “We’re not committed. We’re not built to be committed. We’re natural builders by nature, right? Okay. We populate because that’s how God created us to be. So we can’t be committed to one, or two, or three, or whatever. It’s not our thing.
"We’re not wired to be committed. But if faithfulness is something totally different. I can 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. Could be in a hotel, and she busts down the door, and I’m knee-deep in there, I’m gonna jump up like, I didn’t even know her!
“I wouldn’t even know her. She means nothing to me because this is what I’m faithful to. That’s faithfulness, that’s creating that energy to fight for it. Now, commitment, we… we’re guilty. We’re not committed. We’re gonna be with multiple women. That’s just who we are. We can’t… that’s nature”.
