Badara Akon Thiam, African-American record producer, says he is not finding jokes about the perceived “forthcoming world war 3” funny.

Apparently uncomfortable with the trend, the showbiz mogul took to Twitter to wonder when talks of “war becomes a thing to laugh about”, most especially when “a lot of lives are at stake on all sides.”

“All these joke memes about WW3 coming isn’t funny. A lot of lives are at stake on all sides, When did ANY war become comical?” Akon wrote.

“I never left music alone, cause, when I was in Africa, I was building the Afrobeats scene. When I first went out there in 2008, I signed Wizkid and I was doing lots of consulting for lots of artistes. I signed Davido, Psquare. Davido was like my little brother.”
