I didn't find it awkward, and I thought Akeem handled it well. To me, the handshake was the most endearing moment- I interpreted it as Akeem showing a true appreciation of the honesty Hussain had shown, as well as for the genuine friendship and respect being expressed for him. I was touched by Hussain's words and feelings, and by Akeem's response.

As you've said, Akeem is such a lovely, positive person and so underestimated. He has so many positive qualities.
