The Most Slept On CEO From T-Pain & Lady Gaga 🐐
Lady Gaga can dive into a couple genres(Pop/Classical/Jazz).
Akon is one of the best believer in ppl. Including Dr.Dre.. God bless everyone on this show
A Real Creator.........of Great lasting Music
Mad Respect..
A true Friend & Business Person
gaga is so dope
Bad romance was on the second album.
The Fame Monster was a re release of The Fame, kinda like B Sides but darker. Born This Way is technically the second album.. but alot of people consider TFM to be second so whatever 😂 Gaga made her Millions ✨
@@chromatica1234 yeah i know but it was a new era and was made after the fame so its technically more of a 2nd album. I think gaga kinda considers that her second album too.
Funny how in 2013 Akon badmouthed her thinking her career had already peaked but since then she released a Jazz album with Tony Bennett, won an Oscar, performed at the Super Bowl, leading actress in ‘A Star is Born’ and released ‘Shallow’ which was a GLOBAL hit and her most recent tour, The Chromatica Ball had 20 tour dates and she made $112 Million in total.... and now she’s getting ready for her Harley Quinn role in Joker 2 with Joaquin Phoenix.
Your point??
Akon helped her, pls show me where he badmouthed her, mate stop spreading rumours
house of gucci?
He wouldn’t have gotten paid off none of that … what’s your point?
No not harley quinn
at the start, record labels use and abuse the talent any way they possibly can...now artists are much much smarter. Think back...Elvis and Colonel, for instance. He took more than 50% of everything Elvis made....well, it's life
This is why you got to get a good manager.
Look at Eminem and Paul Rosenberg.
Just a minor correction for the record:
Lady Gaga's chart-topping song "Bad Romance" was not featured on her 2008 debut album, "The Fame." Gaga's international hit, "Bad Romance," was, in fact, the lead single from her critically acclaimed deluxe edition/reissue of "The Fame," which was released in 2009 as a standalone EP. Gaga later released her second studio album entitled "The Fame Monster," in which the chart-topping hit song "Bad Romance" became her most globally popular song with worldwide success, followed by her second world tour, The Monster Ball Tour, which is the highest-grossing tour for a debut headlining artist in history.
Now Gaga is a icon and worth more than Akon lol. I don’t think she likes Akon very much because she never mentions him in any award speeches or interviews.
Oh well. If it wasn't for Akon there would be no Gaga so go cry about that 😢
@@brentthompson1607 Sweetie, Akon couldn’t even keep himself relevant. You have to be a clown to believe a d-list celebrity made an a-lists celebrities career 💀. He was irrelevant when Gaga signed to him.
@@FriedPeaches- Akon was very popular in the 2000s, no one would agree that Akon was a D list celebrity when he signed Lady Gaga. And considering he was only musically active for a decade, he still managed to sell over 35 million albums. Doesn't sound like a D-list celebrity to me.
Am from East Africa, if you want to know Akon’s worth come to Africa. Akon is a billionaire in USD. He chills with Africa’s strongest presidents (They have a project with President Museveni implemented through one of Uganda’s richest man -Hamis Kigundu)
He is venturing into Agro processing with Hamis Kigundu, and the Ugandan government has also given him land for real estate 🏡 development near Africa largest lake Victoria.
Akon i have so much respect...🙌 I.Q level at highest levels...✊🔥💯
She was really interscope the whole time with Jimmy Iovine, Akon was her producer.
No….no live was an imprint under interscope please do ur research further more ALL OF THIS STUFF IS RESEARCHABLE, further more, this man has sold so many records(himself and other artists) why would he lie? He said what he said and it’s all facts
Konlive
Lady gaga was on kon live
No .. RedOne was her producer .. he even worked with her for free .. he's like the only one in the room who believed in her
@@rebelrebel2567 RedOne was signed to Akon.
Akon Humble >Leader !!! Respect !!!
Confront situation it's west coast on mines ,rip Mac dre...47 unheard tracks by 200 k baby

Ship
I’m confused. She definitely has more than 4 albums
The Fame 2008
The Fame Monster 2009
Born This Way 2011
ARTPOP 2O13
Cheek To Cheek' with Tony Bennett 2014
Joanne 2016
A Star Is Born (soundtrack) with Bradley Cooper 2018
Chromatica 2020
Love For Sale' with Tony Bennett 2021
Hes just playing. He knows she had more than 4
He said, he had her for 4 albums...not she only has 4 albums fam lol
He said she didn’t make it to 4 albums on his label. He sold her contract before the last album on their deal
@@Geeandrezzi Oh ok got it. Thank you
And if people
Look at music as a company it’s selling and making a new company
Bad romance was deff on the second album lmao
Strip club money 😂😂😂
“That’s beautiful” 😂
Hollywood and music industry pump out so many fake stories, Kady Gaga was already on the sopranos in a few episodes as a kid and attended a super wealth performing arts academy, she was already groomed to be a star from the begging as an industry plant, same thing with drake I remember someone claiming to have discovered drake off of a rap off myspace but he was already connected as well as a child star on Nickelodeon
Idk if they were joking but gaga def has more than 4 albums
I believe what they meant is the deal is 4 albums but it never happened.
We not laughing with you about retiring we need more music Akon expeditiously
She has 5 albums
Bad romance wasn’t in the first though 😢
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo
Wassup wit his hair lol
He has waves
He’s a robot.
Bro if you watched the full interview he has a hair transplant.
@@bradjohnson3458 well clearly I only watched this fucking clip
R we all going to pretend Akon isnt one of the smartest black people on media platforms?
What does his color has to do it? U say black and smart like its an oxymoron when in fact its the opposite
@@blackstarboy04 U want to over intellectualize the FACT that probable 90% of media personalities r numb skulls used mainly by european brands to further worsen the black condition. Kanye West is probably the only one using his fame effectively for the black cause. Go ahead and bury ur brain in sand!!!
Wtf does him being black have to do with this?
Still Akon needs money 💰
SO SAD 👏👏👏
And you don’t?! How stupid
Do you know the work that Akon does for his country? Check it out and then badmouth him. 😊
U talking crazy!!
Akon ain't never going broke just off his music alone
All that money he made and yet he still doing interviews…it’s never enough is it 😂
AND THE WINNER...
FOR THE MOST SENSELESS RETARDED COMMENT OF YEAR !
GOES TO........... SAMMY'S DUMBAS$
He does the interviews to promote his current business ventures genius. That’s why he continues to make money
reach for the star.... or go back to the hood
Damn!, People are stupid. Bill Gates does interviews and he is worth 500 Akons!
Meh
I’m glad he left she wasn’t happy
This interview did not age well. And I hope he wakes up everyday feeling dumb
It’s funny he asked if bad romance was on the first or second album right when I was looking at them but bad romance is actually on the 2nd album that came out in 2010 🫣🤭
