Akon Comments on Jay Z and Beyonce Divorce Rumors

In a recent interview with TMZ, Akon took time to share his thoughts on the rumors that has been in the air for an uncomfortably long time recently that Jay Z and Beyonce are getting a divorce. I have stayed away from reporting anything related to Jay and Beyonce splitting, cos I don't believe they can split, and I believe the rumors are just rumors. Not that I believe they are too perfect to split, no one is perfect, but because I believe much more than love, they handle their union like a business deal, so why would they want to fuck that up? Anyway, I have decided to post a story in line with these rumors because they have been so much news about this that I am beginning to believe that maybe they really are about to go their separate ways. 

"Their relationship has been more of a business to the outside world than an actual relationship. Now, to them, it may be a relationship, but it was presented to the world and it feels more corporate...Let me just speak for myself. I don't want to speak for everyone else. I'm just saying, how it may look from the outside coming in. They were trying to keep that relationship out of the public. When you a person of interest in the public, it's almost impossible to do it without speculation. If you become a public figure and you have a relationship, your relationship also becomes public. So, if you don't open up to the public and let people understand what this is, they will naturally speculate. Those speculations are gonna be completely opposite or completely wrong of what could really be happening. Now, you gotta answer or reply to what you shouldn't have had to in the first place. It's truly no one's business. But, it becomes a business of the public when you're a person of public interest. It's a matter of them saying, 'How do we go about moving forward?'" 

The last part of Akon's statement makes me believe he knows their is something going on, but can't really talk on it, and feels like they need to address it. They have put up this facade of a flawless relationship for so long that it would hurt their fans if they do come out and say they are going through tough times. But, come on! Which couple doesn't fight? I am very sure if the video of that elevator incidence with Jay Z and Solange (Beyonce's sister) never leaked, no one would have ever believed it could happen if the story was just published by a gossip site. I think they need to just speak on it and move on with their lives. 

Photo of the Day: Akon and Wizkid

Our photo of the day is that of Akon, and Nigerian prince of music, Wizkid. Nice all black everything format. Akon put this on his Istagram on Tuesday, with this caption..."Always a pleasure havin my lil bro @wizkidayo around humble and talented."

Akon Speaks on Reason For Having Multiple Wives

Akon has 4 wives (not girlfriend's), and in a recent interview with TMZ, he justified his need to be polygamous. I think his explanation is very interesting.

















"If America adopted that [polygamy] culture there would be less domestic disputes. The average guy in the world has a main girl and they got a side chick. And then they got a jumpoff. At the end of the day as a male we are natural breeders by nature. We can’t even escape it if we wanted to. Let’s say you put 1,000 guys on one corner and one bad chick walk past. You gon’ see 1,000 heads go, ‘Damn.’ They don’t even know why they doing it. They’re natural breeders. It’s in their genes, they can’t help it. Even if you’re walking with your girl and you’re holding her hand and you see a bad chick walk by and she lookin’ at you like, ‘Boy you better not look,’ you gonna wanna look so bad and you don’t even know why that urge is there, but you’re a natural breeder. It’s what we do.Men are put on this earth to breed and the reason why God put multiple women on this earth is for that."



He also spoke on the union of Marriage-

"Marriage just solidifies a relationship between a man and a woman spiritually under God’s eyes.  So, I can be spiritually attached to her, and still be spiritually attached to [another woman], and still be spiritually attached to [yet another woman].

Now, when you’re talking about commitment, understanding, loyalty…that’s a different conversation because what happens now is that people are having relationships, boyfriend and girlfriend, and treating it like it’s actually marriage. You’re just dating. The whole purpose of dating is so you can date this one, and date this one, and date this one until you find out, ‘Okay, this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. Okay, now I commit to what’s called marriage.’ You find that one woman that supplies everything that you desire in a woman, of course that will be a motivation to stick with that one woman, but I don’t know no one woman that can satisfy every man’s one need. It’s impossible. Just like there’s not one man that can satisfy a woman’s every need, but women aren't built to breed like that or mate with more than one partner Women aren't built that way, men are."

Well, what can I say, I can't judge a man for how he chooses to live his life. If the women have no problem with him, then who are we to condemn his act. He is actually smart enough to keep his wives scattered around the world, or else he would have been tried and jailed for Bigamy. But on the real, he made some point there...it really is had for a man to stay with one woman for the rest of his life.

What Do You Think of The P Square and Rick Ross Song/Video

I just got off Youtube after watching the remix video of P Square's Beautiful Oyinye which features Rick Ross, and I still have goose bumps all over. Being a Nigerian, and knowing how this dudes (P Square) started out, and where they are now is just really inspiring. They just singed a deal with Universal Records South African arm a couple of weeks ago, and everyone already knows they are going to be distributed throw Akon's Konvict Music in the states.



You can follow this link to watch it- P- Square- Beautiful Oyinye feat Rick Ross. But if your device can't view it, I would just give you a tip of what to expect. Part of the video was shot on a Yatch, and the quality is crispy clear as usual, a quality with most videos P Square shoot. I can't say any-more, I would take the fun out of seeing it the first time.

T-Pain Crosses Over To Young Money

T-Pain, who was the most popular artist on Akon's roaster till he (akon) signed Lady Gaga, has made a move to Young Money Records (Lil Wayne's label). What can i say? I think T-Pain shot himself in the foot with his mouth. I watched a lot of interviews of him when he was very hot, and you could tell that the success had gotten to his head. Even his boss, Akon would always be cool, but he never... I remember one time when he got on an interview, and he was running his mouth on how he could be compared with The Beatles. At the time, he had a couple of number 1 songs, and he thought it would continue that way. In life, you have to keep a level head, and stick more to your work than showing people what you have achieved.

On the "Lighters" track off Eminem and Royce Da 5'9's EP (Hell: The Sequel), royce raps-  I remember when T-Pain ain't wanna work with me My car starts itself, parks itself and Auto-Tunes. That's just an example on how he must have been at his prime. He is a very talented artist, and he is still young...in his mid 20s, so he still has a lot of time on his side.

Read what Akon had to say about the move below-

"That's Pain's business decision," he said with an emphasis on "business." "We've got one more album on Pain, which is the one he's about to release now. After that, Pain is free, man. He's his own man, he's his own entrepreneur and decisions from this point, he has to make on his own. I'm happy for him. Whichever way he goes, that's my little brother, he gets the support from us. That's my brother and it is what it is, you know what I'm sayin'?" 


T-Pain has always been good with hooks, and he always makes them Dj Khaled tracks bangers. They are both cash money/young money affiliated, so they would keep on making the bangers.

Akon Signed Lady Gaga and Basically Retired Afterwards

Akon signed Pop Icon, Lady Gaga and retired afterwards; i think i can say that with all authority. I don't normally talk on issues out of the rap genre, but Akon is so Hip Hop, i had to bring this up. Whenever i tell people that Akon signed Lady Gaga, they always go like- "hey, get your facts right". People can't imagine that the biggest Pop Star in the world right now is signed to Konvict music/Kon Live. Akon signing her was a gamble, but he hit it big, and i can say he retired afterwards.

Check it out; Akon signed her in 2008, the same year he dropped his third album (Freedom). After her worldwide success, akon didn't even bother going into the studio to make any album again...and he started doing funny collabos like the one with David Guetta...just playing around, because that Lady Gaga Royalty Money got him set for life.



Read what he said about the issue below-

"I think what everybody else didn't," Akon said about Gaga. "She had went through like four or five labels. When I closed my deal at Interscope, she was getting dropped that week ... they was dropping her again. I was like 'Yo, I wanna sign that right there.' Jimmy [Iovine] was like 'Yeah, whatever you want, take her. Let's get it done.' She's blossomed into a super-mega star. She's pretty much retired me. She was definitely a blessing. She came at the right moment. I'm glad I believed in her, boy. That goes to show, if you believe in something good -- it will pay off." (Associated Press)
