In less than a week as US rapper Kanye West signed the entire Mo’Hits crew to his G.O.O.D Music record label, US pop singing sensation Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam simply known as Akon has hinted that he will be working with Nigerian pop star 2face Idibia in a collaboration that he calls "SONG OF THE YEAR".
The Grammy Award winning act,who took to his twitter account in the early hours of Sunday, June 12, 2011 to tweet a picture of 2face and himself in Atlanta, Georgia, US.
‘Me and @2faceidibia working on a master plan in Atlanta! The world is not ready! African Connection‘, Akon tweeted along with the picture.
So we suggest that Akon might have seen the potential in 2face and probably wants to sign him on to his Konvict Muzik or Kon Live Distribution label?
It’s not the first time Akon is identifying with a nigerian act. A brief romance with Faze met with a lot of controversies around 2008, after Akon, who had met and discussed business opportunities with Faze in Accra, reportedly denied knowing him or planning to sign him. He would later withdraw his statement, even putting out a video statement to give props to Faze.
Faze and 2face are both former members of Plantashun Boiz – a nineties R&B group.
