- "Most artists aren't business people. For those type of people, then they should take the money"
- "Producers and writers on the other hand would be dumb to take the money they offered. That type of money never ends"
- "If they offer you that kind of money, imagine how much the catalog is REALLY worth"
- "Especially with all the stuff that is coming in the future, with the Metaverse and other things, its all content based"


:ohhh:

This, but also take stock into their own lifestyle and the fact that tomorrow is never promised.

Over all most of Akon music is fairly tame in terms of language and is played all around the world like literally all around the world. I was one in Qatar and Mumbai and they were playing his music at the airport and at restaurants in the city.

Since the language is fairly tame in many of his hit songs his music will be in some commercials all around the world selling stuff in 10 to 20 years from now.....believe that.
