Hello there Akon!
Hi Slashmusic!
How happy on a scale of one to ten are you, right now?
I’m very happy, I feel great. It’s a beautiful day, the sun has come out, it’s great.
We like your 'bling', did you get it all to celebrate going to number one?
Nah, actually, I got all this stuff before I was famous. I’m gonna get a whole other bunch of stuff, by the time I come back over here – loads of real number one bling!
Bobby Valentino said recently that he was the king of bling – how do you feel about that?
That’s just cos he ain’t seen me! He should know better than that as well – I raised that kid! I can’t believe he said that!
Any 'beef' we should be aware of?
Not really – I’m friends with everyone. I don’t really get angry with people or anything – I’m like the incredible hulk when I get angry, you just don’t wanna see it.
What was the last text message you received?
‘Where the hell are you? Call your family!’ It was from my mom!
What did you text back?
'Ma, I’m trying! I’m working for our future, just give me a minute, I’ll be home soon!'
Oh, bless! Anyway, which popstar would you like to banish to the under-sea world?
He’s a bit old, but I’d like to sink Weird Al Yankovich, just for being so rude to Michael Jackson all the time!
Which celebrity ladies get you hot?
Beyonce, Christina Milian, Janet Jackson, Mya and Ashanti. They’re all really hot.
If you could have dinner with three people living or dead, who would you choose?
Michael Jackson, so he could tell me how to make all that money [Ummm - Ed], President Clinton, so he could show me how to do things behind closed doors, and the third person would have to be Donald Trump, cos he’s one of the richest guys in the world, and he could show me how to invest in property and make even more money!
When will we see 'Akon: The Movie'?
This September! I start shooting my own movie called ‘Trouble’ which is all based on my life experiences.
50 Cent is bringing out a movie based on his life experiences too – are you going to be in competition with him?
Nah, I love Fifty! I don’t see myself as being in competition with anyone right now. But if we are, then I suppose the best man will stand tall – I love the competition.
Who have you ripped off shamelessly to get where you are?
No one! So far, I’ve only been influenced by my own experiences. But I think it’s coming, cos I’m starting to realise that other artists have different talents and I’m actually admiring some.
Well, we'll let you get on with it! Bye Akon!
Bye Slashmusic!
What a thoroughly nice chap.
