Akon can remain irrelevant. Monsters were probably all posting #Clapback back in 2010 :noway:

He worded that disgustingly. I realize Lady Gaga is a brand but Lady Gaga is ALSO Stefani Germanotta and the way he casually dismissed her is revolting. Could have been waaaaay more tactful.

Tamar and Vince were there for the beginning and I trust Tamar's word more than Akon's as Gaga sees her like a sister.

I never really liked Akon too much and publicly saying that he was only backing Gaga for the money is just distasteful. Even if that was the truth, he should have been professional and kept it to himself. It's hurtful to Gaga and it makes him look like a creeper.

Y'all act like he did something stupid. He discovered her and built her up, but saw he couldn't do much more with her so sold his share. Its not like he had anything to do with her other than promotion.

Bless that girl for trying to stick up for her though, and Akon was just even more rude. Ugh.

Wow he didn't lie.

disgusting man

When did him and Gaga stop doing business? He left too early she didn't make real money until what 2011?

As a businessman he did the right choice, but as a human being...

I believe it, the royalties he's seeing from those early songs that still get played and placed all over the place are probably insane.

It seemed like he was out of her picture as soon as Just Dance died down and Poker Face took over, lol.

Akon did NOT discover Gaga. He lied. Tamar exposed him and he has just proved that he only jumped on the Gaga bandwagon for the money.

disgusting

Akon's period of relevancy is 2004-2010. Lady Gaga's period of relevancy is 2009-2011. Akon wins.

No he didn't

Right? Can he not just say he left for business reasons and leave it there?

"When I got it to the peak of where I felt it couldn't go nowhere, and there was nowhere left to go but down, I cashed out, in other words I sold my share and got out before it was too late."


Good for him.
