Omg you guys took it way too literally. He doesn't actually have shares in her.

He's on about when he ended her record deal with his label, he didn't want to renew it for Born This Way because he didn't think it'd make him any money or wasn't worth the headache of working with her.

Actually he quite literally had stake in GaGa's brand.

disgusting

Justice for Christina

I knew this era was going to be a mess when Gaga was walking in that forest, naked and chanting. . .what was she trying to channel this era? Maybe she just took this Artpop brand way too serious or overboard. . ..I'm just saying

[Poxy]

lemme go buy Akon's discography

[toanythingtaboo]

That says way more about him than it does her.

Same goes for those cheering his words on, too.

Can't buy class, kids.

[ZachM]

that is one of the worst things I've ever heard someone in the industry say. Honestly.

[Leon]

ARTPOP is the 3rd best selling album from all the pop girls in the last year so I don't see why people are still talking about it in a none successful way. It did better than everyone else.

Akon did the same to Gwen Stefani.

Good thing he will never see a hit again. He's been at it for years now and is not playing hard, working hard enough.

How is it rude?

He's a businessman. He saw potential in Lady Gaga, helped her network with other big producers in the industry, and then let her do her thing.



Y'all will not disrespect the great Akon today.

Right folks are getting butt hurt at the end of the day this is still a business and nobody is working for free.

I mean how do some of yall that work manage....If you're constantly in your feelings....its just business.

No wonder her career has gone so far downhill this era -- it has been without Akon's keen ear - and even Boomkack's choreography before that.

Akon left after BTW, when Gaga was 'declining' since Alejandro

Boomkack lasted up until You and I era, so she was in BTW, Judas, TEOG

Sit

You don't have to be an asshole to be a businessman. He could have worded it a lot better. He wanted to talk trashy and he did.

she was involved with the original TEOG video but Gaga fired everyone and that was the end of their relationship

I agree, but he could have shown more class

But didn't he call her family and said anytime she needs him she got the direct line?
He said cashing out was strictly business, he likes GaGa but didn't like her approach for her next record. Not personal strictly business.

Business Icon Akon

[villain]

It was obvious to everyone with sense back in 2010 how she would end up. He took his money and ran

I think most people here are either children or stuck in dead end jobs. The types that don't know how to pick their battles and get offended by every little thing. Then potentially burning bridges left and right. Wait. That kind of reminds me of a certain pop star who seems to be alienating everyone around her.

I love Gaga's music. Artpop even has some bops but her messy personality is so distracting. Just like in a company - when an employee's personal baggage messes with their work, sadly they must be let go.

[omgitsralph]

Look at him talking like he's some hot ****. Not when you have a song out with Laurieann Gibson

That's not true people's personal baggages must be accommodated with a job that's why there are psychologists to help employees. You sound ignorant. Just because a person is messy does not mean they cannot contribute, they bring diversity and it's always good

[Afferty]

a mod should take care of all these disgusting comments about Akon
