Akon talk about Justin Bieber: Akon made a shocking statement, he claimed that Justin Bieber is his son? Senegalese singer was fooled by Bieber this summer, after Justin found Akon’s personal phone number, Bieber called him and insisted that he is his son. After he realized who was on the phone, Akon decided to get his revenge. Akon told the publication HollyScoop, “He is my son. I found out later that he is my son. ” Akon was depressed when Bieber started to call and ask him “Daddy, why you don’t love me?”

You can’t sing forever for children. Should gradually grow to become an adult, and this is the hardest part. Justin Timberlake managed to do it. “

Akon anther album released 'Angle': We’re assuming Akon’s track “Angel”, the lead single from is upcoming Stadium Music album, is yet another David Guetta collab, though whether Guetta produced it or not remains unconfirmed at this time. (We’d be shocked if it was anyone else, though—the two have created quite a pairing in the last year.) Listen to the dance jam below.We’re really digging this oh-so happy, melodic clubber about a girl who “got the whole place glowing” with her cherubic qualities. Yes, the beginning beat is more than reminiscent of the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling”, but if you’re going to be inspired by another song, there are certainly worse tracks to seek inspiration from than the single that spent the most weeks at number one in all of 2009.

As for David Guetta, between his work on this song, Rihanna’s “Who’s That Chick“, Flo Rida’s “Club Can’t Handle Me“, and various Kelly Rowland and Kelis tracks… Mr. Guetta, you are thisclose from being overexposed. Is this “Angel” from heaven? Or are you sick of all this dance music already and want Akon to return to his R&B roots?

The American singer, who jetted into Harare on Thursday afternoon for a show yesterday alongside dancehall maestro Sean Paul, told journalists that the continent had often been projected as underdeveloped and backward.

“I think there have been a lot of misconceptions, too, in a lot of places in Africa. But when you land in these places you never really see what they are talking about,” he said at a press briefing.

“You never get to see the misconceptions that are as far as the place being underdeveloped.”

He said, as he arrived in central Harare, he struggled to see the bad things that had been said about Zimbabwe in the Western world.
